I hope anyone can help me out...

I wanted to upload photo's using URI/URL upload
but I looked in the admin tools and saw that the 'allow_url_fopen' is turned off
so I mailed my provider and he told me that it was not possible for free webhosts to turn on this function.

Does anyone know a solution for my problem besides buying webspace?

thanx in advance

URI upload is a silly feature in the first place imo. You (as coppermine admin) should use FTP-uploads plus batch-add instead (refer to the corresponding documentation section).

I can do that
but all my pictures are already online in my photobucket-album, so it is easier just to link, than upload them all over again

URI uploads don't just create a link, but copy the file from the URL into your gallery's albums folder, so you're not saving any space using URI uploads. As the name suggests, it's "URI upload", not "URI linking".
