Where to post a photo of a tree?

What binary newsgroup does anyone use for photos for identifying trees?



I have used the online free sites, like tinypic, imageshack, photobucket, etc., and they are all too much effort and time to log in, upload, etc., etc.



Thanks.


Many people - like myself - do not have access to binary groups any more - because our servers stopped carrying them :-( So we appreciate the online free photo sites. I can't recommend a specific service though - sorry John T.

Tinypic works as quickly as anything I have seen. No need to log into anything, just upload, type in the captcha and copy the link.

Unless one has a very slow connection to the net, in which case any and all photo transfers are a bother, I cannot imagine anything faster or easier.

Ditto. I use imgur.com for my images to link. Beside newsgroup/usenet is dying. :P

I went there just out of curiosity; took only a quick look, but it seemed vulgar/tacky.

Question: What is your backup for statement that "newsgroup/usenet is dying?? Straight question.

Imgur is just a place to upload and stash visuals. It is no more nor less vulgar or tacky than any other place online. I take it you do not hang out in a broad range of Usenet groups, either.

newsgroup/usenet is

seemed vulgar/tacky.

I don't see any drop off in what I call the 'good' newsgroups. Much easier to use than anything online.

Earthlink still carries all binary groups which I use a lot. Tons of special interest site -- audio, old cars, old photos, maps, you name it... just can't find one for plants/trees.

I use its usenet service too, but it doesn't carry ALL newsgroups from its outsourced SuperNews (Giganews owns it now). :(

ISPs dropping usenet services, my computer friends don't use them anymore, etc.
