LaParkaYourCar Posted January 24, 2003 Report Posted January 24, 2003 I just logged on to Ranchoweb and now uploading pics is only for paying members. Where's another good image hosting place that will give me a url that I can use on the board?
Guest papacita Posted January 24, 2003 Report Posted January 24, 2003 I'm gonna go out on a limb and blame THE ECONOMY for this bullshit. I guess I need a new host too, cuz there's no way I'm paying for 1mb of space. And couldn't they give us notice before they put this policy into place??? SHIT! /bitching
Guest The Electrifyer Posted January 24, 2003 Report Posted January 24, 2003 If this works, try www.webphotos.com
LaParkaYourCar Posted January 24, 2003 Author Report Posted January 24, 2003 Neither of those are giving me url's that I can use for my sig pic. Ranchoweb was the only free one that gave me good url's that I found.
Guest Kotzenjunge Posted January 24, 2003 Report Posted January 24, 2003 You can still access what you had already, right?
Guest papacita Posted January 24, 2003 Report Posted January 24, 2003 Yeah, you just can't upload new stuff.
LaParkaYourCar Posted January 24, 2003 Author Report Posted January 24, 2003 Note to SpiderPoet: Boomspeed is not accepting any new members to their site. So it's a no go on that one. Man this pisses me off.
Guest SP-1 Posted January 24, 2003 Report Posted January 24, 2003 Those jerks. Oh well, as long as they don't cut ME off from uploading at Boomspeed.
LaParkaYourCar Posted January 24, 2003 Author Report Posted January 24, 2003 They said it was due to the high traffic and people misusing their accounts.
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted January 24, 2003 Report Posted January 24, 2003 In 30 days everything gets deleted..I suspect a deluge of rexes (red x) when that happens.. Well..I saved the guy the trouble and deleted my stuff for him. Now he won't have any business.. *points and laughs* Hmm..I noticed a totalfark page that said fark was doing free webhosting..probably for their photoshops.. HMMMMMM...
Guest SP-1 Posted January 24, 2003 Report Posted January 24, 2003 I would suspect it is time for a hunt for a new hosting service, then.
Chunk Posted January 24, 2003 Report Posted January 24, 2003 Doesn't your ISP give you free webspace? I get free webspace, but I guess thats the least they can do for not makind ADSL available in my area. Also, we have to pay £20 a month I think. That might be more than you have to pay in other countries. ChUnK!
Guest The Electrifyer Posted January 24, 2003 Report Posted January 24, 2003 Sweet, I figured out my ISP gives me 10 mb of free storage per account I make. In total, I have the maxumum, which is 7 accounts, so I have 70 mb of free storage which hopefully allows me link to them from another site. If this works, I'll upload pics for you guys too.
Guest The Electrifyer Posted January 24, 2003 Report Posted January 24, 2003 Yay, it worked... I can use my ISP to upload pics. If you guys need, e-mail me your pictures: [email protected] and I'll upload them to my ISP for you. EDIT: Shit, I screw up the first time I posted my e-mail. It should be [email protected], not @hotmail.com. So if you've e-mailed me @hotmail.com, do it again, but to [email protected]. Sorry.
Chunk Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 Sweet, I'm not sure if my post gave you the idea of checking your ISP, but im glad you sorted out your problem. 70mb is pretty generous of them aswell. ChUnK!
Patty O'Green Posted January 25, 2003 Report Posted January 25, 2003 Try going to , http://www.villagephotos.com
LaParkaYourCar Posted January 28, 2003 Author Report Posted January 28, 2003 When I use villagephotos my pic disappears within hours from my sig. Seriously it stays on screen for awhile then stops showing up.......no red X.......just nothing. The pic is still uploaded at village photos....it just doesn't show up here. Ranchoweb was the only one I found that worked properly for the board.
Patty O'Green Posted January 28, 2003 Report Posted January 28, 2003 That's odd that villagephotos isn't working for you. My avatar is hosted with them. Well, I'll try looking for some more sites and I'll post them later.
LaParkaYourCar Posted January 28, 2003 Author Report Posted January 28, 2003 After I upload my pic to villagephotos they have a bunch of url's to use.......which one do I use for this board?
Guest Midnight Express83 Posted January 28, 2003 Report Posted January 28, 2003 http://www.netfirms.com: Its Free Its easy to use. It can work off of Frontpage.

Ranchoweb was the only one I found that worked properly for the board. Probably exceeded your bandwidth. You only get 5MB/day, so once that is exceeded, your pics don't show up. It was happening to me yesterday, too.
Patty O'Green Posted January 29, 2003 Report Posted January 29, 2003 After I upload my pic to villagephotos they have a bunch of url's to use.......which one do I use for this board? Use the url that looks like this: http://image1ex.villagephotos.com/"pi...cture".jpg In place of "picture" there will usually be a series of numbers

It was happening to me yesterday, too. I have two pics on there.....neither above 100k. I'm using that url, but it disappears from the forum.
Guest T®ITEC Posted January 30, 2003 Report Posted January 30, 2003 http://www.netfirms.com: Its Free Its easy to use. It can work off of Frontpage. Why is NetFirms asking me for contact & shipping information?
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Posted January 30, 2003 Report Posted January 30, 2003 I switched to imagestation.com after ranchoweb went down. If you can see my pictures, then it works, and it's free.
LaParkaYourCar Posted February 3, 2003 Author Report Posted February 3, 2003 Okay I'm using Imagestation now and it's good so far...........except the url's are too long for the avatar url box here on the forum.
Guest Spaceman Spiff Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 I may just stick w/ Ranchoweb. $10 for an entire year isn't a bad deal.
Ultimo Dugas Posted February 3, 2003 Report Posted February 3, 2003 I use http://www.imagemagician.com. Works fine for me.
LaParkaYourCar Posted February 4, 2003 Author Report Posted February 4, 2003 I may just stick w/ Ranchoweb. $10 for an entire year isn't a bad deal. why spend $10 when I can get it for free? I already have $50,000 in school loans to pay off and $3,500 credit card balance to pay off.

I already have $50,000 in school loans to pay off and $3,500 credit card balance to pay off. 50,000!!! Holy crap, thats a lot. My degree is costing me about £1,100 a year (that is if they dont put it up). I heard that education cost more on your side of the pond, but still. 50,000" I feel for you mate. ChUnK!
