Okay guys. Photobucket has become nigh-unusable for me with all their latest updates bullshit; I just cannot deal with the interface anymore, or the fact that it takes forever to load each page (no matter what computer or browser I'm using). I need a new photo hosting site.

Things I'm looking for:
- privacy. I do not want my photos to be public. I just want to upload them to a thing, and then be able to link them in posts. I don't want them to be viewable except to those I want to view them, aka you guys.
- useability. I don't need any interface that has a shitton of fancy bells and whistles, I don't need any editing program, I just need a place to dump photos.
- I want it to be as disconnected from social media as possible. I want to control where my shit is, basically.
- I also want to be able to access these photos multiple times, so it can't be any of the anonymous things where you upload a photo so it has an anonymous url but then can't get to it again. :/
- Also, free. I'm broke, mkay, and between spending $ on a photo program and not uploading them at all, I'm just not gonna upload them.

Everything I'm aware of and that (my terrible google-fu) research has shown me is of the "public album whose photos you can link places" or the "private album that your friends must have an account to see" types. I just want a private album that I can use to link to things! :(

Or am I just going to have to figure out my own photo hosting shit at some point, likely when the comic website goes up?

Never mind! Have some space on [personal profile] magistrate's domain for hostystuffs! :D

I think that with Flickr, you can make your photos only visible to people who have the link, so you could link it to a post but no one will find it by looking on your page?

It limits to 200 photos for free user, but you can just get more accounts.

Flickr wouldn't allow me to embed the images if I did that, however, afaik? And I wanted to be able to embed them, rather than linking to an album.

But [personal profile] magistrate is offering me space on se's domain, so it's fixed for now, until I get the comic domain up and running.

Yay for space though!

Maybe it does and Squeem and I just couldn't figure it out. :P (She was helping me by poking around since she has an account and I don't.)

Yessss this means I can post the like, nine months' worth of abandoned houses and factories we've found!

Will there be journal posts? I'm excited to see!
