got a pic to post?

 

There is a free site where you can lodge a picture file (jpeg, gif, etc.)
and then in your post refer to that picture by a conveniently short URL.

There is no sign-in, no registration, etc., the pic is available to all
and sundry. This method is a lot more efficient than posting a binary to
any newsgroup.

Give it a try. The picture can be any size, it doesn't have to be
tiny---it's the URL that is tiny, not the picture.

The picture doesn't expire, it will stay there forever, sort of.

Having said that, I haven't managed to get it to work. Would someone
else like to try?

G'day John

I just tried after I read your post and while it was very slow to load
the photo it worked for me.  Have a look here, must admit I could have
chosen a better shot of the spider but it was mainly for testing purposes.

I tried John and It worked, however, some of those photos
are decidedly questionable!

You posted a pic there?

If it works then it should be useful for this group, but I am not
responsible for what gets posted. No photos display when I go there,
so I can only conclude you must have gone looking for them!  ;-)

Actually, I'm using flikr:

http://www.flickr.com/

I think you can go in without being signed in, but if you do sign in
(it's free), you can choose whose photographs you want to see, and are
notified when there are new postings by that person etc.

You can also add a fair bit of text to go with the photo, and people
can leave comments.

Once you have posted a picture you can get the url, and post it like
this:

I mainky use it with my blog, but it may be what you are looking for

You can also form groups etc
