Introducing our own image hosting!

And now for something completely different.

After all the debacle of online image hosting and the disappearance of most of the images that our site linked to, I decided to offer you all free hosting for any images you'd like to share on the site or anywhere for that matter.

Now that the site is on our own VPS I have quite a few giggly-bites going spare and the boy said I can attach a network drive he'd give me of many terry-bites if I needed. That means in laymen terms that it's unlikely it would stretch our site storage to any great degree and we have a failsafe if it did. We also get unlimited bandwidth so there is no "bill" for the images being loaded/rendered.

The link to the our image site I'll add below and if you'd like an account I'll just manually set you one up with your username and PM you the password so you can change all your details to suit - but it is self hosted you only needed to change your password and profile stuff (there isn't that much) for it to work just fine. You can ignore the name and address stuff.

There is no particular need for anyone to use it if they don't wish to, but I will be putting things like six's avatar over there so sigs and avatars might be a good idea to reside there.

Have fun.

Thanks very much.  This will make things considerably easier.

I often can't be bothered to add images to a post as it's a cumbersome process with some of the free image hosts online.

When or if you need to use it, just post here and I'll set you up an account. I have tried some stuff in the admin area and images load super quick.

Nice addition, smokes! I'll likely hit you up for an account in the near future but am currently occupied with another "project" right now. :D

I'll set you up an admin account just so you still have full access to everything site related. You never know, I might get corona'd.
