I have accounts with Blue Melon, Image Shack, Photobucket, Imgur and a bunch of others but I'm using Flickr exclusively. Their free accounts offer a massive one terabyte of storage AND they do not compress your images. What you store there can be retrieved with the same quality you stored it.

Sam , @linette , do you have to be a photographer to use Flickr? I have been having such a nightmare with my photobucket; took me almost three hours to upload over 100 photo's. I am also assuming Flickr is free? @barromad, Nope, you don't have to be a photographer to have an account at Flickr although there are LOTS there but, I didn't know that until AFTER I registered an account there. lol I just wanted some place to store all my photos that had at least one code I can use to post/share them in forums. You'll love Flickr! If you open an account there can I follow you, we can follow each other?

Excellent, oh you're on your which reminds me, at google play you'll also find that Flickr has their own app to load pics from your phone as well. So, you will have access to flickr by phone and laptop/desktop.

@linette, do you know if photobucket has changed their policy again? Just to see, I logged in to an old account there. My log in was successful, I was able to view all the photos stored there and I was also able to copy the link and put a photo up here just like always. test photobucket test

Sorry photobucket but I find Photo.Google.com a lot quicker and easier to use and covered a lot of my photos ove now.

Morning les, and mic, I've read a good bit of the complaints from user of photobucket about being shut out of their account unless they opened a paid account. Most of photobucket's issue was with hot linking I think. Mic, like you, I hadn't been to photobucket since I opened an account with flickr. It was my understanding that I would not be able to open my account or retrieve any of the photos I have stored with photobucket. I tried yesterday and it worked just like it always had. I had no issues with login or copying and pasting a link to bring a photo from photobucket here. So I'll check periodically or read some more about photobucket I guess. mic, the photo is just a random shot I picked to see if the link worked here. It did. The bird is a female Cardinal that I snapped through the kitchen window a few years back.

Sam; As far as I know of they haven't changed a thing there and they probably thought you forgot about them so they left you in the loop of things. Eventually they will catch up to you as well, Elaine has an account with them as well either and she rarely if ever goes there she only just went their recently to check and see if she has access to her images and stuff there as well as links but, they haven't touched her at all. I have no idea what's up with PB and people who rarely if ever check their accounts, maybe they're only going after the active accounts.

Les, all my old photobucket pics are like that now. Any photos you have here should be ok, but if you posted a link, if it is to photobucket, it will probably have their logo on it.
