I use Imgur and have never received one of those pictures saying my posting rights have been revoked, etc.

I'm now paying for ImageShack.

Like free sites always do, PostImage turned into an unreliable piece of shit and I decided to spend money rather than move to another future free disappointment.

I have used Flickr.com in the past for the few pictures I have posted here and 2 other sites.
No problems.

I’ve used ImageShack for a decade. $20/year. Hosts avatars too.

But the OP likely wants a “free” hosting site.

They say if it's free, then you're the product being sold. Wink


Made me look though, been paying my photo host for 23 years.



Which adds up to an impressive sum of money.
But that's what makes the system work.

I have been using "postimages.org" for years without any issues... other than posting a profile pic. Had to go private for that one!

All the times it's been posted yet I don't have one I can use anymore, so I'm willing to hear it again.

Postimages started messing mine up when doing the free/anonymous option. Once I signed up/signed in it doesn't seem to be an issue.

I will try that. I have a burner email just for this type of situation. Maybe having a login will stop my issues.

It is still free, or do you pay?
