Image Uploads

[Ellie]

I'd just like to recommend Imgur as an image host, as somewhere safe, relatively ad-free, and secure to host images. There are size restrictions, so it's no good for hefty tilesets and such, but for the most part it should be suitable. Certainly less prone to go down than smaller hosts and such, and not as annoying as Photobucket or Imageshack.

I use Dropbox and Gyazo, and that seems to work really well for me.

I tend to use one of my personal domains.

Photobucket is only annoying if you try sorting things into albums or mess with the media options. I've been using it for years now, I don't think anything has ever been deleted unless I wanted it to. I haven't hit any kind of storage limit either.
652 images, almost all of it stuff that I posted here. Says I'm only at 2% storage. It host videos now too apparently. I just hit upload and copy the link. Actually, it use to be faster because where you copy the links it used to have one that already had the tags so I didn't have to type them. Now I do.[/s]
Nvm, I guess they imbeded the [img] in a [url] tag so people click an image it'll go to my photobucket. Yeah, I don't really like that so I copy the direct link instead and add the tags manually.

Dropbox is handy for temporary stuff. Like when I do art commissions and when I'm communicating with someone though a PM system instead of by email.

Hmm, it might not be a problem here I guess, but on a busier forum I go to Photobucket regularly blocks all of a user's photos if they're viewed too much and the bandwidth limit seems low for that.
