Questions and difficulties regarding the posting of photos has appeared numerous times in this forum. So let me ask again. There has got to be a better system. I cannot edit and reorganize photos in any way that makes sense. I have given up trying to add pics to my site. Can the C-Dory upper-yucha-mucks take a look at Flicker and Facebook accounts to see how it's done. Thanks, David&Alicia

Sure, no problem - I just looked into it. I think I figured it out how they are doing it.

Based on various reports I've seen around the Internet, Microsoft purchased a 1.6% stake in Facebook for $240M. So, that makes Facebook worth $15 billion.

Flickr, being owned by Yahoo, is a little tougher to figure out. I've no idea what portion of revenues Flickr accounts for, but Yahoo turned down Microsoft's offer of $43.2 billion earlier this year.

Now...there may be other reasons, but I'll go out on a limb and suggest a butt-load of money, is the key ingredient of their photo handling success.

I've got a pretty big ego, but I'm a little out of my league compared to those two monsters. However, there's something to be said for running a small and lean organization. Perhaps if somebody dumps a measly $40-50 million in the tip jar, Mike and I could hire some really good talent, and get things working for a fraction of what MS and Yahoo have invested.

Or, you could just wait for the recently announced site upgrade.

Sincerely,

Your smart-a$$ co-host.

Bill, some scum bag stole my user name, greeniron, to use in some kind of spyware. My IP sent me a e-mail telling me this. I could not log into C-Brats, so had to sign up with a new name. How do I line up my new name with my photo album that's under my old name, greeniron? At your conveyance, thanks, Buck
 
Smuttynose, It appears to have been a year since you posted. Is there some specific problem with your browser? I find that some browsers are better than others. What do you want to accomplish that you cannot currently?

The site is not a P base photo site, but I have found it easy to use and very useful in illustrating projects. I think that it is a great asset--and suspect that with the new upgrades to the whole server that it will be even better.

Lots of thanks to those who spend hours at no compensation (and I suspect their own bucks!) out of love for the boats and the site to make this the best small boating site availablel!
 
Mia Culpa. I love this site. Next time I get frustrated uploading photos I'll take a deep breath, my meds and another piece of humble pie.

Bob, I am trying to take existing photos and put them into yearly albums. 2004, '05. '06 for example.

No problem with the venting. But you gotta admit - Bill's comeback is funny and good! Even if we do get the "measly $40-50 million in the tip jar", I'm keeping Bill.

I ain't Bill but I was able to wrest the name Greeniron away from the scum bag. Check your PMs for options for what to do about it.
 
Just create sub-albums and move the desired photos into the sub-albums.
I have 5 sub-albums in my main album.
It wasn't too hard to do.

David and Alicia, I read the question and since I have had simular trouble with the photos (and in all honesty have not tried for a while) I have some sympathies for your frustrations. But I looked at the user name and truly wondered at why anybody would pick a name like that. Then I went to your photo album and looked around and you have some great shots, including the one of the life saving house and your boat that shows up on the "Random pictures" on the home page. Interesting, the username comes from the Island. Much I have to learn about the right coast geography. Keep up with the beautiful photos.

And to the Chief Nerds. You really do a great job here and yes, I am waiting for the update.

Thanks. Incredible help from forum and emails. I'm beginning to get it. Switched from Safari to Firefox and everything started working. In less than 3 cups of coffee I have 4 pics in 4 albums! If I have more time before my retirement runs out I'll add more to this past season. I was able to get a mooring in Gosport Hbr at the Isles of Shoals in NH&ME after a 22 wait. My moniker Smuttynose is for one of four islands, that with 3 breakwaters, make this spot an almost safe haven (avoid NWwinds)
