Well actually, I'm specifically talking about photobucket.com. Lots of people use it, and it only goes down occasionally. However, a friend of mine has been experiencing some problems with it -- namely, the images she has uploaded have been resized, and poorly! This has caused some problems as we are working together on a project, and the only other way we can send images is through email.

I have seen many other people use images larger than this one on photobucket with no problem whatsoever. I do not use photobucket and have no experience with it, so please.. why is it messing with our image, can we fix it, and if so how? We will need to host this on gaia later, and I do not know of another image host we can hotlink. Any help is appreciated! domokun

How about: ImageShack

Tried it once, but from what i used you can link: image, page with image. You can upload not even creating an account - but i think it's easier when you have more images to create an account...

Those sites are all unpredictable and not the best, but they are free. And they allow offsite linking. Hard to say why it randomly resized your images. There might be an image pixel restriction of some sort.

I use Pix8 and I've never had any problems, except meeting the bandwidth limit (1GB/month) once.

Photobucket probably has an image size limit. Images over that limit are automaticly resized.. I know alot of the free image hosts are like that...

one more idea: you could share a gmail account and use it as a server...

Yes. Raine is right.. Photobucket does have a file size limit.

Its even written below the browse button.

You can rarely save things in the .png format when using photobucket because it almost always resizes it.

ImageShack.us and Imgboot.com are both good and free and have size limits but it's much bigger than photobucket.

Uh, I always use .png and I never have a problem. I use photobucket myself now.

This is a really old topic. That 'friend' of mine is now an official backstabber and I haven't talked to her in months. Oh, and she was saving in .bmp format. sweatdrop

Everytime I saved something in Png, it was normally resized. I think that photobucket automatically changes. bmp to png but I'm not sure.

Uh, no. No it doesn't. There's no way it would do that.

Also, while sizably larger than .jpg, .png is not terribly large. You'd have to get a pretty sizable image in .png for photobucket to resize. I never upload anything larger than 500x500 on photobucket, though.

Well all of them were pretty large but that's before I discovered ImageShack and I don't really save stuff in png anymore because it takes forever on my computer.
