What to use instead of Photobucket?

Elwood

Photobucket has taken rubbish to a whole new level. What do the members of this fine parish recommend?

Imgur is the only one I can get to post from iPhone

Flickr for displaying photos in albums and stuff. 

Imgur for hosting purely for forums. And it's own great community and sense of humour.

Thanks folks, will check imgur out.

Imgur.com every time, easy to use on mobile gives direct links and not full of nasty spam shite.

Using Photobucket is terrible. So many adverts it runs very slowly.

Lots of "how to" links (and links to other issues too) on here

Imgur seems to be the best bet, then copy the link to the .jpg file into the "attach image file" box.

Lots of people (including me) CBA to click on links for a plethora of reasons, so paste at least one image in a post to act as a teaser.

Btw is there a chance that the use of photobucket would get banned from the forum? Question for @TTony I guess. The amount of nasty popups, malware, sex ads and other crap I really don't want to look at when looking for another guitar or checking someone's ngd pics is just ridiculous. It annoys me to the point that I've stopped looking at threads with photobucket links cuz i don't want to risk the safety of my devices. So it kinda limits my use of forum and also makes the other side losing a number of post views/replies.
Anyone else with same issue?

I had the same problem, tried imgur for half an hour, then ditched it...ended up with Flickr, seems much better.

Photobucket is history, its so crap.

I can't seem to sign up for flickr, it keeps trying to make me create a new yahoo email address, and I'm fine with my current email address thank you!

Yes, I had the same problem, so I ended up using postimage.
