Who knows of other sites to store pictures? PB now wants 400.00 a year for 3rd party photo use. I guess they will be out of business soon.

If you read their site's information, you can link photos like we've been doing for $100/year, but that's still really crummy of them. They get us to store and link a bunch of photos, and then essentially hold the links ransom. I tested Google Photo and it works OK, but you have to know how to get the photo URL and put it in a post.

The best solution is to let the board host the photos, using the upload feature. Then we're not dependent on an outside site, which can always disappear at some unknown time.

I looked at one of my old posts on this site and the photobucket hosting is still working.

Seems like Google Drive will be the place to go for free hosting going forward.

I suspect they'll catch us guys that still have it working eventually. It seems like they might be looking at the amount of linking going on, and picking off the high numbers first.

Stay in it when it comes on the pipe, no need to be scared...

Reading further, it looks like I was wrong. With the $100 plan you can use linking, but that seems to be just putting a link to your photos on a forum post. Actually displaying the photo seems to require the $400 plan. As if they're going to get a lot of people paying that.

FLICK that noise and photobucket as well.

If I need to post pictures I use my own domain.
Its a lot less per year to have a domain and store anything you want there.
Free email accounts with your domain extension.
ie. yourname@chowderheadtriplelover.com
Front Page and other extensions work fine for creating web pages or even a website of sorts.
Ask me if you are interested, I have no interest in referring anyone to my host.
If some one was interested I can point them in the right direction, thats all.

Now that this site can host its own photos, why use a separate hosting site?
