Basically I want to put some stuff on classifieds and want to include images rather than links. Which photo servers will allow me to display images from them in other web pages such as STW forums?

Ta,

P

I use photobucket - it also give you an automatically copied img link. Don't particularly like photobucket to be honest, but it was the first one I came across.

photobucket also. Works perfectly for putting images in forum posts (here and elsewhere) which is pretty much all I use it for. Isn't flickr one of the ones where it's a bit convoluted to link to the actual image (or at least failed postings would suggest it is so)?

fotopic is free and easy to use.

When you view the picture you can right click to get properties and coipy the URL

http://images4.fotopic.net/?iid=yaw2zm&outx=800&quality=70

You then take the number out after the word images

http://images.fotopic.net/?iid=yaw2zm&outx=800&quality=70

and then stick [img] before it and [/img] after it

[img] http://images4.fotopic.net/?iid=yaw2zm&outx=800&quality=70 [/img]

😆 at WCA for so neatly demonstrating why fotopic isn't the most straightforward!
