Alex Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Hi all, Up to now I've been putting build photos on my Facebook account and then linking them here. I have discovered however that the links that FB provides are not permanent - they expire after a couple months (another reason to hate Facebook, I guess). Do you all have suggestions for a free or at least very inexpensive alternative where I can associate permanent URLs with my photos to link them here with? Thanks!

LSP_Kevin Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 Imgur is free, but after the Photobucket debacle, I don't trust free services any more, so I went with ImageShack, which from memory costs around US$30 per year for a basic account.

nmayhew Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 fyi i have found imgur's folder organisation to be really sh*t and not at all intuitive i am toying with ditching it Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody V Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 If you're looking for free I can't help but if you can pony up $35 a year I would suggest Pbase.com. I started using them in 2007 when I was seriously into photography at the recommendation of pro photographers. Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sepp Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 (edited) I use ImageShack too; I like the albums, and creating links is simple. Edited June 24, 2020 by Sepp Alex 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev excellent suggestion. They have a new subscriber deal - $19 for your first year. I'm giving it a try. LSP_K2 and LSP_Kevin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee in Texas Posted June 24, 2020 Share Posted June 24, 2020 I have had a Fotki account for close to twenty years and never had a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CATCplSlade Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Been using imgur since Photobucket shat its bed with no issues. I use it to post my photos everywhere. Haven't had any problems with the folders myself but YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
