Hello!

The problem isn't getting the links to use to share images, but rather, it's getting acclimated on a different site, to see which features it offers, and where they're all tucked away.

Right! That`s what I`m dealing with right now...had Photobucket down and dreaded learning another program but discovered Flickr is simple. I`m only using these programs to post here, that`s it, not too worried about  bells and whistles . I`m going to check out Postimage tomorrow probably. I never realized there were so many of these photo sharing programs out there..lol.

Baron......TempestJohnny was saying that they solved the problem at Postimage...now it`s postimage.cc instead of .org.

Have you tried Flickr? It`s really simple to post from there.

Thanks, yeah, I got back on Postimage yesterday.  It looks like they created a new domain, postimages.org, which redirects to the .cc domain.  I'm messing around with Imgur, too, just to see.

Thanks for the info Baron! I seem to have Flickr working so far, keep your fingers crossed for me...

Thanks Johnny! I saw a post from 1943Mike explaining how he uses Flickr....it`s the same way I post pics on my Facebook groups...copy image, paste in the text body...doesn`t get any simpler than that...

Tanker.......Kids are great! I loved when my kids were little and saw something for the 1st time and were awe struck over it...lol. Now they`re all in there 20`s and couldn`t give a rat`s a$$ about anything..

I just created an account for myself at Imgur.  It looks like it's free.  We'll see how hard or easy it is to work with.

Thanks Baron! What are you using to post your pics? I had Photobucket but I think my account was deleted. Is there something better to use?

Yeah, Photobucket has put its customers through two years of drama.  They were losing ad revenue as free account holders used ad blockers, so they eliminated the free accounts.  Now, if you want them to host your photos and link them, it's $400 a year.  I had a paid account, so I still had hosting through 2017.

I started using Postimage, but they've run into a problem of their own.  Last Wednesday, we Postimage customers saw a message on the site, announcing that their domain registration had lapsed.  We were then redirected to a fail-over site.  A couple of days after that, landing on the main Postimage page throws off a "Server not found" error.  It's been suggested that someone bought up the domain while it was expired and is holding it for ransom, demanding that Postimage pay to get it back.  Linked images still appear to be working, but you can't get to the site to upload more or do anything else.

I've seen some go with Imgur, and others to Fotki.  I don't know if Imgur offers free hosting or not.  Fotki has a small fee, I think.  But it's been around for a long time, so it might be worth it to pay for a subscription.

Can you guys see my tank? Mike sent me Flickr instructions and just want to see if it worked. I see the tank, hope you do..lol.

Welcome back.

Welcome back to the Forums Len! Glad to have you back aboard.

Welcome back, Len!

Yeah, I had the same question about Hammer a couple of months ago.  I couldn't remember even if he might have passed away.

He came back briefly a couple of years ago, if i remember right under a different username, i think he had had issues with his account. But he has not been back since. Quite a few of the old names have dropped off the grid.

Good to see you back.
