Flickr Test (http://www.flickr.com/photos/fracster/6856394130/) by Fracster (http://www.flickr.com/people/fracster/), on Flickr

Photobucket is another viable option and I can show you the basics of doing that if anyone wants.

The upside to off forum hosting is that it does not munch Andys bandwidth.

Downside is that if you delete photos from Flickr or wherever, then they disappear from any threads you have posted them in.

Thanks Fracster, i use photobucket ,i have noticed pics hosted on Flicker seem to retain a lot better quality when posted, i was planning on switching to flicker when i update my camera.

Flickr keeps quality better deffo.

Over here if British Telecom are your ISP you get a free flickr Pro account, BT are my ISP so I have no idea on the charges or quantity allowed before being charged. I know photobucket is free, there s also 500px,imgur and many others available for free.


Thanks Todd,Andy, nice to give something back.

Photobucket was ok, but is now weighed down severely with ads unless you subscribe. I find it very slow to use now so have just changed over to Flickr.

Did have a Photobucket account but found the site crashed or not available at times. Moved to Flickr a couple of months ago, much better service for sure.

i agree. flicker is the better option
