Just out of interest chubb, does going down the twitter route loose some of the resolution at all? Twitter is strange how it works.... take the image below for example, taken straight from Twitter from this URL https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DzoUlICWoAEGgCD.jpg I would say it is resized slightly, however with a bit of trickery you can access the larger version by adding :large at the end of the URL. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DzoUlICWoAEGgCD.jpg:large If you want to get the original image try adding :orig at the end of the URL. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DzoUlICWoAEGgCD.jpg:orig They will still work when posted to the forum with the :large & :orig at the end of the URL. I cannot confirm that the :orig version is the same size as a USB export as I have never done a USB export. Edited February 19, 2019 by JuniorChubb Quote Can you smell what the Stone is cooking?

This I can tell you that image hosting is not allowed period on the XDBX website. Due to the amount of server space it would consume and our crew site operates on donations from the crew so costs need to stay down. Now, this will be one of the very few times I advertise this but the option does exist on this site https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/subscriptions/. Those who pay for a subscription have the option to upload images on to the site which is an option you will not find on most forums. The reason I have it set this way is since it costs more then those who offer to help pay the bills get access to do something with it. No one has to use this option of course as there is means to host it elsewhere and paste a link. In this early stage of the site it would be easy to give everyone access to upload images here, but at some point it would have to be taken away which would have a far more implications taking something away as opposed to something you never had. Sorry things are this way, but they have to be to keep the site online. I am fine spending what is needed to have this site online, but at some point breaking even wouldn't hurt my feelings... 2 Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

0 doubleg213 746 Posted February 19, 2019 Share Posted February 19, 2019 I have my own web server so predominantly self-host what I have, although I had started using Imgur as a photo dumping ground for stuff from GTA Events, mainly because it was easier to link to their galleries. I do have a Flickr account as well but I save that purely for none gaming related stuff so never use it for forum stuff mostly.
