Unfortunately I have pictures there what are basically being held for ransom.

Anyone know a good alternate?

Thanks

What do you mean "now"? Been that way for quite a while, and I'm also a hostage victim. Ditto for Flickr. Only alternative I know is Imagur...though probably only a matter of time before it follows the example of those two; nobody gets in the internet racket who isn't after coin.

I have several hundred gun pics on PB. I can retrieve them, so far it's been a tedious process one at a time. I need to figure out a batch process. I use post image hosting now.

i never stored photos there, just put them on board so i could use the image sharing options...

non of my photos are held for ransom, at all. ive got them on my computer, a portable hard-drive and will soon have them on another drive as a double back up...

i hope you can get them back...

I'll say it again: PictureTrail. Easy, inexpensive, works well, have used them for about 20 years.

If it's inexpensive, it's not free, which is how all the others started out; but of course, "free" has turned out to be a con.

amm , I believe it has been discussed here quite often about (free) services . Somebody somewhere has to get paid for setting up the services and maintaining them . So why would anyone think this would be any different . If it is free there is something to be gained by it by some one , whether that will turn out good for the users I figure would subject to who is gaining and what is being gained .

Never said it was free, just good. $19.95 a year for 500 photos is not going to break anyone. They do offer a totally free option as well, but it is smaller.
