Hi All,

What is the best way / place to host images for posting to board based AARs?  I am looking for a free option, with some longevity and where it is easy to get the image URL.

Not certain where this belongs, so apologies if this query is in the wrong place.

I don't know if this applies, but when I upload pics online that I want to share, I use Photobucket.

http://photobucket.com/

It's free to use and simple enough to figure out. Once you upload a pic to your library, you can click a gear icon on the image that will give you an option to "Get Links." Then you just click on the link you want, and it will automatically copy it for you to your clipboard. Then you just post it according to whatever rules you need to use.

+1 for Photobucket. It's the best free image host I have used.

Photobucket or Flickr are both pretty good.

Another Photobucket user here.  It's free, and even I can figure out how to use it.  ;D
