Why upload stuff here?

Photos can be uploaded at any reasonable size here, and the large version is available to viewers.
Similarly, video uploaded here is much less compressed than on youtube - so do consider uploading a larger version here if you have something interesting to show.

Once you have a few photos uploaded you can view them as a slideshow - and ning supply a URL to share the slideshow in emails or forum posts.

You can arrange your pictures  (and chosen others from here) into folders perhaps on a theme; again these can be shared as a slideshow or album.

Videos can be shown in BFF forum posts using the direct link, below any uploaded video - but you can't embed them to actually play in a post.

Some other forums may allow the embed code.
