What is your preferred method to show your stuff to the forum and the net?

The poll options will be.... and of course discussion is preferred to assist new members..

Attach my picture to a post (counts against your total space allowance)

I use the CRZForum Gallery (Limited amount of resolution and pictures)

I use the CRZForum Garage (Pretty much the Same as Gallery)

I upload to and use an external picture library on the internet and link to it in my post using the [IMG]http://**[/IMG] tag.

I use whatever works for the moment..

Photobucket

^ Yea - have learned that linking to a site like photobucket is probably the best way to show it..

Imgur is much better than photobucket.

MattB, How and why.. details please?

I suppose it's mostly personal preference, but imgur is simpler, doesn't require sign-up,strips metadata, and in my experience tends to have the most stable and quickest load times.

Ok.. that makes sense.. no sign up is nice! Will check it out, thanks!

To answer the poll question, I'll add that I prefer external links.

Have you ever tried searching for something through google, find a post completely relevant to your interest, only to find that you need to register to see the images? It can make it a pain for anyone who wants to see something, but isn't interested in becoming a member.

i use to upload my pics to a gallery till you all made me discover photobucket,been using it since.

Yea, imgur is pretty convenient.. Good alternative. Also has the various tags next to your pic after you post it for what type of link you want so you can just copy and paste..

Here is what imgur looks like after you post a pic. On the left are your selection of tags and see the one highlighted in blue. One would just click on it and copy - Then you just have to paste it to your post and walla - your pic is posted to the forum..

It is the same basic concept in Photobucket.. Which thanks to other Forum members, I now use..
