Free image hosting software?

_simon_ · 10-08-2006, 07:49 AM

I don't want to pay for photobucket and the free account is a bit restrictive and imageshack's reliability is appauling.

I have my own webhost already so was wondering whether there is any free software available similar to those used by photobucket and imageshack so that I can host my own pics.

All I need is to be able to upload my images and have the option of linking to them via a thumbnail.

Any suggestions?

I was looking at that software yesterday but wasn't sure it could cater for my needs. I guess it can't hurt to install and give it a go - cheers.

I use it a lot. It's very nice. I don't see what it couldn't do that you could do on Photobucket. And with a little know-how, you could probably make it do whatever you want.

Well I've tried it and can't see anyway to display code that links from a thumbnail to full size image

I'm sure it could be made...

Bah, I'm trying to get the vB code to work but it's set on their galleries so you can't direct link to the images, but I know it can be done with thumbnails and all.
