Rene Take your pick. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Image+post...ffsb&ia=images Yeah, I did that too but it didn't really answer my question. Rene I use this one, but if you go over 1024x768, they reduce the resolution of your picture, ruining it. http://postimage.org/index.php?um=flash Some of them, require setting up an account. Whereas the one I use, requires no account. I try to use GIF format for non-art type pictures, to reduce waste bytes. If you want to post a picture of Mona Lisa, that's probably best in JPG or PNG. ******* These sites don't last forever. Imageshack, threw away all my pictures. They are a Facebook monkey now. You sign into the site with your Facebook account, to use the site. Photobucket, decided to use a pay model for bandwidth. All the user photos were replaced with a dialog suggesting the usage of a paid account for continued service. Tinypic, was borderline adware at one point, and I only visit there now using a Linux VM. So if someone posts a Tinypic, I don't use Windows for those. That's the nice thing about web/cloud - nothing lasts forever. Paul |

I remember using ImageShack but don't remember why I moved to Imgur. I probably didn't like having to log into ImageShack to use them. If I'm uploading pics to share with everyone, I don't want to bother logging in. My private photos stay in non-public folders in my Google Photos and OneDrive accounts. I'd rather not have a bunch of strangers pinging my Google or Microsoft accounts to get at the public/shared folders so I upload the public pics to a free non-registered online photo service. I've seen users put photos in their local Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive folders that then get synchronized to their online account. They can then dole out a URL to the uploaded photo provided permissions are public/shared on the folder where the photo got stored. Remember that you are sharing your uploaded pic with EVERYONE. Edit the pic to obliterate any personal info BEFORE uploading it. If it has metadata, you might want to delete that, too. |

| What would be a good easy to use Image posting Site, mostly for | screenshots for the Newsgroups? | I keep a list because I don't want to enable script or cookies, or sign up for an account. If an image is posted it should be accessible like a webpage, with no funny business. Sites I've had no problem with: ----------------------------------- dropboxusercontent * imgur postimg.org pictr.com uploads.im * Dropbox is an oddball. Some links work. Some don't. People often don't seem to know how to use it. I've never had a Dropbox account, but I deal with a lot of links. In general it seems it's the "dropboxusercontent" links that actually work. There's another type of Dropbox link that ends with "dl=0". dl stands for download. I'm blocked until I change it to dl=1. Then I still can't see the image but I can download it. I'm not sure it's really a Dropbox problem so much as a problem of Dropbox trying to offer a variety of privacy settings but just making a mess of the whole thing. I shouldn't have to know about changing dl=0 to dl=1. The person posting the image shouldn't even be able to create a link that blocks download and shouldn't have to read a manual just to figure out how to post a link. It makes no sense. ---------------------------------- Sites with funny business that don't allow linking directly to the image: photobucket.com tinypic.com flickr.com --------------------------------- There was an interesting site this week in the signs thread: fileconvoy.com It's a file hosting site. I don't know any details, but it allowed me to download a file from the linked page with no funny business. Just a clear link that worked. |

If it has metadata, you might want to delete that, too. Unless your camera is GPS tagging what metadata do you think shouldn't be shared? Camera model? Lens focal length? Even my Galaxy NX camera/tablet doesn't cram in anything I'd give a crap about anyone knowing. I just convert to GIF to clean things up :-) That's for "low color" photos, like screenshots of a vanilla desktop. Some image formats are less laden with metadata than others. Paul |
