I use Flickr for my non-car photos. They even host RAW images. Been happy so far.

I went through this several years ago with Webshots. I had many pictures of rear end parts that I used to help people figure out what parts they had, what the gear pattern should look like, what broken parts look like and other things. I had pictures linked to thousands of posts, but now none of those pictures are there. Webshots was free, but then they got greedy and started charging for their services. I wasn't going to pay for it, so now all of my links are blank.

Thanks for your posting, the days of free image hosting may be short lived. According to Photobucket's press release, advertising revenues are no longer sufficient to support the cost of their free hosting infrastructure and service. This realty may find its way through to the other image hosting providers who rely on advertising alone. I was quite willing to pay a fee for reliable, robust and secure image hosting, maybe in the range of $50-$100/year however when Photobucket changed their terms from free to unlimited image hosting and storage to a $400/year subscription (and nothing in-between), it became uneconomic.

I can't imagine who is stepping up for the $400 a year subscription. Especially when it was a sneak attack with no notice. What do people use photo hosting for if its not "3rd party" hosting?

What would it take for THIS site's software or server to be able to accept pics
directly from a member's PC with no 3rd party hosting...........

This is what nastyz28 now has and its so very easy to insert pics along with your text.

That is already in place via the onsite attachment function.

Thank You Jason......I will have to try that soon !!!

So if people can post directly from their computer files directly, why all the
continued concern about 3rd party hosting sites ???

Because of all the historic threads that can't be edited to reload replacement photos. If someone could figure out a way to allow editing those, it would solve the problem. My old Firebird threads here are all useless now.

'

All appears like one of the few good features of the new system is you can go back & edit historic threads not editable w/ the old system?
Pick a really old one and try it!

Steve,

Would reposting the photos to your old threads take a very long time? You are talking about 100s of posts.
