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?

Like Grits, I used to pay for an Imgur Pro account, but they made it free a little while ago. It says I have 1200 pics posted on it, and it certainly looks like they are all there. I have ten pages in my Skyrim album alone, and another six in my Fallout one. I also have no problem deleting my own pics.

My only gripe with Imgur is that it renames all the pictures you upload with their own gibberish names, which makes it hard to sort them. There are options to sort by date uploaded, or by original filename, but they don't seem to really work, because my pics still come out in a jumbled up order no matter what I try.

Other than that it is been great. Much better than Photobucket, which stopped bringing up your pictures full-screen, and instead started making every picture you link to go to a web page with with the picture small-sized and bunch of Photobucket stuff around it instead. That is what made me switch to Imgur.
