Bye Bye Webshots...Sort of!

I don't really know but for the past two days I have been seeing Dixie and Dusty in my signature just fine. I relinked and it's been working since. I guess I'll stick with Webshots for a little while longer. I always fight change. I like things nice and stable and running the way I know how to deal with it.

But we don't see them now, Dixie. Are you seeing them?

**Cinder & Smoke** · 01-24-2002, 03:58 PM

Logan is correct, Dixie ~ WE don't see them!

Dixie can probably see her thumbnails because they are archived and stored on her computer ~ WE can't see them because we have to request WebShots send us a copy from their server - which they now refuse

to do.

Sorry to say it, but anyone who has thumbnails stored on WebShots needs to make a change to another photo storage site

So, is Photogra the site that everyone is using now? I want to transfer my pics to that site. Is it as easy to use as Webshots? Can I download them into Photogra directly from Webshots, or do I need to upload them from my computer again? Help, I'm not the best at this sort of thing...dfrrrrrrjnmmmmmmmmm

PS-The dfrrjnmmm is from Elvis walking across the keyboard! Just thought I'd leave it. It probably means Momma is a big dingbat! LOL!

And there I thought it was Puss Cat for "Mommy Darling is so frustrated that my adorable pictures need to be transferred!!"

OKAY... I realize now that I have to change! I'll get around to it soon. I still see Dixie and Dusty but if you guys can't then it definitely needs changed.

So far I've been able to bring up the pictures by right clicking, then "copy image location" to the top, click back browser and picture would show. Just went into Zippy's Can you identify this? and only got Webshot's message. So It's real. Fortunately, I just starting posting pics and only had a few in Webshots.

Chuck and Phred:
Thank you for your answers. Now I understand why I can see my signature picture but nobody else can

I'll open an album in Photogra whenever I have a chance.

Don't mean to confuse the situation anymore, but....I found another GREAT photo site through the Lab Ret. board in case some of you guys haven't moved over to photogra.com yet.... it's
www.photoisland.com It has great storage, posting on the web, editing tools, guestbook, "favorites" and you can download a tool that allows you to convert any photo or image into the jpg. format! Feast or famine!

At least it's a backup. And the downloading is easy and fast!

Sandra, this must be a fairly new site. I went there and went to the gallery so I could check out how the pictures appeared and what their quality was. I'm not completely satisfied with Photogra.com as you can't get the complete resolution of your photos there. PhotoPoint really had me spoiled with that aspect, because if you wanted to see the picture as taken, you could enlarge it. Anyway, back to PhotoIsland, I went to the Gallery and couldn't find any pictures in any of the Gallery areas. Boy could a few of us Pet Talkers change THAT in the animal areas. Ha What I was wondering was if you had the album address from anyone on the Lab Board, so I could check out an album. Thanks.

Just went to back and under the FAQ section I found that you could link to auction, which essentially means that we could link our pictures herehowever it did say that the links aretemporary (3 months). I don't know how this would work out for us. Would probably be okay as our threads generally don't run for that period of time, but we would have to revamp our signature pictures after three month.

Oh, and it did say that you could store and access the original image.

I copied a few pictures to photoIsland.com and it was really easy to use. Even easier than Webshots I thought.

Hopefully you can see the pictures in my signature now.

**Pam** · 01-29-2002, 03:51 PM

Sorry Dixieland Dancer...can't see your pictures.
