I also got caught out badly by PB - sorry if photos on my threads disappear - I'm sure they will in the future. If anyone really wants a photo please contact me, I will see if I have a backup, but in many cases I have deleted them... sorry. I tried Flickr, but I think my Neanderthal computer couldn't handle it- Imageshack seems to be working for me. Regards in these trying times, Marc.

I can recommend using Imgur. It has easy image resizing, very simple uploading, links are easy (just copy and paste the option you want)....and it's FREE.

I've been using it about three years and I've never had an issue with it,

I deleted my PB account and opened a Imgur one.  So how do you post?  I copied a link and put it in my Junkers D.I completed post
but the image doesn't appear just the link.  Th user can click on the link http://i.imgur.com/ma8IohP.jpg to see the model but id there another way so the user can view the model in the post here on the forum?

Charlie,
     I made the same change and using this little tutorial even I found the procedure simple:

   By sheer coincidence the author turned out to be my Nephew (also a serious Model Builder) It's easy to follow and works like a charm!
Cheers,
Lance

Amongst the link options there is one called message boards and forums. That's the link you want to copy.
