**Edit** For anybody similarly affected, this is an alternative Brit based free image host.

That's going to kill a lot of threads on here. Similar when photobucket changed their rules.

@Admin can the existing pictures be transferred to a forum host before they disappear?

Afraid that the links are already dead Darren. I spent an hour this morning uploading stuff from my pc to the new host I'm using, and then went through the bike hike pictures thread reposting the new links. Bloody annoying.

Gary, did you read the bumf on that hosting site?

I didn't see that Lance. I'll have a think about what to do. Any pictures I send to an image host are all on my pc anyway.

Yodel. Utterly useless. I got ten minutes notice via email of a delivery, when we were already away for the weekend. As I was driving at the time I only read it alongside the second email saying it was left "in a safe place". F-ing liars, it was left in front of the door in full view of anyone passing. Big box with Laithwaites Wine plastered over it. Thankfully my 82 year old neighbour spotted it and rescued it, despite it being very heavy, or it would have been nicked or ruined by the rain (cardboard advent calendar full of small wine bottles).

The lack-of-notice email said it had to be signed for, with a picture of it by an open door. Or they'd leave it with a neighbour. So that's a fail on every count!!

Cars! Just failed the MoT. About £800 to fix it. Goodbye to half my savings.

**Edit** And to add insult to injury, after standing at the bus stop for half an hour I discovered that the 72, which should have taken me from Oswestry back to Llanfyllin, has been pulled permanently by Tanat Valley despite still being listed in online and actual timetables.

What's wrong with the car Gary.

[garynortheast]

Needs a new sill, an injector is chuffing, headlights need sorting. Got no choice but to get it fixed John, can't afford a new car (or even a decent 2nd hand one!).

[Bibio]

Ouch Gary. Did you not just buy that car last year?

[garynortheast]

No, had it for around 3 years now Lance.
