Man, I was gonna do my best not to bring up gunsnet in any of my posts. Then I just noticed they are not letting you copy posted pictures now. When you do a save as you get a message "No copying without permissions of Gunsnet".

I really really need to find a place to host my pics so that I can get them off of gunsnets server.


(edit)
FYI, they appear to have disabled this feature already.

Yeah, turns out they didn't realize there are several ways to copy content. The members all jumped in and set them straight on it. They had disabled teh right click function of the board. Then they put it back when they realized they couldn't stop anyone from copying content.

Maybe they could make it a paid for option along with everything else.

Another reason I quit moding when he made it pay per view.

Do you get a free Homepage with your internet service.. If so set that up and use it to host pictures, that is what I do...my example below!

Exactly! And you don't even have to have it setup like a page to store files on it. Most ISP's have instructions on how to set it up and put files in it.

I have 2 sites like that.

Thanks for the tip. I have Charter as my ISP. I went to thier homepage but I cannot get 'my webpage' info unless I have my account number. I will either wait for the next bill or if I get board enough, give them a call. My one hesitation is that I may be relocating in the next few months.
