Any suggestions on a new photo hosting site?

Photobucket has been going to shite for a couple of years. This will finally make me leave.

Just posted on the tech board thread. Photobucket had already become a horrendous user experience before this.

Imgur is a far better host.

Your stuff is still showing up as photobucket links. I just switched to imgur or whatever, and it's working.

I was using photobucket and my images started not showing up. I just tried imgur and nothing is coming up.

Can anyone offer a suggestion? Something I might need to do that I am missing?

For Imgur, you need to copy/paste the direct link (the one ending with .png, .jpg, whatever) in order for it to display properly. If you use the one under "Image Link", you're just linking to a page with the image on it, not the image itself.

Photobucket is a pain in the arse, and not just for this.

I moved my stuff over to imgur.

Photobucket doesn't allow nudes and porn and forces users to pay for things.

Imgur is completely free and allows nudes and porn.

Hmmmmm, such a hard decision........

How does one do this? Can you do so all at once?

Thanks

I never had a Photobucket account, so I can't speak to getting your stuff off of there, but if you try to post a PB pic directly on Imgur (and most likely any other hosting site, for that matter), you'll just get the PB dial of death. The best bet is probably to download your pics first, then re-upload them to Imgur. A pain, I know, but PB hasn't left their users with a lot of options.

ETA: Just saw that Chicken is getting ready to remove PB from the list of approved image hosting sites, because of all the images that were affected. I know most PB users are about to switch anyway, but just a heads up.

I could not figure out how to move everything. I changed from PHotobucket to Ingur.... I just moved the few images over that were important at the time. Avi, sig images, good porn.....

If someone finds a way to move them easily, Id love to hear it..

I'm just hoping PB sees how big of a mistake this was and changes course.
