Does anyone here use Pbase.com for putting their photos on the web?

If you do, how do you like it?

If you dont, who do you use?

I started using PBase a few months ago. Quite a few on this forum use and recommend it.

Pros
- Devoted to displaying and sharing images, not selling prints.
- No commercials/pop-ups etc.
- Reasonable price ($23/yr for 100 MB)
- Can sign up for free to give it a try; some restrictions.
- Millions of photos on site - many of truly high quality.
- An associated discussion forum uses same interface as ours (phBB); fairly active.
- Easy to link to if you want to display your images elsewhere.
- Fast and reliable in my limited experience.
- Somewhat clumsy but reasonable interface for uploading and organizing images.
- CSS stylesheets available and editable to customize the presentation of your images
- Interesting features added regularly - like a searchable camera and lens database.
- It's been around awhile and seems stable.

Can't really think of any major cons.

I've used it for quite a while now. Works fine for me.

I'm very happy with it. Quick loads, easy direct links, simple upload process.

Pbase is great the only thing I wished they would offer is a private veiwing link but when I contacted them a month ago they said they're working on it.
I looked all over and waited a couple of months before I chose.

i use smugmug instead, my friend recommended me for pbase, but with smugmug, it's unlimited space for $29.99 per year for one, so i can upload full size images without worrying about running out of space; it also gives u pretty extensive features with gallery, it runs to my needs :)
