Club Photo Image hosting alternative?

[leehljp]

Does anyone here use Club Photo for an image hosting site? If so, are you having trouble linking and posting pictures from there to this forum?

I have been with them for 3 or 4 years and now suddenly, I cannot get a link with a .jpg ending. No matter what I do, I cannot get that.

Now links have a "jive=" (without the quotes) in the link and in some cases as the ending

Below is a link as it used to be, and I copied it from my previous post two months ago.

New Link from Club Photo for SAME picture:

The new link does not show up here as a pict, but does allow clicking to review it on the Club Photo site.

I used to hit control-click to get "open in new window" which gave me the "jpg" link. But no more!

ALSO, what image hosting site are you using now? Looks like I might need to change services again.

Sometimes people with high-traffic web sites try to reduce their bandwidth by hosting the images used on the site at one of the image hosting sites. Obviously image hosting sites don't like that, especially if they are financed with ads which would not show if you link directly to a photo. Hence they try to make that impossible.

Can't help you with recommendations though, sorry!
