I know I'm going to regret this, since no good deed goes unpunished, but I have set up a place for us to store pictures, at: http://kartalk.pccomps.com , clicking on that link will give you some instructions on downloading an FTP client and using it to put your pictures up on the web. The FTP client should be already configured to point to Kartalk, if not, there is a drop down list that you can find it in. There are also intructions to configure your own FTP client. FTP means File Transfer Protocol, and is how we load up pages to make websites and such. Also works great to store images. I have Josey Wales guarding the site, so y'all better behave, LOL. I intenionally mispelled Kahrtalk to avoid copyright infringement. Please note that it is KARTALK without the H.
an example of a pic stored there is at: http://kartalk.pccomps.com/Josey_Wales.jpg .
To post a picture once it's uploaded you would click on the add a pic box, here on Kahrtalk and type kartalk.pccomps.com/yourpicturesname.jpg. Now we all will have access to all uploads and can erase other people's pics, so please be careful. I figure we can be adults and not mess with other member's stuff. Please don't post any pornographic images. A boob or a butt is ok, just no sex acts.
I would also ask that you keep the KB size of your pictures to a minimum.
I reserve the right to download pics, reduce the KB and repost them. It won't affect noticble quality but saves a lot of space.
I just did this so we don't have to mess with photbuckets rules and such.
Your pictures will come out the same way you uploaded them, no thumbnails or any of that stuff to mess with.
If you want to use it fine, if you don't, then don't. Doesnt matter to me.
I just have all this web space going to waste thought I might as well use it for something.
For you folks configuring your own FTP client, it needs a password that's not included in the instructions. PM me to get it please.
