I am fed up with Photbucket
« on: 08 June 2014, 07:10:44 PM »
The title says it all.
Am looking to move to another photo site.
Am not the smartest guy when it comes to stuff like that,
but can usually figure it out.
Would like a site that I can take photos and post them on LAF.
Any recommends?
Thanks.

I switched from the filthy pbucket "update" within days of it happening.

Imgur is absolutely the best option right now. No restrictions on size, bandwidth, etc.

Indeed, the image quality you get from Imgur is outstanding.

I too have an account with Photobucket but I don't want to completely abandon it for fear all the photos I've posted all over the place will disappear.

Same here. But I HAVE stopped uploading anything new to my photobucket account.

I have used Flickr for years now. You are limited to 200 pictures (I think) but that has never been a serious problem.

What he said.

I use MyAlbum these days. It's extremely simple and probably a bit outdated (like CivIII, but it's still my favourite) but does exactly what I want it to do and is easy to use.

PS. It's free.

What's wrong with photobucket, used it for years and never had a problem?

I abandoned Photobucket because they kept changing their format, turning it inot some sort of multi-media, multi-purpose, all-singing all-dancing user-unfriendly pile of poo that never seemed to work properly, with photos jamming or getting lost. I wanted a free site to upload pics to and download them from, end of.

This is what Photobucket used to be three or four changes back. It's what MyAlbum is.

That is what I use PB for solely and it works adequately for that. 

Space is a bit small for my uses but it does the job.

I was thinking the other day that it would be great if we could use facebook as a photo hosting site, but it seems photobucket shall keep its hold on me.
