[Lowfer] SIW this morning in Denver

[Douglas D. Williams]

Mark, on further investigation, it seems that even the Direct Link option
sometimes shows the ads, so this is a Photobucket problem, not incorrect
usage by the end user. I used to use Photobucket for all my screen
captures, but switched to Dropbox several years ago, and haven't looked
back.

Dropbox is great. It's a cloud service that allows you to share files and
folders. At it's most basic level, it's free. I use it for many
things.....data backup.....music storage/picture storage......etc. I play
some PBEM (play-by-email) war games, but instead of actually exchanging
turns via e-mail attachments, I share a Dropbox folder with my opponents
and we each simply put our turns in the folder. You can also use it to
share single images on this mailing list, such as Argo screen captures,
and, unlike Photobucket, all we will ever see is the single image with no
ads. Example:

Might want to check it out. It's very easy to install and use.
