Photo hosting sites-what next?
Due to the complete ballsup that Photobucket has done to every forum and every forum member on planet earth I guess we need to find a suitable way to post photos. What do people recommend now? PB was a pita at times, so time for a change.

On Landy zone you can load photos direct to site. All my threads everywhere are destroyed. I can slowly update that one. But uploading all my photos onto a different hosting service just isn't going to happen. Will take weeks, and I've got too much on.

You can upload direct to here as well, thats what the "Manage Attachments" button does below, when you edit.
I have thought about creating a small image hosting site for the car community to use, but if it took off too much I'm not sure id be able to cope with the bandwidth and hosting costs!

Aren't the file sizes limited as an attachment? Photos would need to be reduced and probably lose clarity.

A friend of mine from the AFOL world uses flickr as do a lot of the people on the forums he frequents. Not used it myself but he says it's decent.

If they are, then I should be able to relax them a bit. I did for the Hyundai Club.

You could offer it as a hosting service for members of forums where those forums pay you for access.
