      From a previous post.

      "I've got to head out shortly but for now to embed the bulletin board code (BBCode) you open the photo full screen and on the bottom left corner you'll see 5 icons, you want the middle one, sort of a right arrow, then select the BBCode tab. It will give you a pull down menu so you can select the size you want to post. Just paste that into your post and you're good to go. For doing your albums and general sorting you want to be in the "Organize" section. If you haven't found it it's accessed from the top menu and if you hover over "You" it will be at the bottom of the drop down menu. All the stuff you want do regarding adding, deleting and working with your albums is done there. Hope that gets you going, flickr is not as intuitive as PB but I think it is actually a better site once you find your way around. There are lots of different photography groups within flickr that you can join depending on specific interests you have. A couple I've joined are Beautiful British Columbia and Outdoor Photography Canada. Once you grasp it a bit there should be some good online tutorials out there to help you along. Good Luck with it. PM if you need more help, I've only used a few of the many features but I'm pretty good at poking around to find stuff."

            Anyone else get the email from Photobucket this week? They are still not getting it, or perhaps they are betting that people will find $9.99/mo a bargain for third party hosting

                I got it, but jeez man, its like the millions they were making off all the adds wasn't enough. Smh, theyll probably go back to free or near free for 3rd party as a last resort when they start to go under; which they will, id be fine with a couple dollars a month. But nothing more.

                  How far back did you buy - in at that price?

                    I use Picturetrail, no problems ever, so far, in several years. Once a year they get me for 20 bucks.

                        I'm still on their free plan and able to share, but one of these days that bliss is going to disappear.

                        Picturetrail is a new one to me...will have to check it out

                          The user interface is a little cumbersome, but here is a test post out of Picture Trail (sorry it is not motorcycle related);

                            That looks like nothing I've ever seen. I put pics on my computer, and the ones I want to I just upload to Picturetrail. Then when I want to post them somewhere I just click on "get URLs" and copy, then paste to the forums or wherever.

                              Sorry for the misdirection. It is just an example of an image I uploaded using Picturetrail, not an image of the Picturtrail interface.

                              The hosting works for sure, but the interface is pretty much 1st generation.

                                Have you tried Fickr ? There is a bit of a learning curve but its a nice interface once you've got it. I don't know what the advertising is like because with Adblock Plus I don't see any at all......
