Photohosting - suggestions?

[Ayalah]

What does everyone use for photo hosting? BESIDES Photobucket? I hate photobucket. it makes me want to smash my computer and then dance upon it breathing fire!

There must be something better?

I like flickr -  and I use picasa web albums sometimes too.

I also like imgur.

i use imageshack...don't plan on uploading animated gifs on there though...they want you to upgrade and pay to do that

[Ayalah]

Thank you! I'll have to check these out. I have to switch before PB drives me mad.

I'm afraid I just use photobucket and I loathe it too.

Glad I'm not alone! Why does everyone have to "improve" things?

[DoctorMowinckel]

I pay for my own domain and webspace. A lot of the stuff I host is for business, and I don't want that going to sites with terms of service that say they own whatever you upload.

For things that are one offs, I use imgur and don't even bother logging in. If you're not logged in, you upload something, it gets a random URL, and if you lose that URL, good luck finding your picture. But if you do create an account (it's super easy), you get yourname.imgur.com, and it's painless to manage and keep tabs on your uploads. I'd definitely go for imgur.

I don't really mind Photobucket, but it's horribly slow on my computer, so if I need to upload something quickly, I use Tinypic. It doesn't require an account or anything, just go there, upload your picture, and you're done. ^_^

I was just wondering the same thing, thanks for posting this! 

I hate photobucket because whenever I'm browsing through photos, every 10 or so, it freezes or won't load and I have to refresh.  Very irritating.

[DoctorMowinckel]

Yeah, I think photobucket is unintuitive for everyone. Flickr seems to be the go-to place for people who want to 'share photos', like with friends or family, but if you want a place to dump photos for forums, imgur is where it's at.

[Ayalah]

Yep, Imgur for the WIN! Love it. Thank you!

I'm getting mad at photobcket right now too. Its fine for me for the most part, but since the new year they've been going back to trying their new design and I've been commenting pretty harshly about it when it asks why I switch back to the old version. Finally they have me on the old version automatically when I load but I figure it must be freezing a lot right now because they're messing with the site again. Don't mess with a good thing, its unnecessary.

Thank you so much for posting this! I have decided that I am breaking up with Photobucket. The new format is impossible! I will try Imgur.
