Potobucket replacement

beast · August 28, 2017, 09:06:20 AM

I am looking for something that I can put all my pic. on, and have them to use where ever I want. Some thing that I don't have to buy or take a 100 diff. steps to use it. Some thing like potobucket. Can any one help me out?

Hey, beast. You can try Tinypic:

http://tinypic.com/

Here's a short tutorial on how to use it:

I haven't used it in a long time so I don't know the particulars...but it is free.

This was right at the head

"TinyPic is a photo and video sharing service, owned and operated by Photobucket.com, that allows users to upload, link and share, images and videos on the Internet."^[1] This wikiHow will show you how to upload images to TinyPic for sharing.

I wonder if they are going to do the same as photobucket?

Crap! I totally forgot about that. LOL Who knows what they are going to do...

If you have a Google account you can use Google Photos and here are some others:

I found one that I like but when I post a pic here is what I get

How come the pic. won't show unless you click on it?

How are you trying to post the pic...like an attachment?

EDIT: I was watching some of the posts there in the "Fail" tags and they are FUNNY!!!

I tried all diff ways. It won't work with attachments or img out url or any of them.

Yes, I believe it has something to do with that URL and could also have to do with the Simple Audio Video Embedder mod I use...

EDIT: Just tried it on Ken's site which does not have the same mod installed and it also does not work there, too. So, it's either a SMF bug or something to do with the service. They may not allow hotlinking.

I have tried a few of them and have found for me, tiny Pic. works best.

Skhilled · September 03, 2017, 12:36:48 PM

I'm glad you've found the one that works for you.
