Testing Flickr as image host
« on: September 24, 2010, 02:48:12 »
Does Flickr work normally as image host?

Follows more tests.

Moderators feel free to delete thread, as soon as I finish. (I'll let know when.)

Wonderful! It can change sizes easily ... And it's less aggressive to my comput.
Hmm, I smell future photostories! :P

Okay, I'm done.

hi GUs ...you think is better than photobucket?? I found that one very slow.

I don't know. I guess that due to the adds, Photobucket makes my computer to be stressed (and faint ..). Flickr seems to be lighter.

Hi Gus,
if your looking for a new host have you tried Picasa? It has it's own picture editing software and you can easily upload albums to the web. It's also very good image organiser on your pc.

I have given up using Imageshack.us and use Hostingpics.net instead with better results it seems for those reading my posts  ;)

I use flickr for my pictures, it's great because you can upload 1280 x 1024 pictures and show them in any of 4 sizes.

Here's an example of the medium size - 1024 x 768.

So am I enjoying Flickr because of the possibility of changing the size without having to save a new picture too. It's nicely thought, makes things easy!

(Besides, I like Yahoo, all right :P )
