I've been using imgur.com and it's really easy.

I think it could be far better if member learn how to resize pictures and upload here
every time a member photo hosting account is deleted picture are gone
having post mutilated of pictures is a great loss

But PA has limited photo hosting space.  Every time you upload a picture it deletes one from older posts.

+1

I've been satisfied with Imgur and, in my experience, is more responsive than PB ever was.

I think using an outside image hosting site is the better option.  Sure, there is a risk of losing the images if the hosting site chooses to do something like photobucket did.  But if you upload directly to PA it causes older pictures to be deleted due to lack of storage space.  Then  you get posts that have this message instead of the picture that was attached.....[attachment deleted by admin].  I would rather take the risk of losing my pictures instead of knowing that I'm deleting someone else's every time I upload a picture.

that's horrible.
Post without pictures are lost knowledge
I dont know the exact specs of this forum but it looks like a pretty standard php+mysql
there are many hosting nowadays with huuuge storage (also for very cheap)
moving the site could be a nuisance but it is feasible.

Thanks guys. I have an account set up on Imgur. I wish I could retrieve all my 106 pages of pics I lost with Photobucket. That was a lot of years of bow building, arrows, leather work, etc. with lots of memories of past Tenn. Classics.
 I think I'll try a test run...

Now, how do I post a pic directly and not just a link?

There is an img code similar to PB.  When I upload a picture there are several options on the right side of the screen.  One of them is sized for message boards.  Once you figure it out you will like it a lot better than PB

I also have a question about Imgur: if I go to "embed" and copy the link in my pa- post, than I go to "preview" this post, I only can see the link, not the pic, is tis correct

So, if you type a message, and use the  attatchments and other options link below, thats bad? It causes other pics to deleate?
