Photo hosting revisited

General Discussion General Modeling Discussion

I used Photobucket for well over a decade until they pulled their little stunt.

I know there were threads discussing this at the time, but now that there has been some time for people to experiment, I’m curious to know which alternatives are working out for people.

While free is always nice I don’t mind a reasonable annual fee for a service that works well.

I guess one benefit to not getting anything built for the past 12-18 months is I’ve had no real need to find a new photo hosting service. I’m hoping to change that in the coming year.

Most tinypic.com posts I’ve made years ago on a Susan Boyle fansite years ago are still up; I’d used ctrlq.org/images to post most of my model pix on the Regia Aeronautica Italia collection thread.

Switched to Flickr before the PB episode, free and i have had no issues with it. Works better than PB ever did.

I use Flickr also and find it easier to use the PB.

I switched to Fotki and like it.

Costs about $ 20 a year. Easy to use, fast, no ads whatsoever.

I tried postimage, and liked it, so now that is what I have used. Free, faster than photobucket, and the linked images can be seen by everyone, so far. I tried a couple others before I did postimage, and for those, only about half of the responders could see my images.

the same as don , postimage is way quicker than photobucket , and way easier too .

Still on Photobucket,no problems,I think I have till Dec 2018 on my current .99 cent a month plan.Have not decided what I will do yet.

I use Postimage because I like the fact my photos don’t expire unless you choose it to before posting.

10

Expire? Does Flickr have this option too? It might be me, but why would you want your shots to expire?

I haven’t pulled out of photobucket yet because of a lot of things going on, I’m also not going to pay them either, so I need to find another place to go.

After the PB fiasco, I started to use my Flickr account more but I never liked it much, it just seemed too much like Facebook and I didn’t like the multiple processes it took to set up and manage personal folders and try to link with Google Drive. I settled on Imageshack with a 5yr plan that was around $25. I like it for its been pretty strait forward in managing my folders and plays really nice with Google Drive.

In the immediate aftermath of PBgate, I saw probably a dozen or more solutions being tossed around, ranging from fairly technical to alternate photo hosting site.

Thank you, this gets my options into something more managable with only 3 or 4 to sort through.

I am liking what I see so far with postimage as it seems to be a no frills program targeted specifically at hosting photos for forums and that is really all I want a hosting service for.

After Photobucket turned into an X- wife demanding custody of all you’re comic books,I switched to postimage.org.

No problems, but you can’t post video. There are a few ad’s ( nothing like Photobucket) And most of the ad’s are aimed at men… so be carful where you click…you may have some “esplanen” to do if the wife creeps up behind you.

Super easy to use and I give it 9/10 star’s.

I was going to start a new thread but this thread seems like a good way to post this question. I know it’s been gone over before. How do you post images from Flickr to this site? I have been using Use.com but it looks a little archaic. I have a Flickr account. Can someone tell me exactly what I have to do cuz I cannot figure it out. Thanks!
