A photo or media hosting website is like Gmail, or Imageshack. Why don't just click on the frog? Or are you new here?

Cheers!

Aye, cos hosting everyone's images on the forum server would cost a furtune, take it from me!

Thanks for endeavouring with us though!

Hi Roger and welcome to AoS. I think it might be a good idea to take a deep breath, count to ten, and begin again. You will discover that we are a very friendly lot here on AoS, although we do occasionally engage in vigorous debates on various subjects. Even so, we try to stay on the right side of polite because getting frustrated and angry with someone on a forum is never a good idea. ;)

The reason we use image hosting sites is down to convenience. I find Photobucket to be the easiest to use, although others have their preferences too. Photobucket offers free accounts, or for a very modest monthly fee you can grab an ad free account with more functionality. If you are having difficulties displaying your images on the forum via PB or another web hosting site please don't hesitate to ask for advice :)

That is a lovely system you have there so displaying it in the gallery via an image hosting site of your choosing would do it justice. :cool:

It is common to find that forum's require images to be hosted from another site (standard, in fact) and then linked to. If [img] code is used, it is often possible to set your personal settings to show the address, rather than the actual picture, if your Internet connection is not of sufficient quality. It is also possible to create links that go directly to your pictures (without actually showing them).
