the links you gave had pics on auger mount and a error code 503 on the other.

seems like they need to add servers. probably worse at prime times.

Images uploaded by both anonymous uploads and free accounts are limited to 12Mb and 10k x 10k pixels.

How many images can I upload in general?
As many as you like!

Post by: 3300 on Jan 14, 2020, 08:50 AM: can't you log-in and download your pics and re-up them using post image? they have an app for windows i like to use. i haven't logged in for a long time with them, but i could get them if i wanted.

Post by: slipperybob on Jan 15, 2020, 07:11 AM: Yes I logged in...but can't even get to my photos unless I give them a credit card number. Why do I need to give them that, when it was free hosting? It's just how the photos were organized and how they were linked up to different posts. Maybe someday, I will update again with photos. I'm not a photo type of person anyways.
