I am not computer literate and would like peoples opinions on the different photo hosting services and comparative ease of use please. Thank you Phil

Photobucket is very user friendly, and free. Many here use it, including me.

+1 on photobucket. I use it also

+3 for Photobucket, though I find the ads to be irritating. But that's what you get for free...they gotta pay the bills somehow!

I've been putting off using PhotoBucket but I signed-up just now. Navigation, uploading, labeling and organizing images seems easier. I'll see how it goes.

I've been using Photobucket for years. It's very easy to use, makes posting pictures here a snap. It's basic services are free, as there is a limit to monthly bandwidth and total storage. For the average poster, the free account is all you'll ever need.

A few years ago I started having issues with exceeding my monthly bandwidth, which shuts down your account till the next month starts, and I've come very close to using up my free storage, so I had to start to delete old pictures.
I signed up for their Plus20 account, which has unlimited bandwidth, and a huge increase in storage for just $2.99/month that I use auto pay for.

I have anikon photo camera and am using the nikon image space.

I am moderately happy with it.

By far and away the easiest host to use is imgur You don't even need to create an account to host some images. On the top right you'll see a button that says 'upload photos' click that - the really nice part is that you can upload multiple pictures at once. So find the files you want and hold control (command on Macs) and click each image you want to upload and click open or okay (whichever the context button says bottom right. On the screen that opens now, click 'begin upload.'

Your photos will upload, you can scroll through them at the top, you'll see the various types of coding listed on the right, you can one-click copy these. You can click the white 'BB code' tag to the left of the BB Code script which this forum uses, then come back to your post and Edit>copy or control/command-V

Thank you to all who replied. Cheers Phil

Phil,
So which one did you decide on?
Joel

Hi Joel the consensus seems to be photobucket so I will go that way. Cheers Phil

I've been using photobucket for a few years now, never had a problem and very easy to navigate.
