Photobucket has become a pain in the ass; slow and freezing up etc. I have loads and loads of pictures there, but over the last 6 months or so I find problems every other time I use it. What are the other options, and are they better?

I use Skydrive. It was part of my ISP, but I think it is free now.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/skydrive/download A few little things like remembering to allow it to be shared, but other wise works pretty good. |

It's been pissing me off as well. My favorite is the mobile app that doesn't work.

I have been using picasa and imgur for awhile now and I have no complaints so far.

And I use Fotki. I think you get like 5 GB of storage free, but I don't remember the exact amount. Unfortunately, they all seem to have 'issues' from time-to-time.

The sites like photobucket are a pain on my end as a viewer too.
I upload my pics to a directory on my website. My ISP offers webspace as a feature of my email account, don't all real email services do this? |

Smugmug FTW!
Seriously great system and worth the small charge. www.smugmug.com I *think* they have a referral program, so if so, tell them I sent ya and I think we both get a discount. Regardless, awesome site, family owned (a friend of mine knows them pretty well), and great service. Costas cars and such... |

QUOTE (Steve91T @ Apr 28 2013, 11:00 PM)  My favorite is the mobile app that doesn't work. That was my original opinion.... tried the moble app again today and it worked better than the real one! I'll have to try a couple of these other sites. Thanks guys! |

I'm using Google + these days.
When I walk in the house, and the WIFI connect to my iPhone, the photos automatically upload to my Google + account. Then I can link to the pics super quick. I like it due to the minimal effort required. Plus I have gmail, etc., youtube account linked, so it's gotten to be the one stop shop. It's also nice since the photos are in the "cloud" if your phone has a meltdown, gets runover etc.. as always, YMMV |
