| 644205 | 2008-02-28 05:53:00 | Din't Yahoo Photo go away because Yahoo bought Flickr? It just migrated did it not? I didn't really use Yahoo cos I found out early that if you uploaded a huge picture they only display at that preview size. People could only access your big file if they paid Yahoo to print for them. So I went with Epson but they too closed doors now I am with flickr. I just searched Yahoo Photo's. They quote the following: Since June 2007, we provided Yahoo! Photos users several options to move their photos. If you did not take the opportunity to move your photos, unfortunately they are no longer available. For those users that did move your photos to another service, your photos should be waiting for you there. |

| 644206 | 2008-02-28 07:23:00 | The problem is that you don't know how long these companies are going to be around, espeically the free ones, which can disappear overnight. I only recommend those (mashable.com) as "throw-away" options for online file storage. That list is six months old too and I think you'd be hard pressed to find more than 5 on that list that aren't still in service. I do agree though with the general sentiment that online backup isn't a great idea or viable option for NZers yet. There's a few that have made a good name for themselves overseas such as Mozy (mozy.com/), and others like AWS (http:) (or 3rd-party services powered by them like Jungle Disk (http://jungledisk.com/)) are going to be around as long as the internet exists. Besides, if companies like Google (www.google.com) and Microsoft (http://skydrive.live.com/) keep throwing free diskspace at us... |

| 644209 | 2008-02-29 10:06:00 | This thread/forum seems a little buggy (nz.neopages.org), I noticed it happened earlier too.That is called a *feature*. If someone votes then it pushes the thread to the top and shows the timestamp against the last user when the vote was posted. When you view the actual thread, the original timestamp of the last poster shows. This is why I REALLY REALLY like it when people put in an end date to their poll so that it doesn't come back to haunt us two years later when some person decides to cast another vote on it, yet it still shows the last post as two years previously. |
