Just to jump in on yesterday’s conversation regarding Tinypic hacker. I have never had a graphic hacked at either Fotki or Photobucket.

A few years ago, I uploaded one or two graphics to Tinypic. I found it hard to use because I did not have a personal account.

Both Fotki and Photobucket have free accounts. I pay for accounts at both places. A paid account gives more space than the free account. Both have their advantages. You can edit your graphic online. I have not used this feature except to test the one on Photobucket. Both have the ability to create multiple folders ie: Amy’s Place; My Graphics; My backgrounds; My genealogy. Also, the graphic retains the name assigned when you saved it on your pc.

I find Photobucket easier to upload large amounts of graphics. Fotki may have improved their upload options but I haven’t tried it.

I have, on occasion, lost graphics on both Fotki and Photobucket. I do not know what causes this. After a few months, instead of the graphic, you get a message that the image has been deleted or moved. Hmmm ..... not by me! :) I have used an image in my header for several years without change. Last month, it disappeared. I re-uploaded but what I have on my pc is a little different than what I have used forever.

You may never get hit by another hacker on Tinypic but I like the ability to be able to organize my images all together.

Thanks for listening to my rant. :)
