Anyone using an alternative that doesn't require a masters in Computer Science? I'd just like to be
able to put a picture there every so often and then be able to link to it.

Thanks!



John, I 100% agree with you regarding Photobucket. It has become a
nightmare to use.

I tried "Shutterfly". Not as bad but still a bit convoluted.

I just discovered that "TinyPic" (might be part of TinyURL) has free
picture and video postings and I tried it. You have to respond to and
type the response to a simple question that they use to filter out bots,
but it's fast and easy. You can select from different sizes for the
uploaded image
and it provides you with the URL link for various ways to share it.
You don't have to register or "join" either. Just follow the directions at:

Worked fine. Here's something else you can do. When it displays your
image with all the URL options on the left side, click on your image
and then on the "raw image" at the bottom. It will now display your
image without all the TinyPic stuff. If you then right click on the
image, then on "Copy image location" it will copy that URL into your
clipboard. If you use that URL, your image will be displayed without
any TinyPic stuff on it. It will look like this:
