Pict.com

If any of you use this image hosting I would not bother anymore.......

You now have to sign up and become a member before you can use it and you only get to store 20 free pics before you get the message.......

"You have reached your free limit please upgrade to a premium user"

Now before you could delete your pics and start again adding more free ones with no worries now as soon as you delete your pics to make way for new ones you will get......

A big red cross on a white background with a message written in black that says "Sorry this image has been removed by the owner" where you had them posted!

Of course its OK if you have these 20 pics backed up you can re post them if you have not then you are buggered!

Basically they have decided to screw you over for cash!

Premium usuers =

$4.99 per month

$29.99 per year



I won't be using them any longer, just though you would all like to know the above!

Just come across that message when l tried to use it so l guess l will have to start using imagechunk instead! unless you guys know of a better free image hoster.

None that I know of. They all have faults.

Just make sure if you use Imagechunk, that you don't plan to post links to your images elsewhere. IC provides this forum with 'special' treatment. In my experience, when I've posted links to images hosted at IC on other forums, they're displayed at a vastly reduced size (I presume in order to reduce bandwidth consumption). This is the case for both hotlinked images and those displayed on the IC site.

I would not say its any better but I have been using this one for many years now until I started using imagechunk & Pict.com......its never let me down.

If you let me know what other sites you post on I can provide special treatment for those,
