Part of this post is incorporated into the forum at PBase.com which hosts my wildlife photography. There are a lot of resources to accommodate such an endeavor, but I've found Pbase to be the best in what it does.

PBase apparently uses many computers to maintain its 116 million images at the time of this writing. The servers are new and old and depending on which you may be using at the time of your visit, it may be obvious.
There's nothing like an out of the box computer to solve so many internet ills. It certainly doesn't take very long for that enjoyment of speed to fade which can certainly be attributable to a number of factors.

I've only been a PBase member for a couple of years (with the use of two computers), and have experienced a lot of what is often complained about in the forum. I can't say that PBase can be blamed for everything it's been accused of, and give it kudos for the interest in improving the photo experience to be the best that it can be.
It's been interesting to watch PBase change. I'm very confident with its conservative approach.

With regard to the upload speed issue, I've experienced that opportunity as an inconvenience as well, and have discovered a solution to whatever the cause.
To improve updating images uploaded with the desired title and so on quickly, I've found that if you have PBase open in two windows, you can use the one to upload your images and the second to make your modifications to the uploaded image when you use this approach. It may seem an odd way in completing the task at hand quickly, but it works.
The complaint that uploads take a long time is funny because uploads to PBase are almost instantaneous.
Perhaps this extra effort may not be necessary at some point.
Where does PBase not deliver on a promise?
