Replacement for Photobucket Web Pic Hosting ?

No problem here with PB.

Oh yeah, Oak Creek Canyon is a great ride. I did a trip in early 80's that took me down there with a guy whose folks lived in Prescott. With a stop off over Mingus Mountain to Jerome. Went from there up to Lake Tahoe, over to Eureka in California before heading back home to Missouri. All of it was a great ride. Long before I ever heard of toy haulers. :)

I ended up moving everything to IMGUR. I didn't have alot of photos but have several folders now on IMGUR of pictures I share alot on here...

IMGUR does have a simple photo size selctor at the bottom of the views where you can retrive different sized photos. RV NET is about the only forum that actually allows you to set your photo size. Most other forums you have to resize the photos first before submitting them... IMGUR really helps out in the respect.

I was moving my photos to WINDOWS just to resize them before submitting to a forum to make a post...

Recently I have discovered the SNIP tool in WIN10 and this has been great resizing some photo views of interest especially in the GOOGLE MAPS On-Line and saving some close-up photos of something you want to talk about in a post... This works out great using IMGUR...

The 'FREE' IMGUR also has both PUBLIC and PRIVATE settings for your photos.

Here is a snipped photo of a OAK CREEK CANYON view in Arizona showing lots of curves etc...

I tried Google Photos, but they're worse than PB when you try to link to a picture. I tried several times but couldn't get it to work, and finally just gave up. Something that takes that much work simply isn't worth it.

I am using Imgur, not exactly intuitive, but once you get it figured out it isn't too bad. I can't actually recommend it, but I don't do much linking so I haven't looked any further. If you find something that works easily post back.

PB used to be such a snap to use: select the photo and select the URL you wanted to use. Tough to get much easier than that.

Sure, if you sign in to Photobucket and go to your "Library", over on the right side down about half way is "Actions". One of those "Actions" is "Download Album". That will download to your computer any pictures/albums you choose. That's how I got all my pictures off PB before I deleted them from PB.

Hope this helps.

Where did you end up going ?

Sure, if you sign in to Photobucket and go to your "Library", over on the right side down about half way is "Actions". One of those "Actions" is "Download Album".

For example, right now my 900+ photos are in photobucket, but I haven't found anyone who can tell me how to transfer them from photobucket to a new photo hosting service. THAT'S how bad it is, for me.
How about google photos? Is it as easy to use as photobucket WAS (all those years I used it (photobucket)?

Transferring from PB to another hosting sight might be problematical, but you can download your photos from PB. I did that when I got tired of having PB open new windows and required me to use Adobe Flash. They used to be really easy to use and quick to load, but now they are just a pain.

Would you please explain exactly what this means:

"------but you can download your photos from PB."

Thats the first thing is working on a batch download of what's on PB now. I'll likely need to keep the PB pix up since there's 10 years of pic links on here and several other forums. It's too bad there's not a purpose built online storage site that's just there as a host for things like this. Probably not allot of call for it when others can kind of get it done
