Photobucket

Pardon my ignorance on the subject but why would you not just put the photos in a folder on your computer? Why would you use a third party site in the first place? If the photo is in a folder on your computer it is easier to make adjustments using adobe or photoexpress or similar programs. It is also easier to put watermarks on the images. This is what I do and it works fine. I don't feel the need to share with the world other than when I add to my website or post items here. I would appreciate hearing some perspective.

A website costs far more than an annual membership ($25) with Imageevent, and it takes considerably more time to add photos, much less deal with the quirks of operating a website, which I've previously done. With Imageevent, I can upload a photo, send a link to someone, and a minute later, they can see it, along with my entire collection. Plus, unlike Photobucket, the layout is uncluttered and attractive. I really enjoy my Imageevent site, and I never even question whether it's worth the annual fee. As far as I'm concerned, it's a bargain ...

I upgraded to the $99 package and have to say I have no complaints. Site runs much smoother without all those annoying ads and like that I didn't have to move everything.

It's a legitimate question. I do both. I load images from my laptop, whenever I display here, or on Facebook, etc. But for me, it's nice to be able to look at or show someone a card on my phone, using the third party's phone app. Also, there's a little peace of mind, knowing that if my laptop hard drive ever crashes, my images still exist somewhere. Wouldn't need to re-scan them.

tazdmb, I clicked on the link to your site and I was bombarded by ads. I literally get a pop-up everytime I click on something. Perhaps you don't see the ads on your site because you've paid the upgrade fee, but apparently others do when they visit ...
