Hello,

 

Today I went to Imageshack as I wanted to upload a image of something and post it on a forum. They redesigned it and, IMO, it is kind of heavy but I guess you have to look modern...then I saw that I had "30 days left". No idea what they were talking about so I looked up in Wikipedia and saw that this month, they will no longer offer free uploading; All paid for.

Shame that a lot of images (on Neowin as well) will start to be broken because they went commercial. But hey, I guess they gotta make money.

Anyways, after that boring story, I was looking for a free image hosting site that allows direct links. I usually upload screenshots and such so I dont need a huge upload limit. Just like Imageshack used to be.

Thank you

Used to use ImageShack too, didn't know about them going paid only till just now, pity.  Been using DropBox as well (got 26.5GB, may as well use it), stupidly easy.. copy the image in via Explorer or whatever file manager, right click the image, "Copy public link", done. No clunky web sites to mess with.

For images I intend to post somewhere (like Neowin):

Imgur

...coupled with Imgur uploader (from https://imguruploader.codeplex.com/releases/view/40965 - it allows me to right click > Send To > Imgur)

...and Firefox Imgur uploader addon that (usually) allows me to upload to them directly, bypassing local storage and saving clicks

 

For images I do not intend to post somewhere (and other stuff):

Skydrive

...for which Public and Private are both added to Send To special folder

      RTD and Bad Wolf out Everybody lied, there was never a Christmas script done, even though they said there was RTD brought it back then killed it with the PC overload and garbage nonsensical stories Who knows what production company will want to drink from the poisoned chalice now. The squandered opportunity with the Disney partnership will go down in production folklore

      Problem with that is Vivaldi is the slowest chromium browser I have ever used. I keep trying it every few months in case performance has improved. ...and it's not due to specs or config. 5900x/32gigs/RTX3080 here, Win 11 25H2 etc.

      My only concern would be the state of the battery. I'd be getting one from a place you trust and perhaps has a decent warranty.

      Like yourself Steven P I have watched it from the days of William Hartnell, It was good when we had the Darlek's and the Cybermen. Sad to see one of the longest running shows in the world die a sad death.

      My problem with FF is I have to jump through hoops to get at least somewhat close to what Vivaldi gives me out of the box, with no real advantage that would make it worth my while. (But hey, apparently there's now at least experimental support for HDR in FF. I mean it's about a decade too late, but still...finally!) Brave I was never the least interested in, never saw the point, not to mention there's been quite a bit of drama surrounding them over the years. But I've been a faithful and very happy Opera user all the way back to 2001(ish), so once Vivaldi showed up following that awkward period of time after the key people left Opera and the company was sold, I never really looked back. And they never once made me question my choices.
