What do you mean?

Before it made me share the album (send it to someones email adress then use that link) before being about to let others see it.

Oh, okay. Thanks

Right now, Shutterfly is working fine. I hope they won't change that anytime soon. I have hundreds of photos there! I have put many of them on Pet Talk recently with no problems.

Hey guys,

I don't think it's time for mass panic just yet! My guess is that RussianBlue's friend was probably linking to a site that was accessed by many people. If, for instance, you set your website's wallpaper by linking to Imagestation and you get a lot of hits, that is going to suck their bandwidth big time.

There are a lot of Pet Talkers, but I don't think that there are enough of us to make that kind of difference.

A good site I use for linking to Livejournal is village photos. For some reason, Livejournal does not like Imagestation. Here is the url:

http://members.villagephotos.com/index.asp

If it gets to the point that no one will let you link and they have ways around it, you just set up your own website like a geocities one and upload pictures to that. Otherwise, set up a router with its very own webserver. We have one, and I could probably store a few people's signatures at a pinch.

If it did come to that, perhaps Karen and Paul could even set up a service where you could store and delete a small number of pics for posting on this site for a wee price.

Didn't some of us try to use Shutterfly a couple years ago - before we found ImageStation?
I seem to remember that some folks did use Shutterfly for a while - but their photos were blocked after a period of time...???

If you read the fine print on Shutterfly...
it has the same thing that most of the other photo sharing sites have =

"3a. Access to your account
Your account with Shutterfly is available for your personal, non-commercial use. You can allow other people to view selected images in your account through Shutterfly’s on-line share feature. The people you invite to view your images through on-line share will be able to see the images you have selected for them and will not have access to your entire account.

Linking directly to images on Shutterfly’s servers from external sites is expressly prohibited. "

Thanks for the info IBK. I just signed up on the village photos site. I'll use this in case imagestation cancels me.

I just signed up too. Have lots of pics to post with my kitties opening up their presents from Catmandu.....

I want a place to upload the GIF's. I have done it on stranglethecat, but for some reason it doesn't work today. I signed up with ALL the others mentioned here and they won't work for animations.
