Hi gents, I'm not sure how our photos on posts will fare as Photobucket want to charge too much to have 3rd party hosting. We may lose a lot of our historic
illustrated posts. Does anyone know of a free and better service?
Cheers,

Morning Brian. I see elsewhere people are investigating IMGUR. I need to find some myself as my paid server got discontinued too.

Just a caution.

Many times, free isn't free.

Storing photos on a free server could also mean you are assigning or surrendering your rights to the image.

Good example is FaceBook...any info or pics posted become the property of FaceBook.

Read the fine print and be cautious

MANY possibly most, people already have a hosting site for photos and they don't even know it. If your ISP gives you disk space to host a homepage, that's the same thing as space for hosting photos. And, if you are paying for this service, you have total control over it.

Its like artillery calling for an airstrike.

Best is always the own webspace - but not all have that opportunity. :roll:

Chrome and Firefox both have patches- do a search for "Firefox photobucket extension"... (Or chrome, what have you)
