Photobucket is becoming a pain, sometimes working flawlessly and sometimes making pasting a photo say here a nightmare. Now it is coming up with new signs referring me to my terms and not posting a photo. So, I am looking for advice as to where to transfer them (and how I can do that) from Photobucket without losing the copyright of my photos. Hope someone can help.

Flickr. It's what most people here use. The pic that appears here will look better too.

Photobucket thread in the lounge discussing this. I've noticed threads on other forums are no showing showing PB pictures.

I have never really enjoyed FlickR although it seems the default recommendation.

I don't think Flickr is quite as "nice" to use as PB used to be, before they slowed it down so much. I've got used to it, though, and now it's just a few petty things that wind me up.

With PB my photos have appeared when I post them but suddenly they are being taken down with an ideogram showing i have used 100% of my account. Go on to my account and I have used 70%. The re seems to be no way now of actually, as the owner of the administrator, having a clean out or generally moving photos around in bulk.

With Flickr I can't see how to set up an album before I add photos. I've added some, but where do I go from there? The free stockage is 1TB, far more than PB who seem set on committing suicide. Moreover, how the hell do I transfer my photos from one to the other?

I'd avoid doing that, PB may well have compressed them. If you still have them it would be best to upload them fresh.
