Hi all. I have been a member for 5 years or so. When I first joined I remember there being an option to be a premium member which would give you extra photo storage etc. I have looked but dont see this anymore. Did they do away with it? Is there any way to increase storage. I notice some members have many photos. I know you can shrink photos. Is that what the members with 50+ pics do? Any help would be appreciated. Cheers!

The A-Guard is what you are referring to and it is not in use at this time. I have more pictures than space allows for as they were placed in there when I was on staff, and staff have unlimited space in their gallery as their position requires it. There has been talk in the forums about reintroducing this facet, but as yet that is not the case.

You can reduce the resolution(?) of your photos to around 90-100 kb and squeeze more into your gallery.
I use a nice freeware program called "Irfanview" that gets the job done easily. Not affiliated with them other than a satisfied user.
Cheers!

Thanks guys. Much apprecated.

Photobucket.

I have almost a thousand pics and i'm not even using 20% of my space. And it's free!


cheers

I agree... Photobucket.
There is a simple free and a "pay-able" entrance.
The free version has a limit of 500MB.
