What is everyone's opinion on web sites to share photo's with. I use yahoo right now and it downgrades the quality and will not post well when I try to do a ride report.

what about Fotki or Picasa are two that I am looking at now.

If you don't mind spending a few dollars, smugmug (http://www.smugmug.com) is hard to beat. Unlike the free sites that compress the hell out of images, Smugmug offers up great quality images and let's you see the original file (unless the owner specifies otherwise). It's a family business and the head guy is motorcycle guy (started and runs advrider.com). It's the site of choice for folks that want to host lots of images and share them on-line, including forums. More than a few folks are also using it as their back up solution for images as they've got levels of redundancy that most home users can't match. With a coupon, it's $35/year.

I would have to echo Scott's sentiments. Smugmug rocks. You can check out dgrin.com to get a better idea of what people are doing with Smugmug. Or go to smugmug.com and do a search of something that interests you.

you wont have an "album", but you will have unlimited FREE photo uploads and hotlinking:

1] turn off cookies
2] http://xs.to
3] keep track of photos using your own personal preferenced system

What kinda coupon is that? Mine is $30 this year and last year the MOA discount got me in at $26.

I think we still get a discount, too.
