This may be a worn out topic but I'm new to it

Flickr or Pix.ie for hosting and posting pics?

Which is easier to navigate?
Do either give view counts?
Best for posting the images on boards?

Cheers.

Pix.ie has good interaction with boards.ie. In fact it was developed with input from this forum. You can simply copy/paste the [IMG][/IMG] tags directly.

Flickr requires you to pay for a pro account to maintain your library. Otherwise old stuff gets removed.

Pix.ie ftw.

i like the pix.ie thing myself but from previous discussions around these parts it does appear to be a very personal thing with people. I have both - more active on pix.ie but have been slack of late in posting. I view/browse more/more often on pix.ie (everyday) than flickr (infrequent/once a week maybe). Again, I know that others love the whole group thing which you'll get more of with flickr.

try both and see what you like.

I find flickr easier to navigate.

Both Pix.ie and Flickr.com give view counts.

Pix.ie seems easier to post to Boards.ie initially but once you get used to Flickr it is just as easy to post to Boards.ie too.

Flickr has more international posters and has many forums where as
Pix.ie is mainly an Irish site with mostly but not all Irish contributors.

Flickr is handy in that if you have a Pro account there is no bandwidth limit. There are definetly more options and tags and even writing descriptions for your images is better.

However, whatever algorithms Pix uses the images definetly look noticeably better and there is good interaction between the service and Boards.

So for more features Flickr, for better looking images if you're posting to forums then Pix.

Pixie IMO wins clearly on 2 of the above and wins onh the other one. :cool:

Peace

I started with Flickr and then bought a pro account. The costs is very little if you buy for 2 years (less than 50euro).

I also find the interface easier to use for some reason. Also the posting of pics is now a copy & paste of the code so some of the infor given above is out of date i think.

.Longshanks.

For whats its worth, i hate the pix layout. I find flickr much easier to upload / add descriptions / search by key word or simply navigate.

But its 6 of one and half a dozen of another. Have a look at both and use whichever feels best for you.

Pix.ie for me, Flickr has changed its format and just make its harder for me to show pictures on forums

Pix.ie for me.

I was always a big viewer of flikr and when the time came for me to upload my own pic I weet to join it but I needed a yahoo email and I found that too cumbersome to set up :eek: so switched to pix and for me it's so simple to use. Very happy now that I went with px.
