what photo hosting website do you use?
facebook recently changed the way the photo albums are viewed, and i can't seem to link to them any more. can't link to my .mac site, either.

1. I use Photobucket
The biggest selling point for Photobucket is the price is right (it's free).

5. With the free account a user can have only up to five images, & advertisements
will drive you crazy.

The premium costs around $20/yr., but it includes unlimited images, photo editing (almost as good as photoshop), & has direct photo-sharing links to Facebook & MySpace.

6. That's odd, my account has 23 right now, and I plan on adding more
The pop up ads and non-stop side bar ads are a bit annoying.

8. Well, I feel like a sucker. Before I opened an account on my iPhone I read
somewhere in their rules about a limit of 5. I paid for the premium, which eliminated all the annoying flashing ads & improved the speed.

I should have asked the Lounge, like mopinko did. :silly:

12. Here's the trick with Facebook images
Using the Firefox Browser > Click on your chosen photo > Refresh the page > Right-Click the image and choose "View Image" from the drop-down menu > Voila!

13. Photobucket
Edited on Sun Jun-05-11 01:01 PM by bluedigger
I have 515 photos on Pb and there are no limits to free accounts. There is a 10GB monthly limit on bandwidth, but I can't imagine that being a problem unless you do videos.
