Title: What photo hosting site do you prefer?
Post by: takashi78 on June 01, 2012, 03:11:12 PM

Like the tittle says.
Which one do you prefer and why?

I have been using Photobucket since dont know how long ago. :P
But i dont use the features of the site. Merely to store and to link to forums.

But lately i find their image displayed is always rotated in a wrong way.
I would have the right image on my pc only to find out when i post the pic is rotated to left or right. Hence i gotta try to set it again.

Any better sites to recommend?

using http://picasa.google.com/ most of the time. 10 GB free allocation. Started using in 2008. I don't upload my photos automatically. I make a copy of the original photos and resize it to 800+ by 600+ pixel. Only then I upload it to picasa. This way, it will take a long time before you used up your allocation.
