How does using Flickr compare to PB?

How does using Flickr compare to PB?

First of all, I didn't see any ads. Second, it allows free 3rd party hosting (like posting pics here). PB just cut me off, wants $40 a month for that now.

Flickr doesn't have the single click to copy the photo URL and paste in a post. It's a few more steps involved in posting a pic on forums. That's what happened on post #1, it just entered the URL. Have to use the Image icon here for the photo to show.

Flickr loads faster. I'm still in the learning curve on Flickr. I think I may like it better when I learn more about it. I'm not paying $40 a month for something that has been free for years.

I haven't used flickr, but mysteriously had a login from 2006 - weird. Here's more testing

That didn't go well. How to you get a URL for just the picture?

 

[Bozz10mm]

Still trying to work that out. So far, here's what I do. Select the photo from photo stream. Click on the arrow bottom right. The one that sorta swooshes to the right. When the box opens up, select BB Code. Pick the size, then copy the URL code. Paste the url directly to the post. In the url, you can delete everything after .jpg.

There's got to be an easier way.

Getting better - thanks for the help. What a PITA

 

[Bozz10mm]

WTG. I'm still looking for an easier way.

There must be a problem with the smith pictured above. The magazine is empty.

Now I'm going to try IMGUR

 

[Bozz10mm]

IMGUR again

 

[Bozz10mm]

IMGUR seems a bit less tedious than FLICKR. One more try
Now if I can just remember how I did it for the next time
