August 17, 201411 yr Guys heads up went to load up a pic and tinypic.com popped up a screen to load new version of java - it will load a bunch of malware on your computer do not install it or you will have a bunch of cleanup work to do - only get java from java site you have been warned I hate all of the adware, it messes with my Chrome setup, and they have sneaky dialogs if you try to uninstall. One I found yesterday was "Are you sure you wish to uninstall ---?" the two options were "No" and "Ok." Clicking Ok would install further adware. I really hate websites that offer various downloads, they seem to have far too many ads on them that all say "Download," it takes a while to figure out which is which! Regards, Jeremy Chesney

August 17, 201411 yr Moderator Honestly, I should think "common sense" would warn someone that "there is no such thing as a free lunch!" No one could possibly afford to run a "free hosting site" solely out of a sense of largesse. That is precisely why I don't mind paying ImageShack $12/year for image hosting with absolutely zero advertising or malware magnets... :Whistle: Fr.

August 17, 201411 yr Moderator Since evidently they have now added such revenue producing "Frills and Chills" I'd posit that this pretty much proves the case that no one can afford to be "free" forever... :Big Grin: Fr.

August 18, 201411 yr I love photobucket. It has a few editing features that really help my screenshots. Regards, Jeremy Chesney
August 18, 201411 yr I have been seeing this "Java" thing all summer long at many sites. Including my ISP web mail page. My security blocks it instantly.
