chorleydave:
I have just been looking for some free web space to save several photos in.  After "Googling" I came up with three "services" that looked promising, only to find that the first two demanded a $5.00 "refundable deposit" - which wasn't mentioned until almost all the sign up process had been completed and only the final button remained to be hit.  Fortunately, I had used Spamgourmet disposable e-mail addresses to sign up in the earlier steps, so these crooks who try to gather your e-mail address for selling on won't catch me out.

The third service actually had the gall to claim on the front page of the "free" service that it was ideal for storing files, only to ask for $3.99 a month for the "Premium Service" if you wanted to upload anything, otherwise it was text only.

Does anyone know of a free web space service, that isn't solely devoted to conning "customers" out of their e-mail address and giving them something useless in return?

chorleydave:
Please ignore the last paragraph in my earlier post.  I have searched this forum and found Freewebs, so I'm having a look at that.

Thanks :)

Simon:
Isn't there something called Photo Bucket which some people use on here?

chorleydave:
Ah well, Freewebs is working, although my pic seems to have resized itself and has elongated me!

Simon.  Thanks. I'll have a look for Photo Bucket.

Thats possibly the forum software Dave, it has to be exactly 100 x 100 pixels to use as an avatar  :)
