[The latest Doper Photo Thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=409868) reminds me that I have photos from my last few trips that I want to share. I’ve heard of Snapfish and Flickr; what other photo sites are there, and what does each site have to offer? I’m looking for a site that’s free, offers lots of space (I can easily fill up a gig or two with the photos from my trips), and allows people to view the photos without having to register. ---

I use Photobucket, which has enough bandwidth for my various forum avatars and whatever pictures I care to show. I’m not exactly an image-intensive poster, though, but it serves my needs well enough. ---

I use Photobucket for posting photos on message boards. It seems to work well, I have no complaints. I haven’t tried others though. ---

I’ve been using Flickr for a while now, and I’m very happy with it. ---

Flickr fits all of your parameters. I used the free account for a short time, but went to pay so I could organize things into more sets. I never even came close to the maximum uploads per month for the free account. I enjoy the community there too; Flickr seems to encourage more discussion than I found at Photobucket. And the interface was easier for me to use too. It’s got a nice homepage that pops up with new activity on my photos, thumbnails of my contacts’ photos, and other usefull links. ---

Thanks for the opinions. Photobucket it is. ---

Oh well just in case you wanted an extra opinion… 😉 I use Google’s Picasa web album. I love the Picasa photo editing software and the web storage doesn’t seem to have the bandwidth restrictions that Flickr does. On the other hand, Photobucket isn’t too shabby.
