Title: Slightly OT: Image hosting site that allows direct linking?
Post by: Howard_Casto on July 22, 2014, 05:25:28 pm

So you might have noticed my footer is dead on all my replies.  Imageshack, the last hold-out has now blocked direct linking to images. 

Are there any free alternatives out there?  What do you guys use to display your footers?

Why not just slip it in on the projects pictures thread? Thats what I did when I had a sig picture.

Yeah I signed up for imgur, thanks.  Man this is weird.  Not only did they disable direct linking, but it appears that they outright deleted my footer!  I hope I have a backup somewhere

One little banner in the picture hosting thread isn't going to make any difference among the piles of oversized pictures.
