    Tiny Pics Shutting Down

    Seen tonight Tiny pics is shutting down, giving you about 2-3 weeks (maybe less) to get your pictures out of there.
    About a month ago I started loading some there to try out, since Photobucket has once again kidnapped my files. Holding them for a ransom.
    Reading a little about Tiny pics tonight they 'Highly Recommend' you use their partner company Photo bucket for all your hosting needs.

    Someone told me Imgur (sp?) holds for so long then deletes/drops them?
    Not too sure about that.
    But I need to look for a new Host Sight.

    How are you using GOOGLE photo liking it ?
    Is it easy to use?

    Thx,
    CH-P777

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Thanks, Charlie

    Tiny pics images uploaded or referenced here may be safe even after they shut down.

    In case some members are not aware of this.

    Why are my images from Photobucket, ImageShack etc. copied to milsurps.com?

    .... extract ... All images whether uploaded directly or linked to indirectly from other Internet web sites by members are hosted and stored on the Milsurps.Com internal server... end of extract.

    Hi Charlie.

    I honestly don't know as I haven't used PhotoBucket personally in years.

    It may have something to do with your type of membership on Photobucket, or it may be something new they've implemented to get free advertising and boost their revenue?

    Regardless, the way you've uploaded them here has allowed them to be saved locally here, so you'll never lose them now, even if you deleted your PhotoBucket account or deleted the pics themselves from PhotoBucket.

    I note that the thread you linked to goes back to 2012 and the pics you show are retrieved and stored from our site and not from PhotoBucket.

    Regards,
    Doug
