Is anybody else having problems with postimage?

Logged into my postimage.cc account just now, and most of the images in my gallery weren't displaying, just showing '503 server temporarily busy' error messages.

I take it back. I've posted hundreds of pics on this site and others with Imgur and now it doesn't work for me at all. Desktop, laptops....won't work anymore.

Same.

Or you can pick one of the inexpensive image hosts, pay a few bucks per month, and stay in one place. Personally, I use Imageshack, for which I believe I pay $18/year. Very reasonable.

Imageshack for me too. $18/year, supports avatars, very reliable, unlimited everything. Has albums for organization. You upload full-size images, then specify the desired pixel dimensions for each forum post.

I once let my subscription lapse. I couldn’t upload more photos, but all of my previously loaded photos remained visible in forums, including my avatar. When I finally re-upped, it was as though the lapse hadn’t happened.

I was paying for a subscription to Fototime for 20 yrs and they disappeared overnight with no warning, explanation, apology or refunds. Lost everything. Countless trips to Europe and China, all gone. I use Flickr for free now. When I get to 600 images or whatever, I'll pay for the upgrade.

I thought it was a P220 Carry TT SAO.

But I be damned if that slide don’t look like a P228 on it, but I didn’t think they made a SAO, and that’s an awful thin grip!

Maybe a 228 slide on a 229 SAO frame? Does that work?

I’m curious also. The grips say P220 and the slides surely says P228.

Sorry I haven't been back on the thread,

P220 Carry SAO, bought it several years ago, when the LGS had a big inventory clearance sale, seems it was stuck at a bottom of a stack. I'll have to find the case for the official Sig Config Sticker
