Image hosting, pic hosting, scan hosting?

[Leon]

I guess it's a tiny bit better for us, if folks use external hosting, but why the pushback to using the Net54 pic hosting? I have 75 great looking images in my album and upload hundreds of images otherwise and have never had a problem. IS it because if you host them somewhere else you can easily use them in other places? I know I use my personal website for the lion's share of my personal collection so do understand that idea...best regards

I regularly post scans on three different boards (Net54, CU, and SCN) so having them in one place makes it easy for that. I use photobucket. Is Net54 better or easier?

Edit to add: I do have three Net54 Albums in my profile so I guess I do both.

I'll echo previous comments - I also use Photobucket and other sites.

I went to upload stuff to Net54 but apparently need to optimize my images as they don't fit within the 97+ K, 600x600 pixel limits.

Then again, I normally optimize/resize on Photobucket for displaying here, so maybe I'm splitting hairs that don't really exist ... like the ones on my head.

Hey Mike
We must go to the same barber . It really doesn't matter to me but I have always wondered why people would prefer other places. Our album page is the easiest I have ever seen to download scans. I do understand about having them in one place though. As I said before, and not to belabor the point, but it's a little better if folks don't host them here, vis a vis space and bandwidth ....

One point of note is that if the images are hosted outside of net54baseball.com, then they are not using net54 bandwidth.

Is that correct? I thought the opposite was true. If they are hosted here, they use space, but don't have to be retreived constantly, which uses bandwidth.

But I could easily be wrong.

Jim-never thought of that. I guess it could go either way but I always thought if hosted here it would use both bandwidth and space. As each page refreshes it would need to download the pics here...so space and bandwidth would be used. I guess I am not sure either.....
