What I'm liking is that you can have entire galleries of images. I've placed 74 assorted "SpacePictures" that some may find useful for wallpapers, here.

Testing an image embed....



Crap!  Guess I haven't figured that out yet...

Trying again...



Still no joy...  

Help, guys!  What do I have to do?

One more time...

My guess is you need to set the image to "public":

OK...that's from "Thumbnail Link"...


And that's from "Forum Code"

Actually the client is pretty cool too , I tried it nachos and win and it is neat clean just drag a file too it and bam upload.
I agree Tex i hope it stays free. and they follow the KISS theory, Keep It Simple Stupid!

I'm going to see if I can convert their deb file into a pclos rpm.


Just a heads up, Tex. License is Copyright Minus Inc. And the executable is binary.

I'm going to ask permission to package it for PCLinuxos users.


Update: They said I can package it up so I did and put their client in the repo. The drag and drop function isn't working properly in KDE because the popup comes up in the wrong location so not much use for KDE users at this time.


Thanks to everyone who donates. You keep the servers running.

Thanks.  I'll check back on it tomorrow...

...how knows...maybe it was something I did...


OK.  This is weird.

I set the folder in question to "Public" (to test for TheChief), and now both images are showing up!
???

Check this out...

Very odd...still a neat site...

I have three other image hosting sites, and none of them are exactly suitable (or allowed) everywhere.  Looks like this one may be good enough to replace all of them.

Test


Looks like "Private" vs. "Public" has no bearing on accessibility to the images...(I think...I'll test this in another OS/browser, to make sure it's not my login), so I don't think there is much in the way of privacy or security...I think these setting are merely to control what shows up on your min.us home page...

Confirmed when logged into neither the forums nor min.us, from a separate OS/browser, I was able to see the posted "Private" image (previous post)...

So, no security here...be wary of what you store here.

Having said that, this is still a useful site/service with lots of space allocated...

A private image should not have links for sharing underneath it, while a public one does ........  I thought that was how it was done ......  must check it out a bit more .....

Folders cannot be viewed, or their contents, if marked private, I believe
