RQOTD - What photo image host site do you use for posting photos in forums?

I have a private album at Photobucket. I've had it there for as long as I can remember.

Not finding errors there but there are a LOT of pop ups there now. I am not sure what to do. I'd have to delete several years' worth of photos from there.
 
I have a photobucket, too, but the free storage is all used up, so I don't use it anymore. Even when I would delete lots of pages of LOs, it still said the storage was full which made no sense. I started making blog posts for the designers I CT for and just keep the post private so I can store my pages/ pictures there to post in their forums. It seems to work and its free...you can do the same thing with FB; but FB can be finicky sometimes and I just think the blog works better!
 
I have been using Facebook since Photobucket started being wonky. :) I have a hidden album on my Facebook account that I use.
 
You can create a private album in FB. As a GS CT member, I use the secret GS site for CT's album to upload my LO's to.

Do tell! How does this work? Sounds like something I need to look into! How do you get the bbcode from a Facebook album to paste into a forum?
 
To make your album private in Facebook, you just click on a tab on the top left to make it private/hidden. When are first creating the album, there is a tab on the bottom left that defaults to Friends. Just change it to Only Me, and you are the only on that can see the album!

To use the image from Facebook, you right click on it and select copy image. Then in the forum, you click on the picture of the tree icon (next to the world icons). Paste the url in there and click ok. It will pop your picture right in your post.

I hope I did a good enough job of explaining. :)

I was recently introduced to Imgur and I love it! no problems so far! Photobucket has been driving me nuts lately.. hehe
 
I've been using TinyPic for a while now. I got so fed up with PhotoBucket!! I have an ad blocker, too, so TinyPic might have ads, but I don't see them.
 
I use photobucket too but sometimes I've issues.... and I hate that...
I didn't know that we can have privante album on FB. Good to know...
 
Yep, what Colleen said! I just click on the image so it's bigger and then right click and choose the "copy image location" and then paste it in the forum.
 
When Photobucket started acting up, I started a locked album on my personal fb for my ct LOs. No problems, so far
 
I've used photo bucket for years and just signed up with Imgur and so far that's worked fine. I'm totally intrigued by the private FB albums though!
