Title: Good photo hosting site?
Post by: DoctorQuest on April 24, 2012, 03:56:26 PM
I used to host my jpgs, etc. on my Cox web space site but they've since closed that down. What do you guys recommend as a good photo hosting site that is easy to use, free and provides a decent amount of storage?

I'd like to be able to post screen shots and the like.

I use Photobucket.

And some Facebook, which exports pictures to a Kodak picture frame my folks have on their network.

For "drop off" photo's to link to elsewhere, I use Photobucket.

For any family private stuff for sharing I use Google Photo's. Used to use Flickr, but they were a pain in arse in the end.

I use ImageShack. It's free as long as yer pics are less than 10MB in size.

Photobucket with the plugin for Firefox is great!

I know I already voted, but I'll +1 the Firefox plugin. I think Command Tent turned me on to it and it rocks.

:'( Forgotten already...

Actually, I've been having trouble with my Firefox lately and I've mostly switch to Chrome. It's fast, secure, and has many cool features. It *does not*, however, have a photobucket plugin. Man oh man do I miss it. Until Chrome gets its own PB widgit I'll still be using FF at least part time.

I've ditched FFfor Chrome as well. I was just getting way to many strange situations and lock-ups. The funny thing is with each new update it seemed to get worse ! I don't find Chrome as fast in some instances, but so far it has been reliable.

About 6 months ago I switched to FF from IE after having the same problems you had with FF.  I haven't had any problems so far and am wondering what took me so long to switch.

You'd be green with envy if you saw the hot 10" VGA Daewoo monitor I used to have - all the chicks wanted me !
