....have been using it quite happily for past few years, but of late it seems a bit flaky. Can you guys suggest an easy to use alternative? - Cheers.
Yes sir re.... Photobucket held out until I had 40,000 images in their free site. Then they tried to blackmail me at the cost of 440.00 a year. I told them to get bent and lost my links to thousands of posts between 5 forums. Recently they gave me a rate of 4.99 a month. I jumped on it, then figured out a way through google chrome to download my 40,000 hostage images back to my computer.I like Flickr, has been around a long time, and offers full resolution uploads.
You will get 1000 free images.
Be afraid of any completely free image hosting site.... VERY AFRAID!

I'm a little confused. Maybe I'm about to learn something.
My loss of the photo's, that I posted to my threads, were never lost from my computer.
They all have always been there...never lost to postimage. going down.
I guess maybe they were lost, if you consider they couldn't be opened/recovered while viewing the threads.
My only problem was I couldn't at first, while trying to locate/save 'the threads content', find 'which photo' went with which post #.
I have always had all the photo's, still on my computer.
My confusion comes, when others, seem to have lost their photos from their computer.
How does that happen ?
What am I missing?
What is different ?
I'm glad you were able to recover them. I don't have the mass of photo work you have compiled.With my situation Ed it was foolishness on my part. I trusted Photobucket to ba a well known standup site not going to take advantage of me. I didn't have my photos backed up anywhere since i thought Photobucket was my backup. Never again. Live and learn. (Seems to be the story of my life) I wouldn't have it another way. I'm not afraid of failing, this is how I know how to do many things. No fear of failing. By failing this time I learned how to retrieve my photos from Photobucket when they didn't want me to.
