I want to know more about photohosting. I usually use Photobucket or Imageshack. In the past, this is how I host photos: I right click on an image, go to properties, copy the url, go back to photobucket, and host it. Does that steal the person's bandwidth? Or do I have to save the image to my computer to host it? Because I've been having problems with saving it to my computer. It won't work. Can someone please help me?

It doesn't matter whether you host your image from your computer or directly from the Internet as long as your hosting site allows it. If you use the links from your hosting site, it does not affect the bandwidth of the person that you took pictures from.
Can you specific what problems you have in saving images to your computer? |

Thanks. At least that's cleared up. The problem I'm having is that whenever I rightclick on a photo and click 'save image as...' it never saves in a format that photobucket and imageshack will acknowledge. And if I save in in bmp (or whatever) that they do host, there's no photo in the file. I've tried "save target as..." too and it wouldn't work. I don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I assume that you're using Windows.
Go to your control panel -> Folder settings -> File type -> add in .JPG, .GIF & .PNG for the file types. You might need to switch to the traditional menu if you're using XP. |

Ahh... did you save them as .JPG?
That happens on my computer also. You need to actually go to the folder where you saved the pictures, and then add .jpg after the file name. I think it should work this time. :) |
