Should your deciding factors rest on the internal search function, the lack of management response, other real or perceived problems, you would be well served to look for another hosting site. PBase has a very large community of supporters with several million hosted photos, but PBase might be right for you.
You joined PBase in May 2004, have no photos posted and have made only 3 forum posts. I suggest after 3+ years you decide what & where you want to go and focus your energy on this decision.
Should you decide to join & support PBase, post photos, you will find lots of support within the community.
Gee Doug, thanks for doing all that research on me.
I appreciate your suggestion.
When I posted My thread about PBases apparently notoriously fallible "Search", I was simply curious as to whether or not others had been experiencing the same thing, (which is not a perceived problem, mind you), and if anyone might be up to the concept of straightening it out for the benifit of everyone, Including You.
I am pleased that you are pleased with PBase, and if it matters to you, (and it might, judging by your strange interest in me personally), I have been quite vocal to friends, co-workers and other photographers about how wonderful I genuinely believe PBase to be.
Thank you again for your assistance, and please take note that this is probably my fourth forum post, although maybe not, as I don't keep up with such things.
Cheers and Best.
