mfitz804 Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Ok, so apparently Photobucket is no longer permitting me to place photos on forums without my paying a $399 annual fee for the privilege. Clearly I am not going to do that, so I am in need of a new photo hosting service. I want a service where I can do essentially what I was doing on Photobucket, which includes: 1. An app where I can upload pictures directly from my phone. 2. The ability to use said app to generate a link I can click and copy and post directly here. 3. Needs to be free. I generally do all of my photo posting from my phone and i don't want to have to take the extra step of logging in to the hosting company's web site, I really want there to be an app. Can anyone suggest such a service?

spudrock512 Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I just recently switched to Flickr. I find it easy to use and the is no pop ups like photobucket had. However, I have not used the phone app, so I don't know how user friendly that is; the website itself is good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted June 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I'm looking at Flickr and it appears to do what I need it to do. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furiousd Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 I almost started this topic last night. The bucket app on Android hadn't been working right for me, so I started populating a Flickr account. It seemed to work much better once I got the hang of it, so I was making a leisurely switch. I guess Photobucket finalized my decision for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the jersey pictures can be replaced, but now I have to find a new picture of Swiss cheese to post when people talk about Swiss players.

TMLFAN Posted June 30, 2017 Report Share Posted June 30, 2017 Flickr is the way to go. Take pictures, upload to Flickr, and post here all done through my phone. Photobucket is trash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Photobucket is trash. Yup, it was simple and the app is great too. It's not exactly clear how to accomplish it from the little symbols on the screen, but I got it figured out now.

jsh139 Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 Yeah, I use Imgur. I do have a flickr account for photography, though. They're both good. And free (for now). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furiousd Posted July 1, 2017 Report Share Posted July 1, 2017 My only beef with imgur is that it's blocked at my work, so people's pics don't display. Heard good things about it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted July 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Nicer than it could have been, at least he left Fokti the option of whether or not to suck it. He didn't make it mandatory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Only because of filters. Those buttholes lost an entire set of pictures of my now-deceased uncle and I at several sporting events. For that...and to borrow a phrase from the great Bruce Dickinson...their souls are gonna burn in a lake of fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Matthews Posted July 21, 2017 Report Share Posted July 21, 2017 Not sure if it's possible, but my Photobucket account might be grandfathered in, because my photos are still showing my for sale thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe anything already in your account is OK. I uploaded new photos the other day and they would not work in eBay due to the updated policy. On to Flickr I guess...

I just dumped Photobucket completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will take all new pictures of my collection when I have time, right now I am just using it for sale ads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
