Better hosting site than imageshack - Davy Jones - 02-09-2012
www.imageshack.us Wrote:You have 10362 photos stored. Since you're over the 500 photo limit you'll need to upgrade to a Premium account or you'll only be able to keep 500 of your recent photos. Older photos will expire on the 1st of March.Telling me that after 7 years, haha. No, seriously: Fuck you, imageshack.
Are there alternatives? I would like to have a hosting site with an option for multiple picture uploads. It should also keep the images and not throw them away after x days.
Btw, I don't want to use min.us for that job, since it creatures these annoying galleries.

I've been using Photobucket since 2007, and never had a problem with them.
If you get a free account there, just change the settings to cap photos at 1MB, instead of resizing resolutions over 1200.

Minus.com is also a good option!

He said he didn't want min.us. I actually like the separate galleries, but... eh.
Also PB isn't perfect because it will re-size images that are too large even with the 1MB option on. Imgur does this as well.
There's also a short list of 7 of the "best" hosting sites here.
Free Image Hosting seems alright, 3,000KB upload limit, though I can't get the image links to load for me. Maybe it'll work for you. You may also be able to find something good by typing "image hosters" or "image hosting site" in Google. Hope that helps!

Of course I could use google, but I'm sure people around here have a personal favorite and I'm interested to hear their reason for hoster xy.
Tinypic and Photobucket seem to be quick when it comes to throw pictures from their servers. Also don't like PB's auto-shrinking.
flickr seems to be nice, any experiences with this site?
RE: Better hosting site than imageshack - Garamonde - 02-09-2012
I've also experienced TinyPic shrinking images too large.

The only time I've had Photobucket resize one of my sheets was for a 4MB backgrounds rip.
Even with the 1MB limit on, I've uploaded sheets around 3000x1000 without resizing issues...

Then PB must not like me because I tried uploading huge sheets but they end up like this.

It works for me... here: http://i1121.photobucket.com/albums/l507/MightyJetters/Other/GalleryPictures.png
Here is imgur's (keeps the size but JPG's it): http://i.imgur.com/WBI9E.jpg
And here's the original: http://i.minus.com/iSNgJTZ1OSzXn.png
It's 1.2MB which is larger than the 1MB limit that I have set. If you have a Pro account then sure, 2MB is good for most things, but seeing how most people such as myself don't have Pro, their big sheets get shrunk.

Currently using imgur and it's very annoying that I can't see which link leads to which picture. The link descriptions are not like battlebgs2o8u.png, they are more like HZUFD676.png. Min.us suffers from the same problem.
RE: Better hosting site than imageshack - A.J. Nitro - 02-10-2012
Imgur works fine for me.

That's one of the larger reasons I've stuck with Photobucket for a few years. :p
