Hi all,
I use Fotopic as an on-line piccie store, and also elsewhere on another forum, have an avatar that 'looks' to the url of it on Fotopic.
These last few days my avatar isn't working and I can't log on to the Fotopic site.
Any ideas as to what's going on?
....or is it just me?
cheers

I tried a few days ago, and again today. Looks a bit dead to me.

You could always ask ken_shields who asked [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/anybody-else-use-fotopic ]yesterday[/url] or Tracey who asked 2 [url= http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/is-there-something-wrong-with-fotopic ]days ago[/url]. I guess the search function is borked too...

No need for pointing out that the OP is not alone in having Fotopic problems, or no need for pointing out that there is a search function for this?
What there isn't a need for is a cowardly shitty tag, say it openly or not at all.

shouldn't be a problem if you have all your images backed up elsewhere.

Aimed at the tag writer, I've never seen the point of writing less than complimentary tags...

tags are cool if your dad isn't a policeman or your older brother isn't well hard.

Thanks Knottie, and for the info Drac and Jamie.
Haven't much posted on their, simply use it to bounce pics off for here and other forums, so no real damage to me personally.

Knottie: As an avid snapper, who do you use to enable you to post pic's onto here?

I have been a fotopic user . lol for the last 7 years and had 3 months left of my subscription.I have all my pics backed up but its just a lot of work to load onto another site. Infact I shant put any old pics on a new site . I do have a flicker page but I dont like the presentation of the pics.

Thanks both, will investigate.
I only have used my fotopic site to add pic's to this forum, so am quite a minimalist user. Also have no experience of anything else, so not sure exactly what to look for, except something free!

Balls. I got collections going back to 2002 on fotopic. Lots of mates and family use it to keep upto date with my goings on ๐Ÿ™
Got the photos elsewhere, but its a shame to loose all my albums. Fingers crossed it comes back online.
