    I was using Tinypic but they have since switched to charging per month and since Ingo is the only place I need a 3rd party host Im not paying.
    Ive been using Imgbb and other than them putting a link to an ad under your pic its really simple. I like it a lot more than tinypic and it allows you to download several pics at once and with one link downloads them all at once.

    I'm not a social media genius but still figured out Imgur very quickly and it's easier than photobucket ever was.

    Pretty sure with IMGBB you can delete the ad link after your pic is uploaded, at least, you used to be able to, it's been a few months since I've used it.

    I use imgshare


    Posted an ad earlier and the pics kept getting removed. Went with imgbb and no issues. Went back to one of my active older ads and that pic was gone too.

    PB still has hundreds if not thousands of my pictures held hostage when overnight they changed to a pay site. I couldn't afford the ransom. My pictures could all be dead by now. Not knowing is the hardest part.... :crying:

    Really?
    I haven't been on there since they told me I had to pay for access. That was ages ago. Now I'll need to dig out my password and try to remember which email I used back then.

    Im even fighting my paid hosting service. It doesnt want to play nice with INGO. I can hotlink files from other web servers, but my web server just doesnt want to allow hotlinking on any of the newer files.

    Seeing what the support engineers say. But based on my testing, its a combination of INGO and my host.

    I haven't used photobucket for a couple of years at least, but they've been sending me "warning" emails telling me I'm over my limit for a free account. I just delete the emails. I only use imgur now.

    never keep anything online that isn't backed up on at least one physical device that you own.
    hard drive, CD, DVD, whatever.
