Hi guys,
            just wondered which photo hosting sites are the most popular on here? I've been using photobucket but I'm not too keen on the fact that the link gives access to all your pictures. Any suggestions for easy to use ones that only allow the chosen pics to be viewed?

Cheers Jim

I use www.photobucket.com works for me

All I'd say is that of you have albums you want private I think you can apply a password so they remain private?

Photobucket used to offer that not sure if its now limited to full members?

I use www.photobucket.com works for me  

Agreed

I think the point that mijfife is making is that photobucket allows access to all of your pics

Agreed

Same here

Yep Bo Bo, that was the point i was trying to make   I know it's easy to use, even for someone as computer illiterate as me, but I'm looking for something that I can control the pics I was to show to different people, if such a thing exists.

Cheers Jim

The bucket is usually the best. Not used it myself but everyone i know that doesn't have almost unlimited hosting at their disposal raves about it.

youll get webspace with your provider, i use my own webspace seeing as i pay for it and its just sitting there. i think you get about 50 meg with mine (tiscali) - have total control over the html and javascipt, pictures everything really. just need a free FTP tool and there are a few available from CNET etc. easy peesy.

Picasa now have a web album via google where you can control who sees your pics

Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll have another look at photobucket (thanks for the info Andy) and failing that I might try the others too

Apart from learning about omegas, I'm getting a lot of great help with my PC as well. Cheers guys.

PS. Since I joined the forum, my one-fingered typing skills have improved beyond recognition as well (gotta be quick with you fellas)
