Can anyone tell me a good place for hosting pics and files?
I have loads of stuff on my pc that I want to have access to when i'm on me travels.
I've looked at building my own homepage with freeserve but it's all a bit too fancy. Is there anything that's basically an online hard drive?

Cheers

Yodi,

I was playing with imagestation last night with view to hosting sig pics. Yeah it cool but i couldn't figure out what URL/link to put in my sig line. I couldn't see the address line HTTP:/WWW.blah blah/sig.jpg that i needed to use.....

Dumb i know but any advise?

right click on the image, copy shorcut

remove the orig. which is at the end of the link and add [IMG ] to the beginning and [/IMG ] to the end. (without the spaces)

Cheers mate,

I almost had but i was opening the image and link as the original (far too big!). Just killed the end 'orig.jpg' as you said and hey presto.

Nice one mate. :D ;)

If its just storage you want so that you can retrieve from anywhere, telnet to sdf.lonestar.org and create yourself a free account, you can get more features by registering and making a donation. you'll get the details 1st time you log on. A word of warning though, check your file permissions as sometimes it creates and account that anyone can cd into. there are thousands of scriptkiddies that use this server but they can be a bit dim leaving everything out in the open like thousands of yahoo login details that they've scraped together :rolleyes: makes for intresting reading sometimes.
