Photos - Hosting Site

Post by Eric Layton »

I am using the photo hosting site called "xs.to" The website is http://xs.to It is free and very easy to use. They give you all the codes you need to post your pictures on forums, both BBCode and HTML code. After uploading the picture to their site, I just copy the code (BBCode or HTML) from their site and paste it where I want the picture. They encourage the use of thumbnails in the body of the post to save on their bandwidth, but they also allow direct linking. They also like a little acknowledgement of their site but is not required. Usually it is fast but every once in awhile the pictures don't load, even with fast connections.

The BBCode for the flash thumbnail picture was: [url=http://xs.to/xs.php?h=xs49&d=05401&f=SMakFlsh.jpg][img]http://xs49.xs.to/pics/05401/SMakFlsh.jpg.xs.jpg[/img][/url]

Here is the direct linked picture:
