How do I link to my PBase pages?
Link to your root gallery (all of your galleries)
example: http://www.pbase.com/username
Link to one of your galleries
example: www.pbase.com/username/gallery name
Link to a single image using default size
example: www.pbase.com/image/image number
Specify the size of an image
example: www.pbase.com/image/image number/size
Direct linking to an image for use on another website, forums, or message boards:
Due to bandwidth costs, you can only use this feature if you have paid.
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.
The number in the image URLs is that photo's image_id which is a unique number across the site. You can find this number by viewing that photo and looking at the URL in your browser's address/location bar near the top or by holding your mouse over the thumbnail for that photo, and looking at the URL in your browser's status bar at the bottom.
IMPORTANT
Please use only the hostname www.pbase.com or pbase.com in your URLs. These will always work. Other hosts such as image2, genjaro, www2, ji, or anything similar might work or seem to work at first, but are server specific and may become invalid as the site hardware architecture changes. One goal of pbase is to never break incoming links to the site. When changes are made to the URL structure, the old ways still work. But for this to work, you must use the official URLs as explained above. |

Non-Public Galleries
-
- A non-public gallery is one that is not listed in a user's gallery list.
Unlike a password protected gallery, users do not need a password to view this gallery, they just need to know the URL for the gallery. This is a useful tool if you do not want to have to set a password for a particular gallery and give it out to specific people; you can simply give them the URL of the gallery or image.
-
- Anyone is knows the URL for a non public gallery can view the gallery. Viewers do not need a password to view a non-public gallery, but a non-public gallery can be password protected.
-
- Yes, a non-public gallery can also be password protected. You can add a passkey to a non-public gallery the same way you add one to all other galleries.
-
- Yes. A non-public image can be in a public gallery. When editing an image, you can decide whether an image is public by checking or unchecking the box next to "this image is publicly viewable". Even in a public gallery, if you uncheck this box, the image itself will be non-public and will only show up to the image owner.
-
- No. Subgalleries of non-public galleries are not non-public unless you manually set them to be.
-
- A password protected gallery will show up in your gallery list. Viewers will not be able to access the gallery unless they have the passkey.
A non-public gallery will not show up on your gallery list. Viewers will need to know the URL of a non-public gallery or image in order to view it.
A gallery can be made both non-public and password protected. Viewers will need to know both the URL of the gallery and the password for the gallery in order to view it.
