Having issues with flickr to upload (Can't log in), any alternatives to photo uploading?
Posted by Safety Valve on Saturday, September 7, 2019 1:53 PM

Hello, I'm having trouble with flickr to upload which is my main "Go - To" for uploading photographs (Two Step isn't working right, not sending me the code) I'm wondering what other better alternitves are there besides photobucket??? I'm wanting to upload some photos of my modified Treble O Lectric F7 that I've been working on, thanks!! Big Smile

There's news of recent photobucket changes to be found HERE.

I stayed with photobucket through their revised pricing debacle, thanks to much-appreciated help from their tech support staff.  I have a paid account, which fulfils all my requirements at a very reasonable cost, and posting photos from there is merely a click or two away.

I want to view it, it wants me to pay a subcription to view the article (no idea why)

That's somewhat unusual.  The link worked for me when I first posted it, opening it in a new tab, but that still-open tab now shows the message "Forbidden".

Just before beginning this post, I again clicked on the link and it works fine.  I did notice, though, that the linked article is from the Denver Post - perhaps they have a pay-to-view programme?

To find that link, along with other similar ones, I simply typed "photobucket - available plans?" into google, so you should be able to do so, too.


I did, just now, redo that same search, and came up with THIS, directly from photobucket.

My apologies for the issue with the earlier link.

When Photobucket did their thing I tried Google Photos and it only worked for users with a Google Account.
 
I had a Google Blogger Blog for all of my railroading stuff and created a Host page and I host my own pictures.  You can copy and paste from Google Blogger and Google Drive, both are free.
 
It’s super simple, right click on the picture then select Copy Image Location then paste to the Forum.
 
Simple and free.

I usually use Railimages.  It's free but asks for donations.

Look in the upper right corner of this page.  MR provides a Your Photos link, just below your name up there.

I realise you're asking about alternative photo hosting sites, but I wonder if you've contacted Flickr Support?  I had login problems several months ago, and they were most helpful.

Same here (Flickr), I had issues when they changed over their system, couldn't get logged into my long-standing account no matter how I tried. I emailed them and asked for help and they got me up and running right away with a re-login email. Very good support, you should give it a try. Everything is working now, Flickr is still pretty good, you get 1000 photos/videos for free.
