[ArtphotoasiA]

Hello there, just a stupid ''newby'' questions... as I'm new to photoforums...

I will share (soon I hope) my works here... at least my last digitals done with my new canon, and I have a website... so...

1) is better post a link to a webpage with the photos already placed ?

2) is better post a link to a flyrk portfolio ?

3) is better upload a files into the forums ?

4) what about copy issue ?

Mo answer...

I will upload my images to a folder on my website, will be easier to share to control and to upload on my server without make your forum server mad!

then I will just click add image in the post editor to have photo displayed here!

it seams a good way.

I will add some watermark plus will be just 800px looks fair.

I hope to find soon the time to devleop all my raws!! can't wait your opinions and critiques.

I almost never click on any links....either you hotlink it from an image hosting sites or you upload the images to forum servers.

Mine are all hotlinked.

This is the point........ i like the photos displayed in forums... not just a link...... no one will click to see and give comments........ so in that way they will actually be on my server as files in a special folder as watermarked files max800px and also displayed here as images.......

Yah as long as you display it here it's fine, if people want to control their pics it's better to upload to our server as only members can view.

If you don't mind the public browsing your pics then feel free to hotlink from another site.

For Malaysia users, uploading to our server also gives better performance than hotlinking from US servers.
