Photo hosting

27 Sep 2017, 12:56pm
Anyone have any suggestions for an easy to use photo hosting site?

I don't want to use photobucket due to them playing silly buggers. I have tried Flickr but find it quite hard to use.

I'm starting a new project and could do with something quick and easy to use so I can bore you all to death.

Hi there

This is easy to use , and no problems so far.

https://postimages.org/

Use Direct link for pictures to show in a Forum post.

I'll give it a go

Uploading my pictures to postimage seems quite easy.
To post a picture from post image, just select the image then click on share, then copy hotlink for forums

[url=https://postimages.org/]

Seems to work and if I can work it, anyone can.

Thanks for the info.

Well that lasted all of 10 minutes. My trial post worked straight away and was easy to do.
I have now tried a post but the pictures are not showing on postimage. They are just showing as blank with no image but the image has the description and if you click on the share button it is all there........except for the picture. Any ideas? using Safari on an Imac.

And I have just noticed that the pictures have disappeared from here as well.
Update, the pictures have all just reappeared, maybe a one of glitch but will keep an eye out for it happening again. Hopefully it won't as the site is much easier to use than Flickr.

Well on FF and Linux at moment.

Just occasionally I have a problem where it does not offer me the Direct Link to the picture or they are very slow to upload.

However not paying for it so put up with it's little foibles :-)
