OT: Stop using ImageShack - they're going pay only - labradors - 02-11-2014 Just noticed that ImageShack has switched to a pay-only site. Aside from a one-month "trial period," you can only upload images to ImageShack if you have a "Premium" (i.e. paid) account. Thus, I shall no longer be recommending ImageShack. Over the next couple of days, I'll be testing a number of other sites to find one I can recommend. Stay tuned. Re: OT: Stop using ImageShack - they're going pay only - Harborwitch - 02-11-2014 Thanks Labs. Photobucket is getting weird. Re: OT: Stop using ImageShack - they're going pay only - cjs - 02-11-2014 Well, you did spur me on to getting everything I have on my laptop re cookbooks on DVDs. I have every picture for the On The Road book on Image Shack - it was so much easier to manipulate the sizing than Photobucket ever was/is. If you find another freebie, maybe I'll just move the book pix over. Thanks Labs. Re: OT: Stop using ImageShack - they're going pay only - DFen911 - 02-11-2014 Jean do you have all your pictures on CD as well? I would hate for them to block you from logging in to download them back because you don't have a paid subscription. Re: OT: Stop using ImageShack - they're going pay only - Harborwitch - 02-12-2014 Denise I am so paranoid - I have my pictures all in 3 or 5 different places - hard drive, dvds, flash drives, etc. My big issue now is all of the cd's from Seattle Film Works that only work up to XP without another software investment. A lot of our life is on those discs - from 95 to 2001. Re: OT: Stop using ImageShack - they're going pay only - labradors - 02-12-2014 Sharon, From what I've read, the free program IrfanView, after you also install its free plug-in package (which contains the additional formats and many other features) can not only view, but also convert those Seattle Film Works files. I don't have any of those kinds of CDs, so I have no way of testing it or giving you much instruction, but I DO use the IrfanView viewer, itself, and it has been a great program for many years. Re: OT: Stop using ImageShack - they're going pay only - cjs - 02-12-2014 Denise, maybe I didn't use the correct term in my post - I now have my book pictures on c.d.s or DVDs or whatever those discs are called. They are in our safety deposit box now - safely stored. Re: OT: Stop using ImageShack - they're going pay only - DFen911 - 02-12-2014 Ah excellent! Re: OT: Stop using ImageShack - they're going pay only - Harborwitch - 02-12-2014 Thanks Labs I'll check it out. I'd really hate to lose those pictures. Labs I owe you! It's wonderful! So cool to see pictures from 1999 right now. Hard to believe! Re: OT: Stop using ImageShack - they're going pay only - cjs - 02-12-2014 O.K., Sharon and Labs - is this something I can figure out?????
