Also FWIW, if you attach an image, there's no taking it back once the time limit for editing your post has expired. If you keep the picture on a host you control (and link to it), you can always delete it later.

Ahh. But of course you'd need a host..

SteveDallas · 08-10-2007, 04:11 PM

Or a service like flickr, photobucket, smug mug, etc. etc. that will let you link in to a photo.

DanaC · 08-10-2007, 04:13 PM

Is that what most of you are doing when you post pictures then?

For larger images or more than one in a post, I usually use my own hosting to host my pictures.

DanaC · 08-10-2007, 04:57 PM

ooohhhh. I prolly aught to set up something then.

It's important to note though that hotlinking, unless it's from a site specifically designed for hosting, is very rude because it makes the original site pay for the bandwidth. Many don't allow it.

DanaC, just be aware. Here's an example of a thread where I linked to photos through a Fotki account. I didn't realize that the account would be converted after a certain number of days. The files were moved and all the links broke. I spent hours setting up that thread. I haven't had time to find a new host, and I don't even know if the thread can be fixed.

Image shack is one of the better place for hosting your own. I use photobucket but my work filter will not let me see them or use it when at work. I can view Image shack pictures. Some of the others have used Flickr or PBase or one of the other sites that let you post complete albums. I don't know if that helps.

I've started using photobucket. I did try flickr initially but it's too rulesy. I also tried tinypics but couldn't figure their system out, they sue Photobucket so I followed a link and set up an account. So far, problem free.

Like I said before the biggest problem with photobucket is that a number of webservers block that site. So if you post a pic hosted from there on here, some will not be able to see it unless you look at it from a home computer.
