I have struck that a few times when extracting images from articles on websites.
Something to do with the way they are encoded. The only answer I found was to
copy the image to my PC and then upload it to an image server... like this...

Easier than trying to figure out why it doesn't work like a normal image :)

It seems like photobucket.com is not FREE anymore to post photos on 3rd party forums.
Does anyone has other recommendation besides photobucket ? I have TONS of pics that was posted here through them..... :?

Imgur.com seems to be the best of the free image hosting sites, and they don't
have any restrictions on 3rd party linking. Postimage.org also looks good, so I have
opened accounts with both and will put some of my pics on each site for a while.

Thank you for your quick response as usual.
I will check both services but, I am not sure if I am able to move all of my pictures and re-posting here...just too many of them... :twisted:

I actually have an account at postimage.org that I forgot about it....but, did you notice that they do not have any options to DELETE the account?
May be I am not searching enough but, I am not able to find out how to DELETE my account from postimage.org....any ideas?????

I don't see any control that will close or delete your account. I guess you can
delete any pics you have stored there and just let the account die of old age :)

I am currently under the process of moving my photos from photobucket to flickr that everyone who is using FREE photobucket account should do the same thing. (not necessary to use flickr but, some other service that allows you to post your photos on the 3rd party web site)

Including my topics, there are TONS of topics that shows error message by photobucket due to their recent DOWNGRADE.
If topic owner is not able to update / maintain their own topics, I say it should be DELETED.

If any of the admin / mods are reading this, I would like to hear your opinion as well. Thank you for your time and opinion. :!:
