Imagestation and EzBoards???

[DocRafiki]

Why is it that when I post an Imagestation pic on my EzBoard, it will show up for two days, have a red X for two days, show up for two days, etc? I've noticed the code actually changes every 2 days, somehow! Now, I've seen people post Imagestation pics on here with no problem, or else I would think it was something Imagestation does to keep people from linking. What is up with that, and can I get around it???

Maybe you are exceeding bandwidth? I gave up on free image hosting and bought my own webspace. There are some affordable hosts out there if you check around. Doteasy.com gives 20 megs of webspace and a domain name for about $25 US a year. I use another host and they have unlimited bandwidth but it does cost more.

Not sure of that one, Doc. You might look at www.worldzone.net. I know quite a number of DIS'ers use that, me included. You can get 100 meg space and linking ability for $12 per year. I have two of those accounts plus a 'pro' account, for higher bandwidth use, at $9 per month. With no more pictures of consequence to be posted here, I may cut back or out of the 'pro' account though.

Dan, that makes me so sad that we won't see Dan Murphy picture posts anymore.

I'll second that, I always looked forward to Dan's picture posts from his trips to WDW or DIS meets.

Coming in late to the discussion...but why wouldn't Dan be able to link his pictures here? Couldn't people view his WONDERFUL photos that way?


And DocRafiki, I enjoy boomspeed for image hosting. I think what happens at imagestation is that the have frequent downtimes for whatever reason. That's when those fun red X's start showing up.

I believe Boomspeed is done offering free accounts but it's still a cheap and very easy to use system for hosting images.

Dan,
You can still post 8 images per post. I don't really understand why that would preclude posting any more "pictures of consequence."

I think because it makes it a real pain to post a bunch of pictures when you have to jump through hoops to post them. I'm sure Dan will answer for himself, but I think it's just frustration with all the different rules that you have to follow to figure out where/how they go...

Thanks for the other site ideas, everyone. I will bookmark this page and look into them.
