mstieg Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Dead lately. Any word? I certainly hope it's temporary. My pics gallery is hosted there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott87star Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Gone for good. I know Gary backed it up so someone has your pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted October 11, 2015 Report Share Posted October 11, 2015 Yeah Gary posted about 2 months ago that 2.6liter was closing up shop. It was supposed to go down at the end of August but Gary was busy with other things. Likely gone for good. This is why we say download all the manuals from starquestgarage to your computer because websites don't last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstieg Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Well hell. I didn't get the memo. A good 10 years of pics linked to posts on this site are now busted. http://media.giphy.com/media/10p704gIAGRN7i/giphy.gif Recommendations for a new host gallery for internet pics?? How can I contact Gary to recover what I had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Cary Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 If you want to host pics use your Facebook. You can link the url just as any other image. If you don't want to spam your feed with random pics set the image privacy to only you for the image you post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mstieg Posted October 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 ^ Willing to help with that but it never came up. I'm starting a site now with unlimited host bandwidth. Although I hear some are not as advertised and slow down if hidden limits are surpassed, then requiring updated server hosting...a problem I'd love to have in starting my own forum (for something entirely different). Why I'm also now willing to pay a bit per year as needed to maintain a working gallery. Mostly for SQC & internet pic linking. Looks like a 5 MB limit on here for media uploads. Not as user friendly for external linking either. I'm not familiar with the programming aspects or potential drain on where the gallery is hosted but want to learn & do it right.

speedyquest Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Host all your images on imgur or someplace else that is designed for pictures. Using Facebook is a horrible idea for several reasons including their terms of use involving who owns media uploaded there along with the fact that you can't see images unless you log. I personally don't use Facebook so people like me will simply not see any of the pictures hosted that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Cary Posted October 12, 2015 Report Share Posted October 12, 2015 Most of the pictures I post are done through my Facebook. It doesn't matter if it is set to private (only you) or friends etc. I suggested setting it to only you so if people on your feed see a part it's not like wt.... is that? Just copy the url for the image itself and paste it into the forum as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edde Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 Did he zip up and send any of this to any of you? I saw he said he would. Too bad all the way around. Life gets in the way and some people grow up . He was on original. I'm sure he has it all and it'll turn up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ucw458 Posted October 13, 2015 Report Share Posted October 13, 2015 I asked for a copy so some of the info could still be available on SQC. Never got a reply. May still happen. Gary has been pretty busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
