I remember Malc <malwhite(a)blueyonder.co.uk> saying something like: >I use PB. It's easy to use and generates IMG codes to use with forums. >Flickr might but it didn't last time I used it. That must have been a while ago, it's been generating codes for years now.

Not having use PB or Picasa, do they allow other users to add comments, and have things like groups and all that jazz like wot Flickr does? Personally I started using Flickr because my friends did, but it was nice and simple and did what I wanted, so I saw no need to change. That said, I use Facebook photos more than anything else, but that lacks the ability to display hi-res pics. -- ZX6R F2 - The Gravelseeker BOTAFOT #121, BBB #2

I think picasa allows comments not sure about pb I only use them both for storage to be honest, also use panoramio or whatever for adding pics to google earth too. Ive joined flikr and had a look about at the groups which is interesting though. Mind you the bedford ones are quite dead looking :-/ -- Donnie Lambretta Series 2 186cc "The Shitter" Lambretta LD 175cc "The Chopper" Honda CB500R "Look out, Donnie's about!"
