I decided I ought to participate in this competition.

So I went to Ephotozine to upload a pic, logged in, tried to upload a pic, and was told that in order to do so, I must be logged in.

Aargh.

I've reported it, and we'll see what transpires.

EPZ suffered a huge problem on 25th August, so there may well be glitches.

In general, EPZ also does not support hotlinking, so although it might work to here, being a sister site, it won't work to anywhere else.

I use pBase for hotlinking, but there is also Photobucket and probably there are many more.
Best regards, John

Thanks, John. I'll find another site.

I'd 2nd the option of pbase - it's not 100% reliable but it's generally pretty good.

Just remember that there are two sorts of people: artists and critics.

Any doubts you may have harboured as to which category I fall into will shortly be dispelled.

All joking apart, I don't think you have to be a chicken to know an egg's bad.

I've had an exchange of views recently with someone who seems to take the position that unless one has posted good photos, one isn't entitled to judge those of others.

Personally I think this is nonsense, but, that said, it wouldn't be surprising to discover that a good critic was also an artist.

I'd probably go as far as to think that you can't be an artist without being a critic.

Perhaps, but not relevant. The question here is whether you can be a critic without being an artist.

I use Photobucket www.photobucket.com

and that has been, up to now, very reliable, and one gets a large enough (in my opinion) storage allowance for free. It's also quite fast in uploading images.
