Saving pic's from the forum on an online server?
« on: November 29, 2008, 12:16:36 PM »
I am currently in a rehab. I will be here for some time due to my illness. Currently the only internet ready computer avaiable to me is the company owned server internet terminals. These are avaiable for all the "guests" in the facility to use. So once a person is done the terminal logs off.  I lost my e-mail when I dropped my former internet service and sold my desktop computer. I do have a new e-mail but its run completely online(this allows me to send and recieve e-mail anywhere there is a terminal which is good given my current situtation). Windows live does alow me some space for a photo album and since i do love the pic's of some of the Contenders on here I was wondering if it was possable to save a copy directly to the album online? Since there is no way to save one to the terminal. If its possable detailed instructions please. Thanks guys. :-\

GBO offers a free photo hosting service that is both fast and free and worksk all the time unlike some of the others out there. Just set up an account at www.myhostedpics.com and save your photos there.

That won't work Bill, he can't save the pics on the terminal because it has no storage,  MHP requires him to browse his PC to upload, which he can't.  :-\

The site below may be of some help, good luck jmlv. ;)

Huh?

He needs no storage at his terminal. He wants to save images that he sees here online so all he has to do is set up an account with us and save them to that doesn't he? If the computer he is at has a hard drive it can save it temporarily long enough for him to transfer it to his myhostedpics account can't he?

I fail to understand what you mean Tim.

Sorry won't work. the computer I work at is simple a keyboard mouse and monotor. I have no way to save anything to any drive. the systom won't even let me try. I have to be able to save directly to someplace online with no use of anything from the computer I am on. I figure it may just be impossable but its all the option I have currently. Any ideas welcome.

Over my level of technical expertise then. Try going with what Tim suggested to see if that will work.

Is there anyway to use a flash drive with it to copy things to?
