Hi
Wanting to post some pictures on here and Photobucket is being a complete pain in the butt with regards to copy & paste. Let me do one picture then couldn't paste any others. Is there another site that anyone could recommend ? Never had this problem before.
Please bare in mind that I'm quite possibly the most least Tec savvy person alive.
Thanks
Chris

I've started having problems with Photobucket, getting a lot of spammy pop ups and stuff on there trying to direct away from the page, especially trying to use the mobile site. I'm thinking about migrating to Flickr/

Photobucket has always been excruciatingly slow to use for me. I don't have the fastest internets in the world, which doesn't help. There's so much crap on the pages and even running an adblocker doesn't really help. The interface is rubbish too, and bulk upload doesn't seem to work properly. Also, they keep sending me spam marketing emails, even though I've unsubscribed several times now.

I use Adblock and photobucket needs it!!
However I think the Adblock also stops it working properly!!
Lot of sites don't like Adblock - Flyin Miata blocks you until you disable it😡 EDIT - thats Miata.net not FM - Soz

It hasnt worked for me for months. Partly because my phone is old and the website just crashes my phone now. I have given up on it..

So has anyone got any alternative suggestions for loading pics to here? Years ago (2006 ish) I used to use Imageshack when I was very active on a PC flight simulation forum. It was a fairly light interface, with little ads, nothing too intrusive. That said, I haven't got a clue what it's like now. |

Imgur is pretty quick and easy to use i think but it's not really a good way of keeping track of your own photos, it's just for uploading and sharing. If that's fine for you then that's the one, or flickr as others have said.

So this is the minor downside to flickr, the process of grabbing the BBCode is a bit longer:
When you're looking at a picture in the gallery mode, black/grey background and arrows for left and right, then on the bottom right is a set of icons. The 3rd from left is a swoopy arrow outline. Click that, then a share box pops up, click on BBCode, then choose what size you want to share, and then grab the URL and paste it as is in your forum post. Don't use the insert image function on the forum.

So if you're on the homepage, click on you  then click on photostream if you're not already on it and click on a photo  click on the swoopy arrow  click on BBCode, choose your size, copy and paste the URL  |
