      I need to set up a community photo album for the web so many different people can upload photos.
      What are some good options?

      I was thinking Picasa but I believe you have to have it associated with a gmail account. I would like to just log onto a site with a username and password then upload for all to see.

      Thanks.

        I'm a Flickr fan. But I think that adds a 2nd step. Login, upload, then send all images to the community group.

          Why not here? I mean there are many wordpress photo album options available.

          one week playing with websites and I act like I know something already.

            Thanks guys.

            I would also like the ability to hotlink from the web album to another site, like this forum for instance.

              flickr does allow that. It even provides html code or bbcode so you can easily insert an image.

              Teton Valley Building by Chris Fullmer, on Flickr

              I just went to my image, clicked on share and specified the image size and the sharing format (bbcode in this case) and it outputs all the necesary code to put a clickable image perfectly inline, with links to my photostream below it.

              I really like flickr. If you can talk people into making an account there, it is really worth it.

                You need a Google account - which can be associated to any email addrees. However it's still troublesome that way.

                Chris: I think Eric wants an album with multiple login accounts without the members being able to delete each other's uploaded content. Can Flicker have such a shared album?

                      The free flickr account limits how many images you can upload (200 I think.)

                      Life's a reach, and then you gybe.

                        Or simply share a folder on Dropbox

                        http://db.tt/1ztVLIf

                        It means everyone must install DropBox on their machine if they want to get full benefit. But if they have smartphones they can access the album anywhere.

                        If they don't install then they can just create an online account and view on the web.

                            Pilou, does Photobucket have shared albums? (I.e. can anyone upload there without having to share the same login details?).

                            And DP is not an album - just a file sharing device.

                            I think I know what Eric means but among all these, currently I find only Picasa to (somewhat) do all these things.

                              Thanks for all the replies.

                              What I would like is to just set up a spot then email out to a group the username and password which will allow them to upload photos at will. For instance an extended family adding photos of a family reunion.

                                Well, you can still do that the easiest IMO in Picasa. Setting up a Google account is the easiest in the World (why else do you think gmail is the most popular spam domain?).

                                Finally there you can tag the faces before and after the reunion and all that fancy stuff. Ideal for such things extremely quickly.

                                You can quickly make a new gmail account and add your real account as "shared" so you do not need to log in with all different accounts (and can do this with "more advanced" Internet users in the family, too).

                                Just like we had the shared BaseCamp album, remember?

                                  That does sound like the best option. I forgot about the shared option.
                                  Thanks Gai.

                                    Pilou, I (or Eric) did not mean "sharing" like you can send the link to anyone. He meant a way that anyone can joinan album (the author can share it as a collaborative album) and upload photos with his/her login account and such. From what you wrote, Photobucket is not the place.

                                    I guess what Eric does want to avoid here is that all the family keeps sending the pics to him and he spends the whole day uploading them. πŸ˜’

                                    You are really "Speedy Pilou" (even answering before reading)

                                      That's why dropbox is the best. No fancy crap like Picasa offers just plain old images to open as you wish. No different than any other folder in your HDD.

                                      May not have bells and whistles but does the job. I share all my provocative photos there πŸ‘

                                        Well, DP can also be. But note that there will be grandma's also wishing to browse the album and not install sharing software on their lappy's.
