What Image Hosting site do you use, and how do you use it?

I used to use Photobucket back in the day when it was free, but lately I've had a ton of issues trying to post images to the forum. No matter what link I try, I just see [img]LINKTEXT[/img]. Super frustrating. Anyone got a good free option to try?

I ditched Photobucket some time back myself, and someone on here pointed me towards ImgBB, which has served my purposes pretty well since.

Imgur. If it goes to shit my posts will become unreadable hellscapes, but life is short.

thirded. it's the best option for most needs and situations and very unlikely to go anywhere or substantially change policies anytime soon

imgur, my own webspace, or sometimes i'll just upload something to Discord and then link it off-app. i've actually been doing the latter a lot lately.

So I tried Imgur on a recent post and had the same problem and no image would show. Ended up just posting the link. What link am I supposed to be using?

This one:

Linked BBcode is handy when you want a "click for full res" thumbnail - just put an h, l, m or s (huge/large/medium/small) on the image link.

^ quote this post and check the HTML, for an example

Totally been there. I have discord up a lot so sometimes it's just easier. Generally I use imgur though.

Imgur. I used to use photobucket before it went to crap.

I never understood why everyone was using piece of shit services like photobucket, tinypic, imageshack etc. It almost offends me that somebody still use them.

Imgur is OK, but i personally don't like it, as 1) additional compression they do 2) Interface and functionality became worse over the years

Usually i use postimages.org or, even i want lossless, abload.de (or, perhaps, cubeupload).

imgbb is kind of nice, too. I also used to use Flickr heavily for image hosting, but recently they shifted focus to be mainly a portfolio site for photographers so you can't have more than 1000 pics on free account there. I guess GooglePhotos can fill "casual image hosting" role instead now.

For (optionally) nsfw pics, imagebam is most decent one. Others have horrible uiux, ads, banners and worse. Also imagevenue, if can stomach flash interface.
