I have an idea, you could do what I did, and get a FREE phone, from Assurance Wireless and the CA Lifeline Program, I ported My phone number to the phone, it works, saved Me $30.00 a month, and best of all, no more phone bill.

I do all My new hosting on FB now.

However:
DO NOT trust any of them to be "free for ever".
DO NOT trust any of them as your main means of photo storage.

Over the years a significant number of free "services" have vanished, or have started to charge.

While Facebook may be free, it does have some significant restrictions on viewing if one is not a subscriber, and I wouldn't be too surprised to see it start to charge for "heavy users" in the near future. Also Facebook is a "favourite" to be blocked by corporate thought Po-Lice.

Thanks, but I already have a cell phone that my dad pays for right now. My Vonage Home Phone IS my Lifeline. I'm able to call Land Lines in 60+ countries for FREE. (Well, included in the Annual Bill...) Less than $400 a YEAR for my Vonage, ALL Taxes and Fees included. Broken down, that's $33.33 a month for UNLIMITED calling. I'll stick with Vonage. (...AND, in the US, I also can call all cell phones.) VM to e-Mail translation, Call Forwarding, Anonymous Call Block, Permanent Call Block up to 50 Numbers, Simulring - which I make use of for Nomorobo to block Telemarketers, Sales Crap Calls and Scammers. Plus, two free "extension points" which allow me to assign two cell phones to my account. The Extensions can then make use of a US Access Number, then can call ALL the foreign countries my Vonage Line can call - for FREE. I've assigned my best friend's Home Phone, and his wife's Cell Phone to both my Extension points. This allows them to call Belgium Land Lines, and India Land Lines for the price, (if any), of the Access Point Number call. If you have Unlimited Nationwide Calling, (which he does), then even the US Access Point Number call is free.

So, as you can see, Vonage is the way to go for me. A "Free" cell phone doesn't give me any of the above features, nor benefits. So, with Vonage, my existing cell phone is made available to ONLY my family and friends, and is ONLY used when I'm in the car, or for emergencies. Most of the time my cell phone is powered off.

From that list, it looks like I'm going to try Imgur, next. Thanks Rob. :-)

[EDIT:]

Well, for some reason, Imgur DOES NOT like my images. I upload the images and ALL I GET is "Image Removed from Album"... These Images are FREE from the Web, and I've had them in Photobucket for YEARS!!!

So, I guess I won't be posting images here anymore... :-(


TL

[EDIT 2:]

Well, Take 2:

Got it working now. Here's a test:

Doctor WHO .gif with my face.

I don't know what the initial problem was with Imgur; but, all fixed now. I will be busy Uploading my Photobucket stuff to Imgur, now.

I've made my Imgur Account "Private", so it's NOT allowing me "IMG" Links; just URL DIrect Links. Maybe I'll change this later...

Another Test:

Jelly Babies.

When I post a pic to FB, I put them in an album w/some text, which amounts to a post on My FB page, then I can post here, using FB as cover.

I can post the big images, or the smaller ones, both work, though HTTPS has to become HTTP instead, and one needs to know what to look for in View Image Info in FF.

I had to used tinyurl to get a FB pic to work here, since the address is huge...

Cant get this to work like PB.

Let's try

Well, all my Photobucket stuff is now on Imgur. Let's hope they DON'T follow the footsteps of Photobucket.

Shame that "Hidden" Account Files on Imgur are limited to URL Links, and NOT allowing direct IMG Links... However; since I'm NOT quite sure of Imgur's "Copyright" policies, I don't want my newly Uploaded images auto-deleted like Photobucket did with my short B-5 Videos... I think I'll suffer through posting URL Links, for now.

I drilled through to the raw image - no page, no frame, no advertising.

Look at http://i.imgur.com/JVguOlJ.jpg

HeHE!!

EDIT : Hi TL Find the image or gif you want to link to at imgur, for example K9 above and right click on the image, left click "copy image location" , paste this into your setipost and then add the BB code img tags. :-)

Anyone care for a Jelly Baby???




TL

EDIT: Monday, did as you said, and in Preview here at SETI I get a Broken Link...

However; with the URL Tags:

Jelly Babies.

This Link WORKS!!! :-)

So, I CANNOT, and WILL NOT rely on IMG Tags EVER working 100% with Imgur while my Account there is set to Hidden/Private... If people here want to see what I'm posting, they'll have to click the Link from now on.
