AI Thread Summary
A recommended site for uploading and linking photos is Hyperphoto, which offers 50MB of free storage with a maximum file size of 5MB and supports hotlinking. Users are discussing the differences between hotlinking and direct linking, with some expressing frustration over not being able to display images in forum posts due to board settings. Several users mention trying different image hosting services, including Greg's Imager and StarPhoto, but face challenges with remote linking and forum compatibility. Additionally, free software options for image editing, such as IrfanView and Ulead's Photo Explorer, are shared, along with links to free ebooks and tutorials. The conversation reflects a desire for more effective image hosting solutions and the exploration of available free resources.

A good site for uploading and linking photos. Allows 50MB for free, 5MB maximum file size and you can hot link to the files.

Software for cropping, sizing, viewing and editing images. Also free.

Hey everyone, it might be .gif time again soon!
[edit]
Or not!
What is the difference between hot linking and direct linking? I'd like for the image itself to show in my posts. Maybe this service will not do this?

Heheh...everybody loved your pictures from pf2...Work At Home Moms (WAHM) web hosting site also allows for remote-linking...not 50 megs of free space though, thanks Tyger!

EDIT: Just realized I was in the astronomy forum...this doesn't seem to fit, but hey, thanks anyways:wink:
 
I tried too

but I think is has to do with board settings and not the image URLs. I think Admin has to approve them.

The box at the bottom says code is ON/OFF...maybe you have to be special to get it on in other boards:smile:

OH...yeah, the link provided doesn't allow for remote linking in PF form...you could try http://starphoto.starblvd.net/ if you wanted, I hear it has remote linking.

Well, I tried some more too

and couldn't get the images to come up. I can for a regular HTML page, but I know that some forums don't link to asp's (active server pages) so that may be the problem. neither the [ img ] or img src code work, it always converts to the URL. I noticed that Gregs imager has the img src code, by looking at the source code for the page.

there was a site that gives you 500 m.b space for free it was www.zden.com but it is no more working

That because the forum converts the tags to html tags during the server processing.

I'll go sign up at the post kyle_soule gave us and see if it will work over there.

Oh, and as for useful links, well, I like the free stuff
Ulead is giving stuff away and their photo explorer is pretty good;

For freebie ebooks;

Freebie tutorials;

If anyone knows a site where I can transmute some binary data streams into gold, would you kindly shoot me a link!

Nope, StarPhoto won't work either,:frown:


It's looking like to get what I want I'll have to shell out some wampum


[edit]
I deleted my earlier posts because I felt they were nothing but a waste of space in this otherwise pretty niffy thread...
...More Freebies anyone?
