Photo hosting and gallery software

[cheddarmonger]

What do folks use for posting their images?
I started with Photobucket, and I think it is awesome.
When I ventured into my own hosted domains, I first tried PHP web gallery based on McGobbo's recommendation.  http://phpwebgallery.net/
I really like the software, but it had some limitations in the 1.5x versions, notably limited user administration and lack of custom fields.  Also, my French language skills aren't that great, but most of the documentation is in French.  The nail in the coffin came when I started using an integrated CMS so that Cheddarmongers wouldn't have multiple logins just to use my site, and there was no easy way to integrate this software into a CMS.
Now I use Gallery http://gallery.menalto.com -- it has tremendous flexibility, and I'm able to integrate it into Drupal, the CMS I am currently using.
My biggest problem is performance right now; the site is usually slow to navigate, and sometimes it doesn't work at all.  I think it is an issue with the host, perhaps they do not allocate enough resources, or maybe their configuration doesn't accomodate all the database calls that the apps require.

Anyway, I've learned a whole bunch about php and mysql through this; check out my http://www.cheddarmongers.org site!

My personal Gallery (not the one on the main site) and is set up with Coppermine. If you have not already been to it just PM me and I will sedn you the details :icon_wink:

[cheddarmonger]

Yep, Coppermine looks like a decent one, too, pretty configurable, but I don't know if it can be integrated into CMS quite as nicely as Gallery.

Well I had no issues with photobucket until I posed a picture with naked breasts  Apparently nudity is a no no so im looking around for other options.
