Photobucket sucks. Any possible free alternatives for picture hosting?

[ssevasta]

I think most people would agree with me that photobucket is trash, when it's not redirecting you to some ad falsely claiming you won something it's not properly displaying your pictures. Do you guys know of any good alternative sites that our forum members could use that's free as well as quick and easy to use? If we get some good suggestions then maybe we could get a mod to sticky the thread because it would be really nice if our members adopted a superior service.

Al, our forum owner likes Flickr.

I use Flickr as well, it's one of the better ones. Gives much better image resolution too and holds quality unlike photobucket.

When I click on the share arrow it brings up a box to share on twitter, facebook, ect. Does not have the BBCode link. The only url in the box is this https://www.flickr.com/photos/152444223@N07/shares/k399KY

Mine doesn't look like yours.

I just checked in my account ,,... this is because you are in camera roll View Larry... If you view the image from photostream you should see what I posted..

That did it. I uploaded the pics but hadn't created any albums. When I put them in a album then the box had the extra links.

Thanks Al!!
