And what makes you think that "tinypic" could not easily someday disappear or go the way of Photobucket which has been one of the biggest for years?? Personally I've never heard of "tinypic". What's the problem with loading them into Fordbarn itself to be reasonably sure that they'll be around as long as Fordbarn itself is?? Thousands upon thousands of old threads are going to be worthless now due to missing key pictures on dozens of forums including Fordbarn and the Hamb. Many warnings that this could happen have been given in many threads, yet people continue to use them - I just don't get it!!!

Sure TinyPic can go south also, so couldn't the earth by a meteor. I personally didn't care for PhotoBucket. I found TinyPic easier to use than any other place and....all my photos are saved to my own files anyway.
