Dragonlover Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Questions in the thread title really. I vaguely remember hearing something about it turning rubbish, is that just me hallucinating again? If it is crap now, where's best to use? Dragonlover P.S - The PCA link here is that I just signed up for the Call, and have no idea where to host my stuff.

Dosjetka Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 The annoying thing with Photobucket is the bandwidth allowance. I would personally use Imgur or Flickr.

Grotsmasha Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 The bandwidth is really only an issue if your posting the same stuff on multiple forums frequently, I've been using Photobucket since the B&Cs crash and have never had an issue. I find it's interface and usability very user friendly. I use apps to upload straight from my phone, and getting to links is straight forward. The only thing to be mindful of is to set up albums and organise prior to posting as moving the images later will nuke the links.

The_Chaplain Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I'm going to disagree with Ludovic's suggestion of relying solely on something like Flickr- in my personal experience using that website (flickr) to post images to this board: roughly 50% of the images are not accepted when I paste the image code on the B&C. Multiple photo hosting accounts, as annoying as it is, covers all your bases so you can get your pics onto the website in a variety of ways in case the b&c coder doesn't like one of the options.

Dosjetka Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I've never had a problem with Flickr, but I can appreciate the fact that it may not be the same story for others.

Firepower Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I just use the B&C, especially now that the speed issues are resolved :D But I also keep my pics saved in a folder on my desktop, just in case. I actually have lost one image that I can't seem to find again anywhere, and that has me a little ticked off, seeing as I lost the source material as well. :( Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/281841-is-photobucket-still-the-go-to-for-image-hosting/#findComment-3493882 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fibonacci Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I've never had a problem with Flickr, but I can appreciate the fact that it may not be the same story for others. Same here. I have put family photos on Flickr for years with no problems.

Dragonlover Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 Well Flickr wouldn't let me sign up, so I went for Imgur. That said, I have a Photobucket account, and since I only plan on posting here, it'll be my first port of call.

Fibonacci Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 That's cool. I think they all work as well as any other. It just depends on what you are comfortable using.
