Setup ov9vpn.co.uk* and sell everyone on here access for £1 month. Then log what everyone is accessing for future leverage.

*ov9pn? I'm sure there's a cleverer domain name.

Might have missed it, but what's the consensus on a simple user friendly replacement for imgur?

I’ve found imgbb quite easy - still got Flickr account but I’m over capacity so without paying loads…….

I've put in the request with imgur for them to send me all my data and to delete my account afterwards. I could probably do that via VPN, but they can do the donkey work

I've also signed up to imgbb as per Mikes recommendation. Seems pretty good. Took a while for the activation email to come through and it went straight into my junk email

Hopefully this works:



And yes, my garage needs a clean

Looks very good Marv (although you need to change your light for a hexagonal one obviously!)

Just noticed that My Garage on PH has no photos at all for my car history now. The more recent ones have an Imgur error and the older ones have a Photobucket error. I know PH would have a vastly larger server requirement if they hosted people’s car photos but it would probably have been sensible for them to do so with a shrunken version at least.

Rather annoying because storage costs have gone down, but photo sizes have increased massively! Is it that hard to put an auto resizer in an uploader to make all photos a more sensible size.

I have no idea how big the photos my phone takes are, I just remember the old dialup days and resizing everything to 800x600 or something
