So wouldn't pay photobucket after they started the bully plan, what is the most common to use besides that's easy to post pic's with, flickr or what works.

If you are just talking about posting to this board they host pictures here. Just start your own in members gallery.

If you are talking more general all around, I cant help, but I'm sure plenty of people will chime in.

Most pic's I post are my builds but do take the other odd pic's I find so guess general useage, photobucket worked fine but no more so noticed others were using flickr and other so just seeing what works but will use our site also, thanks.

I use flickr with good results but my fear is that they will all eventually go to some form of plan similar to what Photobucket did. Hopefully if they do, they will realize the $400 asking price from PB is highway robbery and will offer more reasonable plans. If not, there's going to be waves of ruined forum posts. To counter that, at least on this forum, I have switched to uploading my photos to the member gallery here. It's somewhat tedious to upload a bunch of photos at once, but at least you know as long as the forum is here so too will be your photos.

Thank you both, was thinking Flickr may go the same way so figured best to ask those in the know 1st, will try our gallery first and go from there.

I use faststone image viewer on my computer , is easy to organize and have folders and can crop and draw and is free with no ads and I have had it for over 15 years

I've used Flickr for a couple years and like it. If they change to a fee, I'd be done with them too.

I have never heard of fastone, will look into it as for flickr seems good but just waiting to see if the follow FB and go the cash route, doesn't seem to be much else except this site.
Thanks for the input from everyone so far.

I save mine in my gmail account, a cloud the company maintains and on my hard drive. I load them on a flash drive once in a while in case of a crash.
