I've spent a few days perusing a new photo hosting website to replace "BotoPhucket" and registered at both Flickr and Imgur. It turns out that Flickr is part of Yahoo (Boo!) and also that in order to do bulk uploads, you have to be a paying member of their Pro Level - which is exactly what I was trying to escape. It's only $30 a year, but that's still extortion in my view. You can store up to a terabyte of photos with them, which is almost half a million photos. But who wants to upload that many pics one at a time? Not I, Charley. Imgur is free. You can do bulk uploads, and put them into albums. Albums can be public, Hidden, or Secret, in increasing order of security. The process is a bit confusing at first, but I managed. More importantly, the web address starts with "https" so it meets Rick's new guidelines. Here's a test post... I want to thank Rick Bin for creating a way to store and post here. But I do visit more than this website and needed a secure way to post pictures to those other forums as well. I'm going with IMGUR. For now, anyway.

Good info. Thanks for that Rocky. I am sitting on the sidelines watching and deciding what to do after I read posts like yours.

I know its been run into the ground but I really question the timing of photobucket when there are a number of competing options to do various things.
I assume microsoft , amazon and google don't have the direct link option but they do allow you to store a vast number of photos.
Seems like photobucket would have addressed the casual user by putting limits on the number of times a photo could be shared/viewed thereby resulting in the heavy users who they are targeting to spend money while the light user would still be allowed to do the "hey look at my ....." usage that so many of have grown accustom to for free, or only a few dollars per year.
I would have paid $5 a year just because its so ingrained in my life. "

That is indeed Willard Bay. Photo taken by the world famous Tube Dude, for whom I returned the favor... That was as easy as scroll down to find the photo, click on it. Then click on the Large Thumbail sizing option, then on the BBCode box. Come back here and paste. Except for the sizing option, it's as easy as PB used to be.

I wanted to stay away from Yahoo as well, so signed up with IMGUR also.
Only downfall I see is a 250 pic max on the free side, so each one over the limit erases one from the beginning.
First pic success:

I uploaded eight albums from PB, and one of them had 249 photos in it. They are all still there on Imgur. So I'm not sure about that 250 limit.
I just looked at the FAQ section and found this: "There is an upload limit of 50 images per IP address per hour. There is no upload limit per account, so upload to your heart's desire!"
Even that may be incorrect, as I stated above. I uploaded all eight albums in about 15 minutes.

Hmmmm. Everything on the Imgur site has the secure s - except when I click on one of my photos and then it disappears. Asd above. You posted at the same time I did.
