Warning, Tinypic is going away !!!

[David Paule]

I have a free Imgur.com account that seems to work well. I use it for my VAF build log. I didn't at first, but more recently, I am. For a long time, I used Tinypic.

Other decent and free services are postimage.org and halie.com. The last one is owned by a member of VAF. I use one of them to also host my photos. Lately, each post in the blog has pictures you can see on Imgur and links to the same photos at one of the alternate sites.

So there are other alternatives. And you know what? They don't have the pop-up ads that Tinypic used to subject me to. Leaving was an improvement.

Morning gang,

'Free' picture hosting sites eventually go away - you get what you pay for. I'm surprised Tinypic lasted as long as it did.

Please give http://www.vansairforce.net/articles...ums/images.htm a read if you haven't. Just so you know, I pay to host unlimited images on SmugMug (my pics). I also pay Google $20/yr to host a few GB of images as a backup. I also keep an external 1TB drive on my PC with backups.

Because technology life cycle happens...

I'm closing the thread now. Recapping, 'free' sites are never free.
