Is there a payment plan?
The YB staff will send out balance statements, not bills, email so in a given month, you don't have to pay anything, as long as you have paid in full by May 1st, 2017.
What if I want to buy an ad with a friend or two?
- If you are being billed, then all people in the ad have to sign the contract, stating exactly how much each person will pay. All payers must also furnish proper billing addresses.
Can I use pictures from Facebook or other social networking websites?
- It is not recommended that you use these types of photos, because the resolution is too small. Although the image will appear large enough on your computer screen, most Facebook-sized images only print out at approximately 1.5 inches by 2 inches. If you are determined to use a Facebook image, have it printed up as a hard copy and submit that; we can guarantee the level of image quality that you have on your hard copy.
Can I use pictures taken with my cell phone?
- Just like the problem with Facebook images, your cell phone pictures are dependent upon the quality of the phone's camera. Usually a phone camera that is 5 megapixels or greater will produce the proper resolution needed for print. We will have to analyze files taken with a camera that has a megapixel number that is less than 5. As mentioned in the previous question though, if you print a hard copy, we can match that quality and use that image.
