What is the best pic hosting site?

[lucasbytegenius]

Not sure if this belongs in digital imaging...

I need to post pics on this forum, but I want a free alternative to ad-filled, bandwidth consuming photobucket. Any ideas?

I like http://www.hunt101.com/

It is mostly hunting/outdoor pictures, but you can upload anything.

I guess you could use Flickr
http://www.flickr.com/
And then save the pics into your system, then post

Were you looking specifically for a photo hosting site?

 

[lucasbytegenius]

Yes, unless there's a way to upload directly from my system.

I host all my pictures on ImageShack.

Same here and if you sign up you can store photos just like photobucket. Just make sure you always use the Direct Link instead of the Forum Link to avoid advertising.

What do you mean, Forum link and Direct link?

What do you mean, Forum link and Direct link?

Direct:

Forum:

The forum one adds a link to the picture leading back to imageshack.

Well, I don't see any difference on this example, but thanks and I'll try it. Wow, AR actually came to help me...

Ahhh, I see...
The bottom pic turns into a link. Got it. I'll try it out, and thanks for the advice.

I prefer imagebam.com its fast and you can manage your files for free if you sign up. The only downside is the best you can do is 180x180 for preview and you can full-size direct link via forum IMG code. The admin of IB is also not a total douche and wont delete your files without VALID cause so you can't have a few people delete your photos.
