Photobucket Alternatives

Imgur does work and much better than Photobucket. I wish I wouldn't have tried another service yesterday and get an illiteracy infraction in the classifieds.

IF you don't get your winky smacked every now and again then you're not trying

Just switched to Imgur myself. Seems to work fine and it is free. Honestly, in my initial usage, I like it much better than Photobucket which had gotten so slow and full of ads. Time to move on, and the $399 price was just the nail in the coffin. Glad I switched.

My understanding is that Vbulletin charges more for forums based on how much memory they use on their site. Without linking to an outside photo host, it uses a lot of memory to load photos to the forum. I'm an admin on another forum that is hosted by vbulletin, and this is what that forum owner told me a long time ago.

You can upload pictures from your computer to this site if you use the icon above your message posting area to insert an image. They have to be clicked on to be enlarged, but you can load directly to the site.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't work in the classifieds though.

You could be right. I haven't tried doing it that way there.

I've tried it there but not recently. I got nothing for the classifieds so I'll find out eventually for my self or by some other INGO member.

I use Smugmug. They charge $30 a year I believe. It is very easy to use and they have a really good app for phones also. Simple to use and no ads.

Postimages.org looks like it's going to work out for my needs.

They will cut you off eventually. I just lost my access yesterday.

Yea, you can use your INGO Album, just make sure you have the corresponding Folder/Pic set to Public, not Private

IMGUR is stupid easy to use, though. I can literally host a pic there, and have a link on here in about 30 seconds.

Well lets try a tinypic.com image for fun and see how long this stays up. It's even in a folder called AR15. It's a horrible site. No Android app support and saturated with ads.

Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

Just signed up today and DELETED my photobucket account today as well.
They **** the bed with the $400 a year extortion bull****.

Works WELL.

Just buy your own hosting package. I spend less than $25 per year. I just sign up with a new reseller yearly and get the intro pricing.

Exactly. We had this discussion the last time this subject came up to. People seem to be intimidated by the idea though.

Tinypic worked for a couple weeks after Photobucket shut me down, but they too started blocking eventually.

I am using Imgur right now and it works great! Let's hope that they don't pull the same shenanigans in the near future.

When I try to use imgur, I can post a link, but not a photo. Hiw are you guys posting actual photos with imgur? Tiny pic is owned by photobucket, so I expect them to shut everybidy out too.
