    I've notice that it seems alot ppl here use photobucket to post imagaes on the forums. I'm wondering why that is? I don't know much about uploading photos so im probably missing something. I thought that flickr was a better and more popular service. I dont really post pics online but that going to change soonish as i want to take photography as a hobby, so like like to know why you use the service u use.

    So what photo service do u use and why?

    Erm, it saves it.

    So if my comp crashes again, at least I'll still have my pictures there. Lol.

    I use Flickr for personal stuff but for stuff I post on the web, I use whatever I can get to work.

    I just never sticked around with Flicker.

    That's why I use Photobucket.

    And I think Photobucket sounds prettier somehow:rolleyes:

    I don't know really, I've just always used a private Photobucket to post images. I've considered getting a Flickr, but didn't get around to it.

    I'm a huge fan of photobucket. I use it for everything I post on the internet, and it has never given me any problems. It's also very easy to organize, and I've never had problems logging in or adjusting my albums. They are an awesome web-photo service provider! [​IMG]

    I usually put photos in my gallery here and link to them.

    I totally forgot about this until I went looking through my photobucket. To the mods - If you like any of my emoticons you are welcome to use any of them, as they were all created by me and I own all the rights to them! Also if you'd like more, I can make them quite easily.

    I just use the free space that I get with my ISP. It isn't very much but it is enough to host what I need. By the time I need to start deleting images, they've usually fallen so deep in the pages of threads that they aren't worth keeping around. If I ever need to post an entire gallery of images and need to keep it around for a fair amount of time I'll probably just find a decent web host one day.

    I use my website, because it's free :slight_smile:

    (not free free, but other than domain registration, free)

    i think they're two entirely different beasts

    flickr is mainly for photographers to share their stuff whereas photobucket is generally used to upload just about anything

    I never liked Photobucket as my bandwidth always would run out when I used it. Right now, I use FileDen to upload anything that I want to be ...well... uploaded.
