    Looking for Photobucket alternatives.

    I wanted to post a photo series of our garden so I uploaded photos [to Photobucket] then copy/pasted the URLs into a post [here], the way I have for years. When I previewed the post, instead of [seeing] each image in its place, I saw a message (paraphrasing here) 'go to Photobucket to update your account for 3rd Party Hosting'. So I went to Photobucket.

    Long story short, they want $39.99/month to let you post photos here or anywhere else for that matter.

    Uh, no. I'll take all my photos and go somewhere else, thank you.

    Woody or anyone else, suggestions for other hosting sites?

    Thanks in advance.

    I saw a person on another forum discussing this but wasn't sure exactly what they were talking about. I guess they have gone to a paid service. Pitty.

    I upload my photos for posting to Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet

    I don't have an account but you can create one and organize your photos. It's simple to use.

    It's used heavily by some social media sites so who knows what you will find on the front page.
    Thanks Everyone!!

    I started using Flickr a year or so ago. May not have spelled it right.

    Yeah, Flickr.

    I usually link photos from Facebook, the downside with this is that they change image links often.

    I just had to go through and download all my pics from photobucket because of this. I went with Imgur now.

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions, I'll check them out. There are 29 gigs worth of photos on my hard drive (all backed up!) so am virtually certain everything on Photobucket exists somewhere else. I'll delete everything then delete my account.

    Thanks again y'all. Woody you can close the ticket.

    I used Smugmug. It's $30 a year and unlimited space. And they have a way to order prints from their site too that's relatively reasonable.
