#1 Image Hosting

Post by Ray P »

Now that photobucket have got so silly with their charging for third party hosting I need to sign-up to an alternative service so I can post links to images of my cycling exploits and audio projects. I only need it for pictures that I want to link to for forums etc, as I have my full albums secured on the cloud. Any recommendations (or ones to avoid)?

Cheers

You can post them directly into the thread, you may need to resize them as the forum has a measly max allowable size IME.

Given that you don't pay the site hosting fees your opinion is just that.

It wasn't my opinion Nick, it was my experience.

Well, in your experience what other sites without adverts let you store images?

I read somewhere (recently) that Imgur had the same terms and conditions as Photobucket. :(

OK for Firefox on OSx it seems I can only get 'Photobucket embeded fix' to work.

Photobucket hotlink fails to work for me.....
