highwayone Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Probably covered on here somewhere but trying to put pictures on a listing and photobucket is being a right tw#t!! Is there any better sites to use? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beely Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I have just given up on Photobucket. Utter crap now. I am now using Dropbox. Much, much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ped Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I've mentioned it elsewhere but imgbb is my fave. There are lots to choose from but many make grabbing the BBcode a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Imgur works well for me on here. Know what you mean about photobucket, really hard work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobthedog Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 I use pBase. Very happy with it although it does cost money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

highwayone Posted August 16, 2017 Author Share Posted August 16, 2017 [quote name='hiram.k.hackenbacker' timestamp='1502925488' post='3354490'] Imgur allows you to post pictures. Once you've uploaded a photo, click on it, then click the Direct Link tab on the right. Paste that into the picture link thingy on BC and away you go.

xgsjx Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 (edited) & if imgur starts messing up, try Flickr. Gonna have a look at imgbb myself. Edited August 17, 2017 by xgsjx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 The only downside I've found with Imgur is their chaotic, unreliable album arrangement; the pics just do what they want, it seems. The only downside I've found with Flickr is their verbose BBCode, which contains links back to their site which I don't want, so I strip 'em off by hand. Imgbb doesn't propose albums, so I don't use it, but at least it's simple to use, which is a Good Thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I only use picture hosting sites for the 'throwaway' images used on forums etc so the lack of features on imgbb I actually find a bonus. All I want to do is upload a pic or some pics and immediately get the BBcode for pasting into a forum. I don't want a direct link, HTML, any of that.

[/quote] Exactly. The hosting site has to fit one's personal needs; the 'features' must be those wanted; no more and no less. Imgbb is fine for 'one-off' picture posting, less friendly for archiving or 'cloud' storage. I'm more of a 'squirrel', so like to find things months or years later and re-use 'em, though, hence the use of albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Burrito Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I'm another former Photobucket user who, upon advice on Basschat, defected to Imgur. I prefer it massively, although I don't host many photographs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
