Photo hosting sites.

My account with Flickr is up in January and have become bored with Flickr.

I was told either Smugmug or Pbase are the ones to go for.
They both seem to have accounts for around $30-40

Which of these two would you recommend or is there a better one out there?

What kind of entertainment do you find Flickr lacks?

Pbase is the troll site of choice.
Use the 30 day trial to post stolen images.

Smugmug is a ridiculous name.

I use PictureTrail. There is a free introductory period of about 30 days
(possibly longer -- I'm not sure about that). I think the "basic" is about
$20.00 a year, and there is an upgrade for about $30.00 a year.

If I remember correctly, both have a free trail period. Both have good
hosting capabilities. Smugmug is a family run business and their
customer service, I'm told by others who are using them, is far better
than others they had tried.

Best I can offer is for you to contact the two and ask questions or
go to their web sites and determine which will be a better fit for you
and your photography.

I have talked with the folks at Smugmug and have always been treated
very well. Even when I keep asking questions that are answered on
their web site.

Good luck.

good idea, and link to the FLIKR images that are already hosted there

He's unlikely to do that "K".

He is not known on flickr, and his address "the.monks.com" is a fraud. What
he's looking for is anonmous hosting so he can keep his identity concealed
but still have somewhere to display photos to those he doesn't hid from.

his email add is only as fraudulent as yours Douggie, or maybe you can tell
me where the.groups is??

PBase. I pay $23 a year. I prefer the look and feel of it.
Flickr looks like a cheapo Geocities or GoDaddy site by comparison.

Is he still around? Didn't he say 3 weeks ago the boat would be off the
slips and he was off to the Reef to study some fish and 'not give the
cretins in here a second thought'?

It is surprising the lies you miss out on when you have him killfiled.

I am not on Flickr? HEY? Oh that's right we are talking about Dogless,
I forgot what he is imagines in his brain is classed as FACT.
AND the.monks.com is a fraud. I am glad I stressed him out enough to
look it up.
Must be good to be so quiet in the busiest wedding period of the year.

I love the but about me keeping my identity anonymous, that is why I go
to the Flickr Australian Photographers meet ups with a bag on my head so
they don't know who I am.

Back to the cellar with the kiddies Dogless, oh **** that was another
lie from Dogless, unless the boat has a cellar with kiddies in it.
