Does anyone else use this site? I put up a picture of my deer this year and it worked fine. However I cannot get back into it to update it. I can't load any new pictures. I've checked the BBS there and it seems that other people are having the same problem and there isn't anyone from the site giving answers.

Is this site just dying? Am I missing something? Does anyone know of another place to put up pictures?

I just got in and updated some things today. I have never had a problem with it.
My Hunting and Fishing Pages

I tried to use it and had nothing BUT trouble. Finally said screw it. They are too flakey for me.

I use www.imagestation.com

It is run by Sony, so I assume it will be around for a while.

I used two different ones in the past and they both had problems. I would not recommend Webshots.

Well, as usually happens with these things, I figured out what I was doing wrong 5 minutes after I posted.

BTW, if anyone is interested, here is my page: http://www.hunting-pictures.com/members/dune/jlh3.html

It's a little sparse at the moment, but I hope to have more to add soon

JL,

I have no problem accessing the web site, nor adding/deleting photos. Check the file suffixes of the pictures you are adding to make sure they are consistent.

George,

Unfortunately I am old enough to remember Betamax. I even remember Pong.

Betamax I have a vauge memory of, but please tell us youngsters what Pong is!

Just a tip from someone who's been jerked around over my images and where to store them on the Internet.

After having Yahoo claim copyright to MY images and other hassles with the free pic hosting sites I decided to get my own domain name and pay a small monthly fee so that my pics remain mine. I also don't wan't to shuffle my pics a around every 6 months when the free hosting places start hassling me, charging me or go out of business like what's their named did.

One web hosting company I can recommend that is fairly cheap in cost is AlphOmegaHosting. They have great website hosting and their customer service has been outstanding. They helped me move our old forum over and installed the new forum for me. Danny is the owner and he is a good guy. If you're looking for a small website for yourself to put pics on they have a great $4.95 month special which gives you 100 megs of storage and 5 gigs of transfer. If you need more room they have several other plans for bigger needs.

http://www.alphaomegahosting.com/

With your own domain name, your pic links will stay the same if you have to move to a new server and there won't be the little red Xs that indicate a broken pic link. With 100 megs of server space you can store a ton of pics, add a talk forum like this one, even add a chat or make a bunch of webpages too.

Geocities and many of the free webpage hosts no longer allow you to post your pics outside of Geocitie's domain, you'll just get a broken pic link (little box with red x), if you post Geocities pics here now.

HuntingPictures.com is another free pic hosting site but they stamp their name across the top of all your pics which is ridiculous. They are owned by a company that is a well known Internet spam company (Huntchat) so my recommendation is to boycott them and use someone else who doesn't need to mark up your pics with their advertising.

Bottom line, take control of YOUR pics and you'll never regret it while your friends struggle to male their free pic hosting site work.

Christer,

George's description is correct. I wish I still had it. Maybe I could sell it to the Smithsonian Museum.
