Complaining about free stuff (hosting sites for photos)
I love threads with pictures. I have always sucked at providing pictures. I finally thought I had my act together using imgBB. My pictures were the right size, good enough quality, nice.

Then I try to post a picture recently and imgBB seems to have erased all my photos. They can't really be gone though because the photos are still on the forum but I can't get to them. It lets me log in but zero photos.

I know the site was free but does it have to suck as well? I am now on Flickr. It seems to work. It also seems to put my real name on the photo which I can delete out but that still seems sketchy.

Yea, I know, I am getting exactly what I am paying for. When para hits the Powerball I hope he upgrades the forum to self host pictures.

pedropcola,
Just put your forum username in the box on Flickr where your real name is. Then you won't need to edit anything.

Same here. Switched to postimage.org many years ago and never looked back. It still has all of my photos from the beginning, and it's tools for creating things like a direct link (which I use here) makes it very user friendly... at least in my opinion.
