Hi all,
What’s the best picture hosting site?
I essentially want something as good as Photobucket but don’t want to spend any money. Imageshack was good but I didn’t realise I was on a 30 day trial, oops.
So, what’s the easiest to use for an IT dimwit?
Dave!

Annoyingly that wants me to sign up with Yahoo.

https://imgbb.com/ is what I'm using for simple forum photo hosting.

Another vote for Flickr. Or the JL Dropbox method.

Which as a reminder is right-click on the photo in your Dropbox folder on your PC, 'Copy Dropbox Link' and paste into the normal [ img ] things, but change the 'dl=0' at the end of the link to 'raw=1'.
Works a treat.

Links from my Onedrive seem to work on here, never used to on the crappy Evo one without a lot of faffing around.

It is from my PC but there's a similar big blue button when using the mobile site on my Android phone.
Navigate to the album's Tab via the index top left?

Those three white lines in the top right of your screenshot look like the index button on the mobile site. Is the album's link maybe there?

No - it gives the option of "newest" or "oldest" only.

The app is not intuitive hence why I gave up.

Wow, the app is rubbish isn't it! Tried briefly to get it to make an album, even googled how to and decided not to waste further time and uninstalled.
