I emailed webshots last week to find out if the problem with linking my/our pics was a server problem or a maintanence prob. Yhis is what I received today

[i]Our policies have recently changed with regard to linking directly to an
image within a Community album.

It is now not possible to link directly to an image within a Community album
so that the image appears on a website other than Webshots.

Also, you may not post a link to the image's location on our servers

You can, however, post a link to the image as it appears within your
Community album[/i]

Every pay ISP gives you a webspace for free. You may use that to host your pics.

Ive already got two more for back-up, learned the hard way when Photopoint went south. I now have more than one option available just in case

Guess Ill go pull the plug on Webshite and find another to replace it as another back-up

Hey thanks! Did it actually show up for you?
Anyway, yes it is a DPMS upper and lower. I hade Compass Lake make me the barrel, while a local gun shop here in S.C. did the paint job for me.

Any ideas for image hosters anybody?

Well, for the guys with Team memberships here, let me know what I can do to make it easier and better for you to host your pics. I don't think linking them all over the net is the best use of BW, but until it becomes a "large" problem, I am not going to prevent it.

Sharing is part of the fun!

Ooh and one of the projects on my list is to move all the picture hosting tools to another server so that the site's not taxed with uploading and linking... not a major addition, but something which will help out overall.

Screw Webshots. I have started moving all my stuff over to [url]www.Hunting-pictures.com[/url].

Goatboy.....I know I have space available here but I have a bunch of stuff and at times my web site gets shut down due to so much traffic. I don't want to causing you any kind of server problems cause of all my "stuff".
