Flickr is driving me nuts. It is sooooooooooo slow.

Flickr

😆

Imgur?

what for?

Flickr is still good but slow on slow connections. If you want to host galleries etc then there are some others but the rest seem a bit light anyway.

I use picasa, not saying it’s the best but it’s an option.

Photobucket cos all the cool kids have migrated elsewhere

Photobucket here too. It works as well as anything else and they make it easy to get IMG code, html link code, etc. The fact that it isn’t really a community in the way Flickr is, is a big plus for a grumpy old sod like me too.

Will have a look at those, ta.

Yahoo are doing their best to kill off the community bit with their revamp, eg you no longer see who has liked or commented on photos in the default view etc

I’ll say it. Picasa is the best.

I’m in the same boat

thinking of revisiting this lot 500px

Were a bit full of themselves previously but may have leveled now with all the exflickr users.

It’s because they dynamically resize the photos to your screen each time you request them on a browser so they fit their new tiled look. Thus maximising their workload, which they obviously can’t manage. A massive own goal.

Exactly, and the massive denial that it is an issue is puzzling.

They need to feed the hamsters more, or let them have some time off to breed

Photobucket for buckets of photos, flickr for a couple of photos, imo.
