Thomas,

If you want to put photos into your own gallery in Kitmaker then you need to upload them from your Easyshare (which I use also), but to put your pics into a forum post you just copy the bottom link from the pop-up that appears when you place your cursor over the pic in Photobucket, and paste it into your forum post.

Hope this helps you out.

Cheers, D

I use photo bucket for all my forum post. But I would also like to use it for my campaign post. It is so much easier to use. Does anybody have any ideas?

Is there any way of uploading photos straight from photo bucket to the kitmaker campaign page? I don't want to use of the memory up in the kitmaker storage. There is no way to change the pixals in kodak easy share. Does anybody have any ideas?

I found a way to solve my problem. It is called http://picasa.google.com. You are able to edit your photos from easy share down to 640 pixals and then save them to a folder, where you can upload to the campaign folder. This way you don't use up all your memory space real quick. You can still use Kodak Easy Share and Photo Bucket for your regular forum post. Hope this helps somebody else also.

Glad that helped, after I changed all my photos I didn't use up like any memory. So I won't have to worry about my pictures for the campaigns anymore. I use photo-bucket for all my regular posts and picaso for the campaigns only.

Hi Guys,

Soory I didn't find this post earlier, I have a tip.

Before uploading pix, open it in PAINT, the common Windows program. In PAINT, Simply go to FILE, then SAVE. That strips out all kinds of embedding from the photo. I shoot most of my pix at 1 megapixel, which creates pix about 500-800Kb; saving via PAINT decreases them to 250-400Kb without a loss of fidelity.

ok I think i understand what you are saying. Now what do you do if you want to post your photos on the site such as constructive comments? I am not very computer savy so this is alittle confusing. all I want to do is to enter a posting with some pictures, simple I guess but frustrating.

I know this is not the right spot for this, but I cannot create a new topic and it's driving me nuts!
I'm having some trouble posting anything, as in making a new thread.
Can someone please help me out?
When I attempt to post, after selecting the appropriate category and select "go" it sends me back to the posting page, but everything I did is empty and it doesn't seem to post into the forums...
And I cannot select the "yes" button where it asks "ready to post your topic?"
Is there something special I need to do?
Thanks for any help you can provide!

Ok, looks like I can respond.
However, when I attempt to create a new topic, the "yes" button doesn't do anything.....
:(

Hi Salvatore,
What is the file size of the images you are trying to upload? I think 3MB is the max and anything larger gets discarded (but it says it goes thru - bug).

OK, I'm completely confused. I'm trying to add some pictures to my gallery. I go create an album, go to upload, choose files and hit upload submit. Long delay of "Submitting..." then just as it looks like I'm done, I get "your category can not include photos". I'm uploading directly to the album photos that all are about 1mg each.

Anyone else having problems? Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance
