    Photo sharing/hosting? Not Flickr

    Having completely given up on Flickr, being unable to log in for over a week, with little or no help from flickr or yahoo I am looking for another site to host my photos and to use to share on forums such as this. Used photo bucket for years but the image quality is terrible.

    Have just opened an account on 500px which looks great, have posted a few photos to it, however I cannot find anyway to post/share photos from it, lots of searches indicate that the embed link does it, but not for me, and certainly not on here, its just a load of text that does nothing.

    Anyone had any success with posting pics from 500px? if so how?

    Can anyone recommend any other sites similar to 500px or flickr?

        Yes you can post from 500px we had a discussion about this a couple of weeks ago. It is not quite as easy as with some other sites but once you do it a couple of times it is not difficult.

        In 500px choose the image that you want, then click the embed link on the right side. Don't cut the entire code that is shown cut just the url after img src=" and then paste that into your message here in the usual way.

            Thanks for the help and advice guys. Nothing working for me though.

            From my own web site it just posts a small icon with a question mark in it. As below.



            This site won't let me post from 500px I get the message below.

              Anyone suggest another site? just tried picasa from google and you can't post individual photos from there either just links to the site. This is driving me mad, please don't tell me only flickr offer the ability to post your photos to web sites?

                The question mark means I suspect you are not pointing to a jpg file

                      500px is the best I have found for publishing here so glad you have made it work
