Imgur seems to be an oft suggested replacement - been fooling with it . . .
I have one issue - Photobucket and / or in combination with Fori auto-adjusted the picture size to 'fit' - Imgur apparently does not do that.
example: my camera produces originals 4928x3264 pixels.
I can upload the photos 'as is' here and (obviously) it's the Forum software that resizes.
I have/use IrfanView - and frequently do a "save for the web" simply to reduce the file size - knocks it down by a factor of 15-20 with little loss of detail, etc.
however . . . Imgur apparently links out the whole pixel size with the result that a photo stretches way past the screen - onto the neighbor's computer methinks.... Imgur has several "size" options - squares/thumbnails.... a 'Huge" thumbnail seems to be about the right physical size.
((yes I know, and I do, upload photos here direct comma most of the time....))
looks like below - untidy to say the least.
anyone have a handle on an 'optimum' pixel width for stuff to-linked?
here's the 'huge thumbnail' followed by the 'original' size
