Imageshack.com. @ssjones use the imagethumb on photobucket to post small pics then people can click the pic to see it full size, which helps with overall forum running speef
I just upload an image to my album on this site. When I want to add an image to my post I keep two windows open to this site.
I click on the uploaded image to take me to its location, control+click (I'm on a Mac), which I assume would be a right click on a PC and scroll down to "copy image location" and select that.
Having made my selection, I click on the other window where I'm typing my post and select IMG. I paste the image location, click OK, and post. Works every time.
BTW, this is a Paul Tatum volcano
What I don't know how to do, is imbed a video into a post.

Yep, that is usually what I do. On the old Webshots, you had multiple size option choices for your pictures, from the one click interface, I miss that.
Jesse: Those are pix are too small (my opinion), and you can't click on them to make them larger (ie view in fullsize) That pipe is quite an eruption!
Sable,
...took me a minnit to figure it all out too,
but it turns out to be really easy, on this forum
allya gotta do is type in the vid addy & it pops up...
...like for this video, which is the Dutch comedian Kees van Kooten as his character E. Oosting,
I typed in

Also, I very much dig imgur, to add my refrain to the chorus.
But, it quickly reaches max limit and requires an annual payment to go further, but the interface is great, especially for posting on forums...
...but the thing here on PM.com is damn good to, and it's free, you have to click "your profile" on the homepage because somehow the user profile is different from the forums, but it's really easy to use as sablebrush said, here's an image from my PM.com gallery...
Yes, web forums taking total responsibility for their own images and allowing that to happen with " resonable " administration instead of putting it off on some other
" entity." Things like photo bucket should be for just a place to show off your favorite images or link to for " other " purposes, not a substitute for a forum that refuses to allow uploads because they just can't be bothered to deal with such a reality.

So far, imgur is harder to use than photobucket.
Al, if you click the little pallet icon in the left corner of your picture, a black edit button pops up on the page. After messing around I found that you can resize and do all the things that photobucket does, it just isn't as easy.

I'll second the vote for Postimage.org. I only use it for posting here, though, so it may not have the bells and whistles everyone wants. But it allows you to have "forum-appropriate" sizes and it couldn't be easier to use.
I'll also second (or third or whatever) the pleas of those who would like to do away with this 3rd-party image hosting altogether and just have the ability to upload photos directly here. The current approach makes the process of sharing images more difficult than it needs to be, IMO.

Keep them coming guys! I'm always looking to upgrade. I'm testing postimg.cc now. Will report back!
Nice going Al. I use photobucket and sometimes pics come out too large on forum posts. It is easy so I stick with it.
Please post and tell me hwat you consider the best site to post pictures from, and thanks for the information and your efforts in experimentation.

Hi Al,
Nice cheesecake to go with your pipe images!
The Tatum images are small. They're from his private page. As I own this pipe, I'll take some better snaps with my new camera.
@ misterlowercase: Thank you for the info. Somehow I knew that you would come through. I'll give that a try and hopefully won't screw it up.

I'm wondering what the limits are on postimg.cc. I have about 800 photos stored on Photobucket at the moment.
ssjones:
You have to dig into the postimage.com site a bit, but it doesn't look like there's a limit on the total number of images you can post. BUT, if you have the free account then images will be removed every six months if they haven't been viewed during that time. So it's not a place to dump your photos for long-term storage, unless you pay for a premium account. It really is just a service for uploading images for use in forums such as this one.
OTOH, a "premium" account costs as little as $1.95/month if you sign up for a year at a time.

Shoot, I thought there was some time frame limit. Thats a deal breaker for me. (there are too may free places to pay $2/month) Oh well, back to Photobucket. But, it never hurts to test new water.
