My opinion of free image hosting services is that you get what you pay for, and after that you get the high hard one.

Everyone knows the shenanigans that photobucket pulled with their free site.
Then tinypic went belly up. I was using that one and now I'm in the process of re-uploading all of my pics to photobucket's pay service and a major thread rebuild.

If you have pics that you want online for the long haul... for the little bit it costs to use a pay service... well worth it...

I use Google photos for long term storage, auto downloads my phone pics when I open app. For forum posting I upload to imgbb.com, this is a small hassle but painless so far.

I don't really know if PhotoBucket has improved, but I always had a PhotoBucket Pro pay account and the last two years of fooling with their changes Photobucket sucked...finally threw in the towel. Very clunky, dropped their great "image edit for dummies" feature, no real tech support. If it's improved that's good to hear. As far as PostImage being free...all I use it for is to create a URL for an image. I don't store images there. So what do I have to lose? I don't use PostImage because it's free, I use it because it is so easy, quick, and simple to use. But whatever people want to use is great.

I just screen shot everything i put on here. I dont have any problems getting them on here. Still cant figure out how to get the picture up on it's own without clicking on it 1st.

I just screenshot them and download from my phone. I dont use any other site any more. I did imgur at 1st bit I find this easier. The times it would help to figure it out. Is times like side by side pictures to compare. Others on here have fixed them for me before. I dont do it on a computer either sending have the right click option.

Sprkplug,

I didn't know you had left. I spend a fair amount of time digging through the archives and it seems like you are always here. Your signature gave me a chuckle today. Thank you for that.

No offense taken. Just that I was posting desktop instructions when you post only by phone. No worries, really, your response did save me some time working on something that wasn't helping.

Yes mine is a galaxy- I have to screenshot it 1st then switch to full reply screen-file manager- then choose file - this will be different for all phones mine is under file and the images. Then you have to click add then done choosing files. Might sound hard but it's really pretty easy after the 1st time. I Hope's this helps everyone.

I have tried everything to post pics, actually exactly like you showed from my iphone, also from my pc, but all my phone pics are too big even after editing, to post, if I crop them down enough to work there's no picture left, for the life of me I cant figure out how you guys post great big nice color pictures and I can draw a picture with crayolas and it tells me its too big, beats the heck out of me, I thought I was a wee bit tech savvy but I guess not so much.
I finally got one to post from my game camera that had less megapixels I guess.

You should have something similar to this to change your settings when in camera mode. From low image quality to high.

Tried the screen shot, still tells me it encountered a problem, the file won't fit the perimeters set.

$3/month for photo bucket. That’s about what I donate here. It’s very easy.. even for me.

RES, YP, GS, FHM (no longer), HBG (going away), SMB, and HSB (only one seen in 5 yrs) Restocked HSB (2020) Have seen one of these.
I think that's about all I should put in my little pond.

First off I want to say I am not tech savvy at all. Not even a little bit, but I post pics from my iPhone. I had an old iPhone four and never could get it to work. My phone quit working so I had to get an iPhone ten x?? Or something? But I was having problems with pics being to large so I go to my photos click on it email it to myself, that way I change it to a smaller size and then I go to the full screen thing and it works, just writing this makes me wonder if I could post pics again or I just got lucky posting pics for a couple weeks. Bottom line if a guy like me can do it, someone a hell of a lot smarter can explain how to do it.

P. S. I wish I still had my brick Nokia phone yet. I loved pranking my buddies yelling awful stuff on the push to talk feature.
Ahhh the good old days

Both my kids are IT professionals and recommended Imgur. Anybody disagree with using this photo site?

That's why I use an image hosting service. The software automagically adjusts the picture size to post on a UBB forum, and then you can click the pic to open it full size in a new browser tab.

Yeah, it costs a little bit, but I use it for other stuff besides posting here, so to me it's worth what I pay for it, at least for now anyway.

If I was starting over, I’d definitely go with a no cost option. But I’ve got pictures in photobucket that have been there for years. Tied to posts from camping, hunting, motorcycles, and pond building. If I tried to switch now every post would be picture free. I guess I’m locked in. For $2.99 a month I’ll live with it. wink

I just left my old pics in Photobucket and started from there with Imgur. Not interested in putting new pics in an outfit that offers up surprises like that. Probably will have no effect on such behavior, but at least I am not rewarding them.

I'll ask the obvious question...what keeps the other, currently free, sites from following Photobucket's "Bait and Switch" scheme sometime in the future? Especially, if Photobucket is successful with this strategy.
