Photobucket alternative

David3807 · 28th June 2007, 16:20

Can anyone suggest a suitable alternative for Photobucket.

I have uploaded a number of pics to PB but in some cases the thumbnail shown is not that of the pic you get when you click on it. Not very useful when I want to list a few things on e bay !!!

I am not near my upload limit and the uploaded pics are of the appropriate size for PB.

Any thoughts or suggestions for another free program ??

A quick Google search:

Also, your ISP provides you with free web space too ~ typically around 50Mb

Doh !!!! Why didnt I think of that ???

When youve got your head buried in a computer and it doesnt seem to co operate its sometimes difficult to see the obvious !!

Thanks very much Tatts.

I'm surprised your having trouble with Photobucket however??
I have oodles of pics stored online there, and find their service exceptional, and the more recent easy links are a real plus point.
Each to his or her own however, Its not for everyone

I am a member of a watch collectors forum (sad, but true). I use 'Image Cave' to host all my pictures. It's good and of course it's free.

Thanks for all the info.

Dont thing my problem was with Photobucket now. I have been using Opera as my defaut browser for some years upgrading as and when new versions were offered.

I had noticed a slowing down with Opera over the past few months getting worse with each newer version. Quick change to Firefox over the weekend seems to have cured a number of problems including the PB problem!!

Thanks again

Glad to hear all sorted and working again.
Still think Photobucket is a great Free Asset.

Photo Hosting is one of those get it right first time type things

I use Photobucket a lot now after originally subscribing to Midnight Photos which is often up and down like a yoyo many of my Howto pics link to that site

and they would take ages to edit if it dissapears completely hence switching to Photo Bucket.
