got a pic to post?
There is a free site where you can lodge a picture file (jpeg, gif, etc.)
and then in your post refer to that picture by a conveniently short URL. There is no sign-in, no registration, etc., the pic is available to all and sundry. This method is a lot more efficient than posting a binary to any newsgroup. Give it a try. The picture can be any size, it doesn't have to be tiny---it's the URL that is tiny, not the picture. http://tinypic.com The picture doesn't expire, it will stay there forever, sort of. Having said that, I haven't managed to get it to work. Would someone else like to try? -- John Savage (my news address is not valid for email) |
G'day John
I just tried after I read your post and while it was very slow to load the photo it worked for me. Have a look here, must admit I could have chosen a better shot of the spider but it was mainly for testing purposes. http://tinypic.com/4j6b1s Bronwyn ;-) John Savage wrote: There is a free site where you can lodge a picture file (jpeg, gif, etc.) and then in your post refer to that picture by a conveniently short URL.

If it works then it should be useful for this group, but I am not responsible for what gets posted. No photos display when I go there, so I can only conclude you must have gone looking for them! ;-) -- John Savage (my news address is not valid for email) |
