Jumping ship

[impulsereader]

I refuse to use photobucket for one second longer. I haven't investigated the alternatives yet, but this is simply not negotiable.

I swear to all of you that at some point my ROM entry looked right and the entirety of every picture could be seen, but at the moment most of them are being cut off and they're appearing on AO3 at their original size though I very carefully re-sized them on pb.

I am absolutely enraged - bizarrely, for once my instinctive choice is an available mood.

I use photobucket and haven't had any problems (which isn't very helpful, I know) but I've also got some stuff on google and that seems to work fine too. Or picasa might be ok?
Anyhow I hope you find something that works :)

I like flickr. And it will do the embed code for you in various sizes, making a link that will take people back to the main version if they click on the picture. And you can also sign in with your Google account, even though it's owned by yahoo. But if it has any photo editing, I've never explored it—I have editing software on my desktop already, which is faster than editing things over the connection.

If you are using photobucket to edit photos I would definitely switch! I do all my editing in photoshop and only upload finished products so photobucket works for me. (And I have thousands of pictures on it all organized so I'm probably going to stick with it.) I have found that if you edit on the site - or delete and upload a picture with the same filename but with changes - photobucket won't show it (at least to you) for a while. It doesn't mean it's not changed just that the cache hasn't caught up.

Oh, and if you use jpgs, they will periodically go around and compress them. Which is why I post in pngs now! So...anyway good luck in finding a new site since I just gave you two good reasons to switch. :)
