I am a happy Photobucket user and have used their service since 1998. I do pay for their service and store several thousand pictures there including my forum, webpage, and cooking, smoking and grilling pictures. My pictures are posted on as many as 40 sites and are always available as this site is never down as far as the pictures being available to the sites. I find the PB site fairly easy to use and I keep it setup to where all the pictures that I load are automatically being sized for the sites that they may be used on.
It can be difficult to find a photo on a storage site and with PB, I can use many different albums to make this task much easier. All my cooking pictures are stored by the brand or type of cooker, grill, smoker, etc..
Pictures can be shared around the web by five different methods and it is easy with PB to not only just pick out the picture but to also select the method that each site may want for showing the picture.
I am vey satisfied with the service I have and would recommend it to anyone.
