Picture Problems

[t-man403]

Can one of the mods tell me why the pictures I post vanish after about 10/12 hours? They are hosted on SkyDrive and are open to public viewing and I have never had this problem before this thread. THX!

I right-clicked on your post and hit "show source" and looked at the URL of your picture...
I guess it used to lead somewhere, doesn't seem to now... it is an ugly machine-generated looking URL,
maybe you used a non-static URL not intended for posting or something... ?

Not a mod, but I really wouldn't use a secured cloud storage system (Like Sky Drive, Google Drive, DropBox, etc) as a public image host, just not what they're set up for, possibility of opening other security holes, or of things like what you're seeing happen.

There are tons of free, account-less simple image hosting options out there, I'd just toss my images on one of those on a post by post basis to keep it simple.

Few options:

Thanks for the info!

Weird I haven't had a problem till now. Have you any idea what happens to your picture after it's posted if you don't open an account on these sites? Maybe it doesn't matter ..... just curious.

No guarantee the pics will still be there ever of course, but I've put pics there years ago that are still there. Of course, there's no security so if you're worried about such things, don't put pics on there that you don't want the world to see, but if you don't want the world to see you wouldn't be posting it here either.
