This is the discussion on hosting sites for member pictures. This was taken from the old forum.

I thought the new Free Imgsafe photo storage website would be a godsend to this forum. After using it for a few months i no longer think i will use it. The reasons are because of a few things it should be able to do but it is not capable of doing.
1. When i tried loading about 30 resized pictures it loaded them but would not load any more when i resized some more and tried dragging then into Imgsafe.
2. They say you can delete any of the pictures but i have not been able to find any way of doing this.
3. You cannot make albums, It's just one big collage with no way to have a order to them.
4 No way to move pictures on one subject together for easier access.
So, now i am looking for another image storage place where i can have albums, be able to delete pic's, and no limits on uploads.

It may have some issues for doing a large production job like what you and I have been doing behind the scenes here, for a builder doing a Build Thread it may be OK.
But I also have been looking for a free or a very low cost option for all members to host their photos and videos on. We do not have any way to host a Video on site.

With Imsafe I am unable upload full sized pictures as it results in an "Object, Object" message. Resized smaller ok.
It seems most of the requirements you are looking for could be available at Pinterest.
One problem I have there though is I cannot get RTH and Pinterest pages up on the same screen to click and drag.
I have to copy and paste the URL. The reader of the post sees no picture at all without clicking on the link.

Well, it looks like Google Photos is NOT good for a forum. They will only let me share a photo with people in my google friends list. I'll keep looking to see if i can post to a forum but right now it won't let me see the location of the image.

Liteway, i have been posting some pics from Pinterest and it does work. But, like you said, i can't drag and drop and you have to use a URL code to add a pic to the forum. So i have kinda discarded Pinterest as a good source to get pictures from.

Trying ImgSafe now as Imgur is a bit hard to arrange folder in.
imgsafe.org
Well it seems imgsafe does not do folders. And limits pic's to 20 per page. So i guess i need to add the page number if you want to see specific trikes on the site.

Image Shack
As of 8-30 i have started using "Image Shack" to post pictures to the forums. I have paid the $40 for a year. I do have some reservations as there are some complaints about Image shack doing the same thing that "PhotoBucket" was doing. That is locking you out of the pictures until you pay a fee to host your pictures. We shall see if this happens to me. I will host any members pictures on my image shack site. I will make the member his own album and give him access to that album so he can post his pictures from his computer.

Well, it has been 10 days with Image Shack and i have found a small problem. When you are posting pictures to Image Shack you need to post each picture separately(one by one). The reason for this is image shack will show the URL coding for each in a list form if you upload more than one pic at a time. You will have to pick out each pictures coding to copy and paste to the forum. If you choose all the codings or just pick one of the coding links and try posting it all the pic's may showup on your post, some multiple times. To stop this from happening i have deleted all but the first photo i uploaded, then uploaded each pic separately to image shack. After doing that when i click on the check mark on a picture, to get the html coding to post, i only get that one picture posted. Yes it's a bit of a bother but now you will know what happens when you try multiple listings at the same time.
