Can the photos be used as avatars in social websites?
Hi there — I’m with Freerange Stock. We appreciate the nice post and the enthusiasm for the site. In response to the above post, yes, the photos could certainly be used as avatar.
I just went to the website, registered and tried to browse some photos. When I clicked on one to download it, it said I had to log in. Which I did SEVERAL times. Still it didn’t think I had. Finally, I got in and was able to download an image which came in as a file named download_file2.php which was able to be viewed in my pio viewer, but PS and other apps all thought it was a php script. Once in the website, there’s not really a good nav system set up. I had to peek and poke all over just to see some photos (of which I could only find a couple hundred). There’s something called a “lightbox” which is never explained anywhere that I could see. Waste of time.
