What do all the cool kids use nowadays for photo hosting? Obviously Flickr is changing beyond all recognition in a bit to become profitable and even though I’ve got way <1000 photos on there, it doesn’t seem to let me add any more. Can Google services be used which then get given links? Or anything else? Everything I have is in iCloud but that doesn’t seem to like giving easy links for Forum use, they only give URLs which last for 30 days. I have my own webspace but it’s not exactly easy to upload there via a browser either. Sorry to sound like a n00b

Sorry to sound like a n00b Flickr seems OK if you have a paid subscription, but it's becoming increasingly unfriendly towards those who don't. A lot of people have switched over to smugmug in recent times. I haven't used it to host pictures myself, but I have had a look at other people's sites on there, and it looks quite good. I have also had a play with a Wix site, that might be worth a try.

You’re totally right about Flickr becoming increasingly unfriendly to non-subscribers. Google Photos doesn’t seem to ‘host’ but you can embed stuff using Imgur: I had a go by changing the photo of the interior shot of the DC metro and it seems to work fine. There’s also some pretty witty stuff on the main site

Which suggests that, in time, the two will merge...

I still blame Yahoo! for that unsustainable one-terabyte free space debacle.
