Does anyone use an image hosting site here?
Am very experienced with posting images that are full size but reduced to a loading size that is less than a thumb nail. The thumb nail image seems to be the norm as a posted image on this forum unless you pay a forum fee. It is a thing that I do to stop the storing loading drain that images can be to a forum.
Am using imgur image hosting site at present but unfortunately the advance editing tools are down because of technical issue. Hopefully it will be fixed soon as it makes a very average image look heap better when you need it.
With imgur if you let your images be used by anyone that wants them it covers the cost of the image hosting site. Fair deal I believe.
Photobucket another image hosting site did the dirty on us and went from being free to $450 per year. Have some very teco threads in a collectibles forum that many people have book marked and it brings a lot of new people to that forum because of that threads quality. Photobucket left heaps of images in that thread remain in place which was very sporting of them.Have lost over 15 years of images because I refuse to pay $450 per year to have access to them.
But imgur is a bit of a moral dilemma as they seem to be pushing porn images which I am totally against and never look at them but understand the temptation that it can be for others.
Does anyone else use an image hosting site? Any opinions about using image hosting sites?
