Image Shack now paid

[Yob]

I wondered why the image in my sig had dropped off, a little bit of investigation showed that they have stopped allowing linking to the images unless you give them US$4 a month..

Im tipping many threads here will now be missing a lot of images, I know NickJD was fond of that (he rage deleted his account anyway but same result now)

So anyway, Im sure there are other hosts out there nad I'd do it directly here if I could ever work out how to link from my gallery images

I used to use Photobucket for most of my forum postings but it's horribly slow and now it "parses" your URL / link to give everyone full access to your galleries. You can un-parse each link easily but by the time I've frigged about I found it just as easy to use paint.net to crop and resize my own images and just upload them to the forum.

Some forums won't let you link to the likes of PB or Image Shack, or even YouTube due to the broken links problem, not to mention what you could actually be linking to, (remember Porkspin?) and only let you directly upload images, which makes sense.
