Album 2 is the 2nd photo album provided by TheDollPage.com for the doll collecting community. It was recently completely upgraded to the latest version available. The service is free to all.

The idea is to give you a place to host pictures for posting on Auctions, Doll Forums, etc. and to share with friends. Album 2 is for temporary storage only.. we delete them for you after 90 days.

Please note that we are currently not deleting pics after 90 days due to our permanent album (Album 1) being temporarily closed. We plan to have the permanent album rebuilt and open to all users by March 31st, 2009, and we will begin deleting 90 day (and older) pics at that time.

There is no size limit on pictures to be uploaded, but please be aware that all uploads are re-sized to a web-friendly size.

You can upload as many of your pictures as you'd like, but we ask that you keep them doll-related. An occasional picture of family, pets, etc. is OK.

The pictures must be yours or you must have permission to post the pictures from the owner.
