How do I register with PBase?
There is no cost to create an account and try PBase out for a 30 day trial period, but please read the pricing information if you would like to become a PBase subscriber.
You will need to provide the following information in the registration process:
Email Address
Your email address is used to send your password to you if you should forget it. Your address will not be displayed to other users unless you choose to later by editing your account and adding a public email address. You can also login using your email address instead of your username.
Username
Your username is a unique identifier that you will use to login with. It may be up to 24 characters long but a shorter one will be easier for you. It may consist of letters, numbers, and underscores. Usernames are not case sensitive.
Password
Your password is used to authenticate yourself when logging in. It should not be based on a dictionary word and should include letters,numbers, and other characters for increased security. Passwords are case sensitive which means if you use lowercase or uppercase letters, you must type them in exactly the same way when logging in.
First and Last Name
Your first name and last name are displayed on your PBase pages. They may include lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and spaces. If this field is left blank, your username will be displayed instead. |

Direct Linking
-
- Paying PBase customers can direct link to their own public images as long as they have direct linking enabled on the image's parent gallery. If you try to direct link to images that are non-public or password-protected, it will fail.

- You can enable or disable direct linking for your whole account at the update account page.
You can enable or disable direct linking for a specific gallery in the advanced view of the edit gallery page.
If you disable direct linking, images that have already been linked to will still show up for a little while before they are updated. All other images are blocked from direct linking immediately.
-
- Unfortunately there is no way to tell who is direct linking your images.
However, please note that even if you have a very large counter value for your direct links, it does not necessarily mean that someone has illegally linked to your image. It has been found that the direct link counter is incremented even if you just copy the full URL of your image and paste it on your browser and press enter.
-
- To get the direct linking URL for an image, view the image and add .jpg or size.jpg to the end of the URL. This works just like linking to an image page but append .jpg to the end of the URL. example: www.pbase.com/image/image number.jpg example: www.pbase.com/image/image number/size.jpg Note: to direct link to a .gif, use the .jpg extension also. It will still send the gif file. You can also easily get the direct linking URL by viewing the edit image page and looking... (more)
