A decent (easy to use) alternative to Flickr
-
Hi all.
Just out of curiosity, what sites do you use to upload your photos onto PI? I have been using Flickr, but since it changed recently, I’ve been having issues with it & would like to try an alternative hosting site that is easy to use. Any ideas? :? Thanks.I used to use Photobucket, didnt have any issues with it, but when I joined a camera
club they used Flickr and I changed to them.Take a look at Ipernity, pretty much Flickr the way it should have been, before their facelift. I don’t like the changes at Flickr personally, but if simply looking for a site to host and post your images on forums, then if you can overcome your issues with it, it might still be a good option.
I use 500px myself, and like most things about it, aside from the fact all thumbnails are square.
Need to sort out somewhere to host my images myself after letting my 500px membership elapse so I could look at alternatives. Smugmug is one to consider also, but like Ipernity & 500px, its a paid membership.
If you’re looking for a free site other than Flickr, there’s always Google+, although I haven’t used it much, as I like my anonymity a little too much to have my full name so freely visible to all and sundry out there on the web, which Google+ seems to require.
Will be interested to keep an eye on the thread, as really need to sort myself out online with regard to my image hosting and presentation once I get my own images in order.
Redbubble not too bad, and you can sell prints, cards etc through it too.
Thanks Jenny, Murchu & Aidy. At this point, I’m so annoyed with Flickr, I’ve just deleted all my images from my account & don’t think I’ll be posting any more on it. :twisted:

I was never a fan of Flickr and could never understand why it was getting so much praise down the years. I have been using Flickr only occasionally and am migrating over to Ipernity as I write. Much more relaxed atmosphere there, and no ego trips! Now if I could only figure out how to post an image from my albums that are on it!!.. :D
I’ve decided to try postimage.org as it seems to be the simplest to use. There doesn’t appear to be any BS attached & it shows the links for posting to other sites. Let’s hope it works as easily as I feel it should.
This is my first go at using it.
