Thanks Mr Spider. I'd suggest that using a photo posting site such as
Flickr or Photobucket (and there are loads of others which other
posters will probably recommend) is better - we tend to ignore "click
to download" links because we never know what we will end up
downloading.

Yes I'm sorry about that Jake. I was already 'in' that site for another
purpose so it was easiest at the time to push that picture the same way.
If there is a next time I'll use Photobucket.

Why? I had been looking at numerous photosharing sites and rejected
them all because of their sign-up requirements or lack of copyright
clarity. And I don't want to give them my email address (I guess I
could use a disposable one, but not all are accepted) as I don't want
endless spam. So I couldn't believe my luck when I came across your
link. Add to that the fact that myfreefilehosting also allows other
type of file to be uploaded. And no email address of any sort required.


I use myfreefilehosting for the very reasons you mention.

But when unloading a picture with a request for help, it seems only
reasonable to use a site that is familiar and convenient to the people I'm
hoping will see the picture and respond.

If Photobucket is accepted by the very helpful posters here, I will use
it. Copyright isn't an issue, and I've used Photobucket before without
giving my real email.
