Title: Free Photo Sharing sites
Post by: Freddie on August 16, 2018, 06:50:04 AM

I was using a photo-sharing site to upload images to this forum. When they changed the site to require a subscription to 'share' images I deleted my account with them.

I'm looking for recommendations for photo-sharing sites. Since I only occasionally would need to use it to post here I'd prefer to use a free site.

As always any help will be appreciated.

Flickr, I have been a free member since June 2007.

Thanks Paul, now all I have to do is figure out how to upload an image from Flickr to this site.

(1) Just click/select one of your flickr photos.
Tip: use approx 800 x 600 approx, doesn't have to be exact size , but when you try larger images sometimes some of the photo is cutoff when viewing in the forum.

(2) Select the curved arrow that is on the bottom right of your photo.

(3) Select BBCode

(4) Copy and past the shown information.

** Here is a shot I took today following the above steps.
