Photobucket alternative ?

Mark e90 · 03-19-2017, 02:53 PM

Does anyone have any suggestions on a better way to upload photos to forums other that Photobucket ?

I just find it very slow and clunky plus the ads are a real pain !

try imgur.com, I can't remember what's it like (only tried it once a while ago) but it seems to be popular with forums. I like photobucket but it can be very laggy.

I use Imgur a lot. Really handy as it gives you links with auto added img tags for forums.

Google Photos is also pretty decent.

I used to use Photobucket but it has gone down the toilet over the last few years. Whoever is in charge of the UI needs shooting. It's painfully slow.

Why not just upload directly on here from your computer?

I like having all images in one place, organized into folders. One click and you have the share link, copy and paste and you're done.

I always wondered the same.....is it because you can remove all pictures more easily? i.e invalidate the link?

A lot of forums don't allow to upload pics direct and until I read this topic I didn't even know this forum has this option.
