OT - picture hosting site recommendations please.

Post by O.S.O.K. »

One of the other boards that I freqent, where I hosted my pics, is down - a legal battle over service I'm afraid....

So, with that unavailable, I need a place to host pics - a basic, free site. I can find one of course, but I'd like ya'lls recommendation on one that's been good for you. Again, just a basic site - I do all of the editing and such before posting...

Thanks :D

Photobucket works ok for me. I'm not very demanding of 'features' - just want a place to post photos so I don't have to re-embed them in messages, etc. They do have 'editing' and all sorts of sharing and video and sub-albums, for those high-end users. It's FREE unless you load probably THOUSANDS of pics (I've loaded hundreds and am nowhere close to using my free allocation).

One thing - if you click 'edit' on one of your posted photos there, the site allows fast and easy 're-size' which helps if you want to make a big picture into an 'avatar' or a more levergun-friendly size that will not make your post six feet wide. That's kind of cool. I suppose competing photo repository sites have that as well.

unlimited space, and they automatically resize to a smaller size for forums while also maintaining the original size pic.

Thanks guys. I think I'll avoid photobucket - I hate popups. The hunt one looks promising! I've posted some on Flikr - and its working so far. 100 MB per month limit - but that's plenty for me - especially since I resize em down to 600K before uploading.

Thanks!!

Popups? I've been using it since the upgrades went goofy at the other place and haven't had any popups using the free end of it.

Well, so far Flikr is doing ok. Hopefully they aren't animal rights fanatics or anti-gun or anti-ugly old guy :lol:

Photobucket has popups? (snicker) I use Firefox and have never seen any.

Yeah, I recommend them too.
