image hosting

B2AUDI80 · 18-01-14, 01:03 PM

ive been using imgur.com now for about 3yrs , but have decided to start using either flickr or photobucket maybe , any tips on which one is easiest to use ?? i have over 700 images on imgur but only see 225 at any one time , i have a few project threads now to sort in the next few weeks and loads of pics hence the reason for going to flickr or photobucket , whats the pros and cons of each site ??

cheers Willie

opened a flickr account there today but maybe im spoiled with using the imgur for so long as it doesnt seem as handy at all or user friendly , it will have to do for now

Flickr has become very slow and cumbersome of late, someone suggested Instagram although I haven't tried it yet.

ive come to realise that a lot of image hosting sites seemed to have changed a bit lately , not always for the better it seems

i think i have an account with most of them now lol and still ended up back with the original one i used, its changed now too and isnt as good a before

I am on photo bucket - have a big library, never had any issues. Another way is dropbox?

i find photobucket a bit on the slow side and the library is a pain in the arse as it seems to store your oldest and newest photos all over the place, rather than in strict date based order. it would probably help if, unlike me you made up lots of different albums that just one gigantic one!!

imgur has always been handy but ive been randomly loosing images at times or been in threads ive posted in and find that the image no longer exists, only ever was able to view 225 images at a time too out of the 1000 or so I have on it

Have a look at this one.

I've only ever had a couple of hundred images on here at a time
but seems ok and when I delete images they stay on the forums!

Does for me, and nice and simple.

Simples!
