Ok, I know you've gone over it 100 times, but

[Pale Blue Dot]

can someone please explain again how to post pictures? Include the names of free hosting services, if you can. Thanks!

As a reward, you will get the first glimpse of my new sig line!

1. here's a service

http://207.137.168.225/

Upload your image, then paste the URL they give you into your profile for your sig line.

6. Every time I try to use that service

...it tells me the file is the wrong type! What gives?

2. 100 percent foolproof way to post pictures

• if you have not already done so, purchase a router such as a Linksys and set it to use DHCP for its address and to host DHCP
  
• move your pc behind the router (figuratively) - it will get a new IP in the 192.168 range from the router's DHCP
  
• obtain an old computer from a pawn shop - 100 Mhz is plenty fast
  
• install linux, no security (unless you really know what you're doing), let it get its IP address from the router (DHCP) - it will get something in the 192.168.1.1 range - type ipconfig -a to find out what it is
  
• configure Apache to run on a port other than 80 eg. 8080
  
• create an images directory under htdocs - put your images there
  
• configure your router to accept requests on your Apache port (eg. 8080) and pass them through to your linux computer
  

This gives you complete control over what happens with your pictures.

3. Sounds... fun.

I liked the first post better. It gave me a clicky thing!

4. You're joking, right?

Do you think anyone who understands a single line of that would need to ask how to post pictures?

Reminds me of Steve Martin's "How You Can Make A Million Dollars And Never Pay Taxes" routine.

He starts with, "Okay first - get a million dollars..."

5. You're kidding about no security

Right?

7. Not at all

Its behind a NAT'ing router.

Pretty safe all in all
