    I still don't understand why to go through all the trouble with those sites. I just take a pic and either save to the phone or email. With the scope I save it straight to the computer. Then I write my post and use attachments. If you don't want to save to the computer just leave it in your emails. If the hard drive ever crashes it's still in your email.

    Not sure either, but it could be because photo files can be so large and it takes up so much space on your computer but I would get several flash drives and save them that way I think. Also, some of those photo web hosting sites get a lot of traffic so if someone is trying to get internet exposure, that would help get the photos seen.

    I am going through all of our main home, site pages and eliminating any links to images hosted on outside servers. This is an issue that will only continue to happen and potentially get worse as these image hosting sites change their terms of service and usage with the result of sites like ours showing broken links messages. Members are free to use whatever outside services they prefer within posts, but for our information pages we need to keep them on the server itself and available in the future without interruption. If anyone sees additional broken links on lincolncentforum.com that I have missed please shoot me a PM or post them here so they can be adjusted.

    Will as I mentioned before if there are updates to the glossary or any other pages send them to me and I will make any needed adjustments. Thanks.

    The reason people used them was that for a decade or more those sites said you had tons of or unlimited free storage and allowed you to post on forums. Similar to making the same assumptions with free email, they say you have tons of free storage but someday they could cut it way back unless you pay. I will not be surprised, most "free" emails are already splitting features so the free versions have less features.

    The best bet is keep your stuff on a flash drive or something and use the forum server to post.

    You are correct on that... I have a separate storage drive that I hook up from time to time... I load all my keepable files onto it!!!
