Non of those are there on android. You can only share image to apps installed which is useless. Unless cw makes an app for the forum. Thanks for the help Lindsey. I can see a lot of us struggling with this for a while.

Given up with imgur. Tap to talk is a lot easier and seems to work for now. Fingers crossed.

On Watchuseek, it's being said that it is still free if you don't upload over 2 GBs of space.

No matter, the website has been going straight downhill for the past two years. It's now a long shadow of itself with horrendous load times, numerous errors, and so many ads it's disgusting. Who would pay to support this crap? I'm downloading the few photos I don't have on my drive and moving on.

Photobucket has broken the internet. Browsing all over today looking for custom straps it is astonishing how many pictures on forums have been replaced with the 'invitation' (ransom note) to pay up. A lesson in how to alienate just about everyone.

Just do a google search on "photobucket ransom"...
They're not popular... deservedly so IMO.

So flickr and imgur cannot bring up Bb codes for forum use from mobiles. Ffs!

Edit. Got it. Don't download the app, works for imgur. Flickr not worth a bean. Bah.

I've always found Flickr very good for hosting.

And me. A few days ago.

Less than 24 hours after receiving the e-mail demanding $399.99 to upgrade to Plus 500 I received my first PBDeals e-mail offering me "hand-selected products at amazing prices". Less than 24 minutes after that I had deleted my Photo£ucket account, with some very choice words in the 'reason for leaving' box :censored:
