Worth a look: New Coins-only photo sharing site.. Fast-free-easy way to archive & share your coin photos. https://collectivecoin.com/Edited to add: To post a coin image to the boards, just click on it to make it full size. Under the full-size photo you'll see links in blue; "Full Screen", "Forum" and "HTML". If you click on the "Forum" link, it'll copy the IMG code for the photo directly to your clipboard, just like photobucket does. Then you're free to paste it into a post. They are working on adding some basic editing tools. Seems to work here ok, has many of the advantages of photo bucket for coin collectors, with none of the junk spam popups or redirects.

All such web sites are OK. Only I simply use the upload thing right here and it takes a photo right off my hard drive. No transferring or anything needed. Works for me.

Interesting site. I don't see how they're abusing any trust in any way; no ads, no redirects, seems completely altruistic. There's some nice work already posted. Of course, more senior members don't have to leave Coin Community to have the capability: http://www.coincommunity.org/galler...hp?cat=10003Just sayin'.  |

This wasn't about the excellent gallery feature on CCF. Was looking for a way to link larger pics to CCF, most of mine are composites which average 2000x1000 pixels. Larger pics are better on the grading forum. The CCF image optimizer and gallery limit size. Imgur is banned here. Photobucket is nonsense with its popups and redirects. https://collectivecoin.com/ is a just a clean alternative. I know there are many other sites for this. Edited by Night-Hawk

Yeah, the available image size is really attractive. It fills a hole. I don't have the troubles that most people seem to with Photobucket, but all the same Collectivecoin seems like a really decent alternative.
Do you know the guys involved? I'm curious how they're covering hosting and bandwidth since there's nothing obtrusive on their site.

Hi All, it's my first time on CC but I post frequently on the PCGS boards. I started CollectiveCoin just recently with a friend (who did the excellent code), because I wanted to host my collection and also build a photo-first coin community. It's been great fun so far!
I focus on collecting bust quarter die varieties, and my collection is online under the username "Scubafuel". Everyone is welcome to try out the site if you're interested, and we're happy to answer any questions.
Best, Matt (scubafuel)

Another photobucket hater.

Well, this'll be the straw that breaks the camel's back for me with Chrome. Firefox opens collectivecoin fine, and Chrome is too buggy to use any longer.
