I've been a subscriber to Photobucket for over 20 years. And lived through them stop hosting videos, losing images, and locking accounts to enforce extreme fees.. This new Groupy feature, that no sane user asked for, is the worst idea yet! It's time to move on....
What is the best site for hot-linking for forums such as Garage Hangout?
I embed my images here and most of the other sites I post to I do the same (most modern forum software seems to accommodate that now). Mostly because the image becomes a permanent part of the post and is not subject to the whims of a third party host. For me it's easier as well to post them here although admittedly it does need a learning curve.
I left PB a long time ago and have not really found a substitute. I hope someone will post one they have found.

I use this one. Not as whizbang fancy as the photobucket or some of the others but it is free though they do spin by with the paid version solictation on occasion trying to get a guy to bite.
