Hi All,

Having returned to Gaiaonline I noticed that all my old pictures have been replaced by beautiful notices of Photobucket to update my account in order to host pictures to other sites.

So now Photobucket is charging to upgrade to their Plus 500 plan for $399.99 a year. I am definitely not doing this and was wondering what other members are using to host images instead. Any suggestions?

Thanks you guys!

Cheers!

I know and imageshack is doing the same thing too.

I came across this site:
https://imgbb.com/

So far I don't see any sign of a 30 day free trial. Hopefully this will help.

Thank you PixelMuse!

I will definitely look into Imgbb. Too bad about Imageshack :/ I've been looking into Imgur as well.

Thanks!

imgur is another good free image hosting site that I use here and on reddit.

Imgur is turning out to be pretty good. Reposted some images on the guild's recruitment thread without a hitch!

Hopefully they don't follow the charging plan trend! emotion_8c

DeviantArt.
It's free to sign up, you can upload pictures you want to use and resize them to 400. Anything other than that you have to edit it through Sta.sh but it's not hard. Easy way to keep track of your character pictures and you can use the image address for the img url.

I just realized we never took care of this problem. Anyone have any ideas still?

Whoa! Blast from the past. I sure hope it was taken care of in the last 3 years

Thanks! Unfortunately I don't have access to the original files. I could try to get ahold of Cheshire, but she probably has better things to worry about. I could try commissioning a new banner as well.

I use DeviantArt for all of my images if I can. You can upload most images you find to your account and then you can crop and edit them how you would like. I find it easier than using a picture site like photobucket and such.

Try this…

Using Google chrome I right clicked and open in a new tab and voila no watermark.
