whats going on at OZx image hosting ? .... the whole thing has changed ( i know ive been away) ... i cant log in and if i go in as a guest , i cant find my way around .
Why do things that work get changed ? for no good reason , just about had a tit full of this whole sim thing to be honest

Not sure what's going on for you. I still seem to be able to login and post pictures without having to do anything special.

They have been doing the same as us updated their site and new software you will have to create a new account all your old images are now in a database and you can not access them anymore but they will stay locked and all images that have been posted will not disappear.
The good thing about it is now you can make a few albums to keep you different stuff in.

Cheers big D , I'll have another look in the morning

They have changed the format and historical screens gone but it is now even easier hook in post screens , something I'll do is a new tut tomorrow .. as mentioned all the previous history has been removed , it was only recent stuff anyways - generally come in with this new NZFF forum so least we how to time date anything required

I think our guys did a better job. Having my images stored in a locked database is no use to me, but I have used PostImage for the past few years, so it didn't happen to me

I personally decided to move to a flightsim base image hosting OZx , as I mentioned Photo-bucket had my attention years back then decided to yuppyize it , I would not be surprised to find Postimage may go the same way, .. with the change I contacted JayKee and mentioned they did the same thing as what has been done to the , our NZFF site cleaned and completely updated , tho historical screens are lost ....

I kept away from OzX because their storage was part of their forum - PostImage is image storage, pure and simple, and so to my mind more reliable. I don't believe in multi-function devices designed to sell heaps of ink, for the same sort of reason. A simple failure can lose you the use of four devices - and who sends faxes these days anyway?

I posted a letter the other day

"Having my images stored in a locked database is no use to me" same here.... and they have done away with the resize option .

Marty I stick doing my own resizing and only keeping it 1280 wide , some screens have four or five so extending that one screen for example 1280X2500 still keeping it below the 4MB size off old and then annotate the wording and story making on the screen.

Marty, PIX resizer from http://bluefive.pair.com/ is freeware and can convert to jpg at the same time. Works for me.
