I was posting photos on [Multiply.com](http://Multiply.com) until the bastards up and shut down. Now I need a new place. Recommendations? Thanks in advance. ---

Flickr is my favorite. ---

I just looked that up, and it seems they want me to have a Yahoo ID. I’m not sure I want to join Yahoo, as I recall hearing some problems with them but nothing specific that I can remember. ---

Still using photobucket. [No problems so far](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y94/lenslarque/Photo0025.jpg). ---

> [@Trinopus](#): > > Still using photobucket. [No problems so far](http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y94/lenslarque/Photo0025.jpg). For that one, the site won’t come up when I click on the link. Maybe I’m not meant to post photos. ☹ ---

I just clicked on the “sign up” link on the Flickr home page. The window that pops up says “don’t have a Yahoo! ID? Create New Account [button] or sign in with: Facebook [button] [/] Google [button]” So you don’t need a Yahoo account. ---

Hmmm. I’m not on Facebook either. I’ll see if the Google-button option works. ---

I think the problem you’re thinking of with Yahoo accounts was a breach of part of their password file in the summer of 2012. New Yahoo accounts would not be affected. None the less, pick a strong password - stronger than Yahoo’s minimum requirements. Me for suggestions. ---

I use and like SmugMug. It’s not a free service, but that means it answers to its users rather than to a bunch of advertisers and venture capitalists, and it is very customizable. ---

Do you have a budget, number/size of photos to share, photo organisation system and sharing restrictions in mind? ---

Thanks, all. I have managed to sign up on Flickr, and I’ll try that for now. But SmugMug looks interesting, and I’ll keep that in mind. I may use them. No photo numbers or organization in mind right now. My wife will probably use it more than I do.
