Title: Photo hosting site?
Post by: Taxi_Driver on 13 February 2011, 19:30:35
I used to use my ISP to host pics....but since i've swapped ISP's, my new ISP doesnt provide free webspace.....so which site is the best to use...that's free.. photobucket??? 

At the moment i only want to upload a pic of Holly Dog  ::)

Photobucket works well. Dropbox works as well, and probably easier once all set up, but can be slow at times.

Flickr and Imageshack always seem to be slow, which causes issues here :(

Photobucket, for sure.

Avoid Photobox - garbage of the highest order

Don't worry about it.  Just need your photos tweeking to get them down to size and you'll be sorted.
Using a photo hosting site does make things a little more difficult as each have their own tools to sort it out.
Unfortunately its not like you can cut and paste or copy onto here direct which can add to the problem.

We've all experienced it.  You could always use the 'test zone' to check it all out before posting for real if it helps  :y

If you resized and reuploaded it is a "different" file .. so you'll have to change the link you used ?? If you've done that it might be cached in various places and take a while to actually chnage.. :)
