I used photopoint for years, but now they are a pay site, and even if you stay below there 10 picture limit for free use, they are now blocking folks from linking pictures.

photos.yahoo.com is still free, but there seems to be some problems with linking to pictures on their site from s2ki.

Zing is defunct.

Suggestions for a free photo hosting site that allows linking to pictures from S2Ki??

Or do I just break down and pay photopoint!

 

It is possible that you may still use PhotoPoint to link to pictures. Get the picture up in PhotoPoint, click the "link to this picture" and then copy the link that comes up in the pop-up window. Here is the tricky part. When you paste the link into a bracket img fully qualified url slash img close bracket, append .jpg on the end of the link that PhotoPoint supplied. It should work.

As of today, I get a message "Sorry, only paying members can link photos to other websites".

It had always worked previously...

 

Ouch! Sorry about that. msn.com has a free photo site, but I have only been able to link to very small preview pictures there. This may be all you need if you are planning upon using the photo in a sig. In fact, it is better than PhotoPoint for that use since it does not put the annoying PhotoPoint ad above the picture. On the board where I do most of my posting, Spyderchat.com, I use the msn site to hold my sig photo and PhotoPoint for the rest. I ponied up the fee for PhotoPoint when Zing went into the bit bucket.

 

clubphoto.com is the host I use now, at least they don't charge a penny to me..!!

 

My photopoint still seems to work from time to time.

 

Do you have more than 10 pics in the account??
and.... do they still let you have the link from other site??
well!! you'd better check that out... cuz, it doesn't sound right..!!

 

If you have the right kind of computer , you can have 20MB free space, and free real (POP or IMAP) email at mac.com
