Anyone using this site to publish pictures? I've mainly used Flickr in the past for the small number of photos I've uploaded and while it certainly doesn't have the sense of community of Flickr (discussions, etc.) it looks and feels a whole lot better.

Yup, been using it for a few months also. Sold a handful of photos on it as the sales rate on the website is very low compared to others.
 
I joined a number of months ago, but have only just posted couple images. The standard seems quite high compared to Flickr. It's irritating when viewing others work that larger images aren't available. I'm considering paying for the $20 account .
 
Is it worth the cost?

I've thought about getting it for the sets. Sometimes I think it would be nice if I could organise my pics into categories rather than have them on the one page. Don't have a huge amount of pics up at the minute but I think the more I put on the more likely I'll upgrade at some point.
 
i've known about this site for a while, but never really looked in to it.

After watching a video on you tube and ofc it has a 14day trial so thought why not i use flickr which I find isn't that great as it used to be, not many comments etc.

Within 30mins, ive had a lot of interest :D soo do i now spend $50 hmmm

Oh Q:

Not looked but is there any small print saying about copyright etc?
 
I do like the look of the site, there is a high standard of work and you tend to get more views when you initially put something up that you do on Flickr. However, I always tend to forget to look at it, or add new images to it. I think more than anything its down to there just being so many places to exhibit your images.
 
is the capability as good as smug mug? as you can also sell your photos on there too?
