TP: Photo Sharing/Hosting Services

I also use Zenfolio.com. I remember when I first started looking around and signed up for a trial account, Smugmug had a lot of neat features but it was really slow to do things. That was about 2 yrs ago now though, and from the number of happy customers I'm sure its changed a lot.

I really like Zenfolio.com though. It has everything I need without going too over the top and I think the appearance looks fresh and inviting.

I wonder if any of use have experience with lima-city? There features seem very promising, but somewhere must be the catch, right?

Edit: I've found out that with lima-city you have to buy or earn some sort of virtual currency to get up/download-traffic. So there really is a catch

I use fotki service. It's easy to use. Have some localized version. In some country's have unlimited space for storage files. (Don't know about limitations size per file) Support multiple files upload, hotlinking images with preview to global network...

FreeImageHosting.net took 10 seconds to upload small file for a test run.


Question is? how long will the photo stay up?
Don't you hate looking through a post only to find a bunch of missing photo's?

Smugmug is as good as it gets. Their customer service (including the dgrin forums) is excellent, their product is great, and "they get it." That is, they understand that it's all about the photos and how to make your big, beautiful photos (and galleries) look great on the screen.

This coupon will give you $5 off your first year of Smugmug: AfVT1ZL8TROgg (I get $5 off as well, so there's full disclosure)!

Thanks natamambo, I'll start playing with that tonight.

Rest of the interface and options look nice and no commercials and better copyright terms are worth the 40$/yr I think.

OK, I just started my SmugMug 14 day free trial and posted my first pic from there.

Uploading was a breeze. Is there any way to quickly link the picture from there into a Dyxum post. With photobucket you get a field where you can in copy the link including the BBcodes with one click.
Does SmugMug have a similar feature, what I did yesterday was right click the picture, select properties and pasting the web reference in the script after pushing the little tree icon. It works, but it's a lot more clicks, so I think there must be a better way, but I couldn't find it.
