Photobucket has gone nuts.
I'm looking for a new, photo-sharing website with the following attributes:
I've been on this board since the 1990's, this is only my 3rd or 4th post...so spare me the flames.
Thanks in advance.

postimages.org
Agree with imgur. They also have a really good extension for Chrome / Chromium that helps with rehosting.
Agreed. Photobucket lost me. Tools
yup. imgur, quick and easy, no signu or account required.
One caveat. Once you upload, they give a link to the image but that link won’t work at some places, including here because it has no image extenstion ie. image.jpg, image.png, image.gif
You have to click on it and then right click>view image(firefox). That will go to a page with just the image which does have .jpg, .png, .gif at the end
I use http://postimages.org/ for posting images here. No problems so far.
I have been using Flikr for 4yrs now. PB went bad or started going bad back then. Flickr allows me to copy image address’ for specific image size so as not to post very large images which is nice. It is just simple posting code with the image address.
Everybody will have their own flavor so have fun trying them out.
Linked Flickr photos are in my profile.
Thanks everyone! Photobucket hijacked hundreds of my photos! I’ll try one or more of the suggestions.
Been using postimages.org. I find it better than photobucket was even before PB went off the rails.

When clicking one of the thumbs on your account page, you should be presented with this sort of thing:
Clicking the blue 'copy' button next to 'Direct Link' will copy all the info for the image itself.
Better yet, clicking the 'copy' button next to the 'HTML' option gives one all that's needed to make it show up on FR pages - just paste, no coding needed.
I’m not clear on what you’re saying; do you mean that I can “right click” on ANY photo of ANY website and get this feature, or, to use FR to accomplish this.
I clicked on “Account” (on FR) and there is no sub-heading that covers this procedure.
In the past, I have right clicked on other webpages’ photos and done a “copy”; it works on facebook, but not on FR.
Please clarify for this feeble 72 year old so I can simplify my life...somewhat.
thanks,
FrankR
Are you a photographer or are you looking for a way to upload images/memes so they can later be dropped into websites like FR?
Another vote for imgur.
How (or can you) post an animated gif on the board?
I tried yesterday and didn’t have any luck
