Layout Lounge

Finding a place to store all your images is a pain. I've been struggling with PhotoBucket since they started charging and have removed their mass download button to keep people there. FYI: I found a way around that.

So where do you store your images if you want to be able to share or just have them somewhere taking up less space on your computer. Below are a few great options.

Thank you to all of you who are suggesting locations. Below are suggested places with things you should know.

1. Flickr
Free accounts available but limit you to 1000 images.

2. Cloudinary
Your free account includes "25 credits". 1 credit is worth 1GB of storage or bandwidth. So if you are just storing image you have 25GB of storage with isn't a lot but it is a good amount. If you are creating icons and sharing this will quickly become and issute for you.

Account Status: All
Theme: At least Flexible Squares maybe more....
Actions: Random Numbers on Sidebar

I don't know what LJ is doing but they are making all sorts of issues. As you can see there are numbers popping up on this sidebar. I've never encountered this before but suddenly there they are.

What they are is essentially numbering for a list. It is a long explaination but your links and tags are essentially a bulleted list that has been customized with coding by LJ and layout makers. Now numbers are showing up.

In your coding you might see something like this:
.sbarbody2, li.sbaritem2 { padding: 5px; margin: 0px 0px 0 10px; font-family: "Abel", arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px !important; text-transform: lowercase; text-align: left; } .sbarbody { margin:0; padding: 5px; padding-bottom: 5px; }

Pass the word on by reposting this message....

I've gotten some requests for assistance from some members/vistors which I'm not ignoring. Currently there is something up with LJ. I'm not seeing any of the menus and even the posting page has no structure to it. Just text and boxes.

Simple text posts are going through but trying to diagnose an issue on a layout or help in any way is pretty much not going to happen until LJ fixes the problem.

According to the Support Boards, I'm not the only one seeing this issue though most people were told it was their browser. I was told this but persisted because it couldn't be Chrome, Firefox, and IE on multiple computers.

If you are having similar problems, I recommend trying to open a support ticket though it is easier said than done.

Until this issue is resolved; I can't be of any assistance. But all questions I've been asked will be answered as soon as LJ is functioning again.

So I don't know what the PTBs over here at LJ are doing but they've screwed up so stuff again. I don't know if you are noticing your Tiny Icons are all messed up. Not only that but Rounded Corners are all reverting to the squared look. Tranistions and Transform of header links on some of my recent layouts is also messed up. Here is an attempt to fix some of LJ's bugs.

Tiny Icons:

This above picture is the issue I discovered. Notice how my cool Super Mario icons are present but you can see the generic LJ icons as well. Thank you for this LJ.
