Posting pictures

Here's a cool way to post pictures to your forum listings without using any space on POA's servers, or having your own web server. An RV builder site I frequent has this same forum software, and here's how they suggest you do it:

Note the updated comment at the bottom of the page. You can use this method not only for this site, but if you want to send somebody (via email, for example) an email with a link to a picture you have on your home computer.

This also saves POA the expense of keeping enough disk space (and BANDWIDTH) to serve up the pictures.

I use Photobucket, and it also generates the IMG tags for vBulletin for you. Very handy.

There's a new service from CNET called allyoucanupload: http://allyoucanupload.webshots.com/

It's supposed to have no ads, no bandwidth limits, and no cr*p.

I haven't used it yet.

Is it free? What's their business model? Or is it just another latecomer to the dotcom bust?

It's CNet. They have an established revenue stream from news.com et. al.

This site offers a premium subscription option to get a few more features. Other than that, it's free, lite, and good. It's not like you couldn't switch if it got obnoxius.
