Flickr to Ipernity ... a good thing out of a bad

We should probably set up a Group ... ?

The flicker up-loader on Ipernity is a bit flakey on my old imac, so I'm having to up-load everything again from my HD, but on the plus side doing that gets rid of those flicker sharpening artefacts.

I'm just going to leave my flicker account to wither on the vine then ... so I preserve all the external links.
 
I was thinking of subscribing Flickr just few days ago! Thanks a lot for introducing Ipernity. I'll probably give it a try. Could you please tell me the cost of the paid service of Ipernity (as I couldn't locate that information). Despite 2 good new features (2GB and original file download ability for non-paid Flickr user,) the new Flickr layout, imho, is quite annoying. It also hogs my relatively slower internet connection. It's almost as if they got this layout/presentation idea from Google's image search engine!

Bests,

I think it was around £6 for three months .. otherwise one is restricted in the amount you can add each month, I'll subscribe for the year later
 
Do anyone has noticed free ipernity accounts may be shown ads? It's mentioned in diff table comparing free and club accounts.
 
I gave ipernity a try, but it's not for me. I'm not allowed to share photos to forums or websites unless I pay. So at that point photobucket is better.

I liked flickr for the community/groups, but ipernity doesn't have enough users yet for there to be much of an active community. So that won't sway me either.

I don't know : with Firefox/adblock, I almost never see any ad anywhere.

I think the issue here is the visiter who won't have ad bloc software installed. They will see the ads and if they are like me when I go to a site that has ads I turn around and leave. And some sites resort to ads that cannot be blocked by ad blocking software. Some even block you from accessing their site if ad bloc software is detected..
 
Has Flickr's layout ever been good? It was nasty to navigate and I didn't find out how to change the background why I happen to think important. Last year when I tried flickr it had such feeble upload limits on it that you'd need to pay for it to put it to real use anyway. The stuff I put up was completely public for the benefit of fans, not as a NAS to host photos for my friends and family. The idea that I should pay for driving traffic to their site and giving them search engine hits was never on for me.
 
It seems very good but I've never been keen on images being dispalyed on a white background. Is there an alternative view or is that it?
