Photo Hosting for the Grand Tour

[propforward]

I just remembered that smugmug has a free little software thingy. It is designed to allow you to change accounts from one photo hosting place to another, but a positive side effect is that you can use it to download from photobucket (or elsewhere) to a folder you specify on your pooter. Might be worth checking out. As I recall, the software is free, and you do not need a smugmug account to get it. I'll see if I can find it. I used it one time - it failed to transfer all my pics to smugmug, but did a really good job of grabbing them all from phototphucket and putting them on my desktop. I'm pretty sure you can choose which folder on your photophucket account to grab, too. You don't have to download your whole account.

Although it sounds like you have a solution.

This is where to get that software I was on about, in case you are interested.

It really pissed me off when photobucket went from being a well organised, useful, simple tool for storing photos to a glitzy, stupid, not very helpful place to store photos.

I tried transitioning to smugmug, but their app is a load of arse, and no use for playing tag games.

Grrrrrrr.
