I have been using postimage.org, free, links fine, no ads or spam.
I'm not 100% sure how PB monitor your use but reading something earlier it may be that if you copy the IMG tab to get your link it will pick that up. If you copy the direct link and use the forum to give the IMG and paste your link between the two it may not register the use.
One poster on the "Model Engineer" site has suggested Postimage, I'v looked at it briefly, and must have another look.Ian S C
It is not affecting all users at the moment but no doubt will over time.I'm not 100% sure how PB monitor your use but reading something earlier it may be that if you copy the IMG tab to get your link it will pick that up.

So, why are you guys NOT interested in using the hosting method that Ade has provided? It works quite well and is very fast. And you have been assured that you maintain the rights to your own images.
As I use my images on several forums I would either have to load them onto each one or feel guilty about using someone elses space to host what I'm using on other forums which would happen if I copied and pasted a post made here onto another forum as I do now.

So far this month, we've used 52GB (that includes other stuff, not just MEM). I really don't have a problem with you using the LEF Coppermine gallery & putting your pictures in other forums - even HMEM if you want.Cheers!Ade.
from what I understand about Postimage, if you pay for your site, the photos stay untouched for ever, the free site, if your photos are not used within 6 months they will be dropped (so look in every now and then, and maybe post on more than one site.I don't have a problem with free PB at the moment as I only have about 20 photos up to go on another site, and my photos are still there (touch wood).Ian S C
After saying a couple of days ago I was having no probs with PB I've now had an email saying they will discontinue host my images for 3rd party users unless I subscribe, I'd happily pay a small fee but to host a handful of new images each month I can't justify paying a lot Does anyone know if my old images will be affected or just new ones ?Looks like the way forward is to try Coppermine Peter.
Kim,Sorry you misunderstood me, or I was not clear. When I go to the coppermine.sourceforge.net website I download a zip file titled, cpg1.5.46zip. Which when I double click on it opens cpg15x and double clicking on that gives me an index with files starting with, albums then bridge, about 20 or so .php files interspersed with .txt files ending with zipdownload.php nothing is installed. needless to say I didn't get far in the tutorial cause I had to start over every time I left it. I use SeaMonkey as my browser but Chrome or IE don't make any difference. If I could even get to the point where your explanation starts I'm sure it would be self explanatory. Am I downloading the wrong file? If so what should It be titled. I never had so much trouble and can usually figure it out but this defies logic.On use.com this is the best I can accomplish.[/URL][/CENTER][/img]Don't even get me started on the tutorial for internet explorer that you cant pause while you try to figure out how to do something in a program I don't use.This is the only way I can get it to point to any image. What the am I doing wrong. Art
