Alternative to photobucket.

I cant load my photobucket anymore. It takes roughly 3 minutes to load a page, forget editing. Please help, I switched to firefox. Did not help.

Ever thought about putting them on server storage?

Most internet plans have free web space for you to put your own pictures and whatnot.

Tinypic.com is my choice for image storage. No need to sign up for any accounts or anything.

Imageshack is what I use when Photobucket is down.

Dice X has it right - get your own server storage. You can find plans on the cheap if your IP doesn't provide any. 1&1 is what I use and I've had no issues with them.

I use GoDaddy, it's about $50 per year for 10 gigabytes of server storage space available fast and easily from anywhere along with my own domain name. I've heard 1&1 is similarly feature-rich yet cheap. It also gives me free ASP.NET and database storage, which is useful to me as a developer, but even if you're not one, it allows you to use that to support free applications included in that $50 per year cost. One of their free apps I enjoy is an image gallery app similar to what Photobucket and Picassa give you--I've got one at http://gallery.jamesashleyrudd.com/ That gallery is password protected and I just list it as an example of what a cheap web host will give you.

 

I don't use Photobucket because direct image links such as the ones in my sig line or ones I put directly into posts here have always seemed difficult...they seem to not want you to link directly to images but to go through Photobucket pages with advertisements to see the images. Perhaps direct image links are possible...not sure. I'd still rather use my own cheap web host to store non-images...I have backups of important stuff up there, such as my database of comic books.
