Other than the adware Photobucket allows on non-paying accounts, they offer more services on their free accounts than I've found in any other online photo storage that I've tested.

Imgur is very klunky to navigate (for me); butif what I've heard is true they limit the number of photos to 250 - and I found out today that they do not allow you to delete any photos you upload without emailing them for "Permission" and being approved !!! WTF?


Because of THAT policy, I am taking my business elsewhere from Imgur. I would rather pay Photobucket to keep the ads off my page than to use Imgur's free service as the owner of the photos has no autonomy there.

But before I fork over the dollars to Photobucket, is there anyone here who is totally happy with their online photo storage and would like to recommend it on here?

In the same respect, is there any online photo storage that you would like to warn everyone against using for whatever reasons they have given you to not use them?

Here’s a blog post about Imgur Pro features becoming free for everyone: Link. I can delete my own images with two clicks. There is a Request Deletion option at the bottom of my page, but I would only need that to request the deletion of an image that is not mine. Also I have waaaay more than 250 images visible. I used to have a Pro subscription, but they refunded my last payment when they offered the features for free. Do you suppose you have to request the new options? From what the post says I thought it would be the same for everyone.

I also switched from Photobucket at the time of the “improvements.” Since then I’ve been satisfied with Imgur for posting screenshots and such.
