Thanks grandrake.

I think album management is easier with flickr, you can create/join groups (some very nice ones there), the interface is cleaner and better to use. But these are personal preferences. You have to try out to see.

Here's mine - you can take a look and see if you like photobucket's better. If you're going to use flickr, add me as a contact.

Okay, there is a little inconvenience in sharing in a forum. There are a couple of ways:

1. The easiest way is to right click the image and view image location, then paste it here within the img bbcode tags.

2. The other way, is to click on the "Share This" link, and choose "embed". You'll get a code block like the following. Extract the portion in red (which is the direct link to the picture) and enclose within the img bbcode tags.

<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/grandrake/3051768139/" title="Newly-weds at Meiji Shrine by grandrake, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3069/3051768139_2300681de9.jpg" width="500" height="335" alt="Newly-weds at Meiji Shrine" /></a>

The problem is because Flickr doesn't provide direct image links for use in forums - if you just use the permalink in the "Grab This Link" under the "Share This" section, it'll take you to the HTML page with the image + the comments. So this doesn't work when you put it within the img bbcode tags. It's by design, because flickr doesn't want to encourage folks hotlinking directly to folks' images.

I'll see if there's a mod for this forum out there that can avoid this hassle.
