piper Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I haven't had much luck uploading images directly to the website (file size too large), so what are my options for third party hosting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean the CGC website? If you open with paint, you can re-size the pixels to about 720 and uploads just fine..... there is no zoom feature when you click to enlarge, but works perfect for just showing off scans and pictures, the only place you might need a zoom feature is in "spare a grade"(presumably). Quality scanners seem to do the job just fine for most anyway. It's just a new function of the boards makes all the pics/scans the same size anyway, so that we don't have to worry about people putting too big a scan anymore If this seems not to your liking I understand, a lot of people prefer 3rd parties like photo-bucket. With the new boards I don't see the point of it any more. this way my scan's and pics are on my computer and saved in the recycle bin but to each their own, just thought that I'd give you the option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a problem early on in the transition to the new boards, but they seem to have fixed it. As it is now, the board software resizes images so that they meet the board's acceptable specs. Have you tried lately to drag a file into a post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADAMANTIUM Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 I agree it should work now with most pics/scans. I still have a problem with it loading on my phone, but my laptop seems to work fine, I don't know what the difference is.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just posted a thread about this myself. Someone posted, Postimage.com site. I just spent a few hours moving over my images to there. They hold the original size which is great for scans and sales threads. I am done with photobucket. Too much trouble. I have used Imgur.com but have had much trouble with using different albums on that site. Images would move back to the main folder and never hold the attributes correctly. So I cannot recommend imgur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastballspecial Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Love Imgur for posting pics. Its not the best user friendly for albums and such, but for posting pics its awesome gives you several options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
