Pictures

[The Viv Element]

I wanted to save a monthly photo of myself on here so I can see the improvements I make over the years but i'm not sure where i would save them on here. I feel stupid for not being able to figure it out lol unless there isn't an option then whoopsies

I'd make a gallery and date them. Simple and to the point.

 

Hugs!

The gallery feature allows you to save images that aren't available to the general public. If you have questions, I'll try to help, or Jackie (or one of the other mods) can probably give you a quick tutorial. I'm only marginally competent.

LOL thanks guys, I made this post and then saw the gallery tab right after ? Ignore this post!

No!  It will help others who have the same question.

I can't seem to make my pictures private, Like i saw the privacy option but the only privacy option it had was "Everyone can see this album", there is no "only me" & i tried clicking on it because I thought it would 'uncheck' the option but it didn't do that either.

Only actual members of the Forums can see the pictures in your albums unless you import them into these posts here.  Non Members get a warning that they do not have permission to view them, that is why I tell members to "LINK" the pictures into these posts instead of inserting them.  Mod's and Admins are "All Seeing" in the Galleries anyway.  I saw your picture and it looks like you have something to show off.  If you are following our rules about what you can put in the Galleries you should not have any problems, and if someone gives you a problem, let the Mods or Admins know via PM and we have ways of fixing things.

I'm removing my album then... since some photos won't necessarily be appropriate down the road since i'll eventually want a reminder of what my bare body looked like at one point... I think instagram has an archive for photos to keep them out of public hands so I'll try that. 
 

Also, I may have something to show off but it's the personality that counts ❤️ Thank you Vicky!!

Can't you just keep them in a specific folder in your phone?  That way they're not out in the inter web.

Good Call Jani. Viv put into a folder in computer or phone that way only you see then. You put then on gram and they easy to hack into

Yes I've already done that, I even have an 2.5" 750 GB HDD dedicated to my entire life photos with family and just everything, even some brainstorming for projects and such are on there still haha. But the problem is i'm afraid of my storage devices potentially becoming corrupted/water damage/lost, like i lost a phone with some invaluable pictures and video on a road trip about 3 years ago before i could back them up to my HDD ? So I wanted an online storage for my albums that way if anything happened to them, i can get them back. So i made an entirely new account on instagram, where as it's private & i'm not going to add anyone with that account. Then i'm going to archive the photos so it's like another wall from the public, i set a 2 factor authentication and an entirely new email account just for the account. I feel 99% confident they'll be safe now! ?

I have a couple of external hard drives for that reason, and one of them is in a fire resistant lock box except when I am synchronizing it with my HD.   Google has a storage place on the Cloud for that, as well as Adobe apps.
