Pic hosting thread Mk. II

Post by Simplicius »

The last thread dates back to 2003. If anyone is still having trouble finding a host or is willing to host for others, this is now the place to go.

Third-party hosts from Mk. I, confirmed:

Note that some people have reported slowness and other issues with Imageshack, and they were hacked by Anti-Sec in January 2009.

http://www.paintedover.com - for non adult pics, similar to imageshack or photobucket.

Note that http://quickrpickr.com/ can harvest images from flickr accounts in pre-formatted posts. This may or may not be to one's liking.

To add: Google offers an online album via its free-to-download program Picasa and a Gmail account.

Regarding QuickrPickr (a great site that I use a LOT) - you'll want to remove the "" from the provided phpbb code. Best way is to use 'replace all " ' on the provided code. Quick and easy.
To add: Google offers an online album via its free-to-download program Picasa and a Gmail account.
As a side note, while it's not something i'd use for that dedicated purpose - you can link to any of your images on a facebook account. (the size is naff though). Right click on the images and "copy image location".

Simple image hosting. No fuss. Image size limit is 3MB.
A scientist once gave a public lecture on astronomy. He described how the Earth orbits around the sun and how the sun, in turn, orbits around the centre of a vast collection of stars called our galaxy.

At the end of the lecture, a little old lady at the back of the room got up and said: 'What you have told us is rubbish. The world is really a flat plate supported on the back of a giant tortoise.

The scientist gave a superior smile before replying, 'What is the tortoise standing on?'

'You're very clever, young man, very clever,' said the old lady. 'But it's turtles all the way down.'

I use http://www.servimg.com as it has a simple interface and not laggy like photobucket. It has a 2MB limit though.
I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I have been experimenting with http://www.pict.com as a secondary host, for those images I want to post somewhere but don't want to 'keep.' It has a simple interface and allows unregistered hosting.
