PBase Alternatives?
Why EXIF a must?
Personally any photographer not using a digital camera or the latest software would not have this. I guess you wouldn't know that? "JeffS" wrote in message ... Hi, I've been using PBase as an online home for some of my photos for several months now. Unfortunately, most of my galleries are now being afflicted with what is being called the 'creeping thumbnail disease' (thumbs disappearing and when regenerated just produce an original sized image). There hasn't been a response from the owners of PBase for at least a month about this issue. I've decided it's time to move on to a more responsibly run hosting service. I'm looking for a place that has a feel of community like PBase. External linking to photos and display of EXIF is a must. I've seen references to SmugMug and several other hosting sites. Does anyone have any experiences with services other than PBase that could be recommended? While I enjoy PBase, it is starting to feel more like it is being abandoned than kept up. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you, Jeff ----- My Humble Galleries: http://www.pbase.com/jkseidel |

In the year that I've been using the service, AFAIK there haven't been any service issues like PBase has had recently. |

While I enjoy PBase, it is starting to feel more like it is being abandoned than kept up. My suggestion is Webaperture www.webaperture.com You are limited to 4Mb total space, and only 4 photo uploads a week, but it is meant to be a photo criticism site rather than an archive. However, you can arrange you pictures into galleries so visitors can see a collection of your work. It is a really friendly place, and I've learned a lot in the 6 months I've been using it. Exif IS supported there, and it's completely free (although donations are welcomed). Paul (User name 'Paul Bear') |

While I like PBase for its price and features, I've found the recent glitches are making it more of a bother to use than it is worth. I probably wouldn't mind as much if the operators of the site were responding to users' concerns about the current issues, but with the exception of one brief comment about server loads, there hasn't been a peep from anyone there in well over a month. I'll give SmugMug a harder look. Best Wishes, Jeff ----- My Humble Galleries: http://www.pbase.com/jkseidel I've had major problems with Pbase for over a month now with no response from them. Either someone died or they just don't give a damn. I will look in to SmugMug myself, since Pbase has really become bad. Don dunlap |
