photobucket is the second one in all the above btw.....

Noticeable, but not as bad as I had expected.

Hmmm, seriously I can't tell the difference.

Someone enlighten me.

Photobucket has very little bandwidth available.

My sig is an example of that! LOL...

mainly the photobucket pics take a pretty good saturation and contrast hit.
not sure about softness since they are all getting resized on the site anyway.

I even resize all my pics to the largest height or width being less then 800pixel. flickr is a bitch to use is my oly issue. I have had an account with pics in it for a few years and have never used it cause of that.

I have issues with how flickr works. I don't like having to click to advance through the album.. I'm spoiled I guess since I really like the left right key advance.

I personally use smugmug.

the nice thing about flickr and photobucket is that they're free. but if given the choice between both I'd definitely pick flickr due to better color representation and IQ. I do have an account in all three but I only have a flickr to post on friend's photos and photobucket to post in FS threads xD

check out my crummy shots on smugmug tho. I think they do a good job with overall IQ and presentation :P
