    Have just dropped Photobucket so looking for another free site.
    I upload a few images a year to post on forums.....not much more!

    Any alternative simple to use sites Please?

    Thanks Eldon will look.
    I too have a Yahoo account (BT/Yahoo) but trying to log in to find Flickr sends me round in circles ending with my emails every time......quite baffling!

    I use these 3 sites:
    Imgur https://imgur.com/upload
    ImgBam http://www.imagebam.com/basic-upload
    PostImage https://postimages.org/

    You can either create an account and upload or upload anonymously.

    A word of caution on ImgBam. I had my files stored there for over a year then they announced they were closing June 30th. I downloaded everything. Now they are back up but I don't trust them for permanent storage.
    I just use them for a quick paste at some forums.

    Eldon have been there many times and tried every combination possible....may try again today and also try plodr's suggestions.
    Thank you both.

    What browser are you using?
    Try a different browser.

    A vote for postimage.org. Free and images stick around forever even if hardly ever used. Makes galleries by subject if needed.

    FWIW
    Tracking Protection Lists, Add Blockers, Script Blockers, & other add-ons can and do have strange effects on some websites.

    This morning I went through all the add-ons and disabled each in turn.
    No difference.
    For info the screen sequence I see when trying Flickr:-
    Flickr.com
    Log in
    Yahoo
    Add account
    Sign in
    EMail sign in box
    EMails!

    Will try http://postimages.org/

    Thanks.

    Go to the top right and click Log in. Don't click Sign IN!
    You'll get sent to your yahoo email page and login there. When that's done, you'll be sent to a flickr page (see my 2nd screenshot).

    Even all the help and FAQs indicate there is a 'Sign In' button on the first screen (image posted)....but there isn't!?
    However I have tried both 'Log In' and 'Sign Up'.

    WELL! well!....while I was typing this I tried yet again going through the sequence in post 11 as I have done 30,40,50 times??
    At the 'Add Account' point a Flickr screen appeared, as per plodr's second image, and not the EMail screen and I was in.

    Thank You both for your help and your patience is a credit....mind you, my own didn't do too badly:)

    I did nothing different from the multitude of other times I attempted to get in....it just happens that one particular click produced a different result!:confused:
