And ANOTHER one bites the dust!

Just opened my Comcast mail account to find this waiting for me:





Dear PhotoIsland Member,



Over the last several years it has been our pleasure to provide you with

exceptional photo sharing services. On Nov. 22, 2004 however, the PhotoIsland

website will be shutting down for good. On that date, all photo sharing accounts

will be deleted. If you currently have photos in your PhotoIsland account,

please visit the site now to download them to your PC’s hard drive.



In order to make the process of downloading photos from your account quick and

easy, we are providing a download applet for you to use. After you log in to

your account, click the “Manage Photos” link on the left navigation bar then

click “Download all photos”. At that time, the applet will pop up on your screen

and guide you through the downloading process.



If you have difficultly downloading your photos, please contact us at

-- email address removed -- and we will be happy to help you with the

process.





Sincerely,



PhotoIsland Member Services



This is like the third or foruth time I've had this happen since I've had acces to a digital camera and started participating on various internet message boards. Can anyone out there recommend a good FREE image hosting service? Make that one that is also not all defensive and CHICKEN ***** when it comes to remote linking???



Looks as though such a thing is appears to be going the way of the dodo bird. #@$%! :{

I get 20MB of web space with Comcast and that's where I keep my pictures.



I use FTP explorer and just drag and drop the photos to my "site".

Can you remote link form the Comcast online sotrage?

As KBennett said, most ISP's offer some webspace for a personal web page. You can upload your pics there using a simple (free) FTP program. You do not need to create any web pages to upload them as a web browser will show the files in a directory format. For an example, check out the misc. folder on my website at http://www.klenger.net/misc/
