Best photo sharing site?
 
Hey gang! I'm finally ready to post my pictures from WDW, and I wondered what people like in the way of a photo sharing site. I'd like ease of use for me, coupled with attractive interface for you. On my first attempt, with flick'r, I ran into capacity issues. Was I doing something wrong? Shutterfly seemed to offer unlimited space, so, of course, I wondered what was the catch? I have lots of pictures, and a couple videos.

Y'know, I used to know how to post a picture from my computer into a thread here. Why can't I figure it out today? I guess you'll have to wait to see that picture of sweet rhino PDA.

Photos have to be hosted somewhere in order to be linked. LoT won't store them for you (it would drive up hosting costs and cause dogs to start sleeping with cats).


I like Photobucket but I'm not a real heavy user of that type of thing. I primarily use it to host the photos I post here.

Flickr or Picasa are what I use. Picasa seems more like a personal storage site to me, even though it does allow to share. I like Flickr's sets and collections feature that lets me organize multiple albums into themes.

Actually - you can attach photos directly using the "Manage Attachment" buttons below the text input screen. Of course, our dogs and cats already sleep together.

Really?


Well I'll be damned (not that I wasn't already). Cool I'll have to start a thread to backup all my photos!

But, you knew that. :p

If you care anything about image quality, or more importantly, about any rights to your images, steer away from Facebook.

Any site you post photos to, will have ToS- some of them basically have you allow the host a free license to use your images any way they see fit (including making money off your images).

I personally use Flickr, and SmugMug has good terms as well.
