Ok, I swear I searched the forums with a fine toothed comb before posting this, as it MUST have been discussed before, but...
Can anyone recommend a free image hosting site that I can use to post images on PJ? I used to just use my own site but since going MySql/WordPress it doesn't seem to work. I've tried sites like Postimage.org and Glowfoto but somehow the links don't seem to work for me. Anyone have a favourite? Thanks!

Yeah, I use photobucket. Flickr is weird to find img link, and Deviant Art only allows you to link to the page [which is very much frowned upon around here].

I've been using Photobucket for a while, but I don't like how it shrinks down larger images. Can anyone recommend one that doesn't do that?

Imageshack.

I use Photobucket for the bulk of my work -- but if I've got anything 'large' that i need to post I use Imageshack.

I've never had that problem with Deviant Art. Just right click on the pic, then select view source and copy the img link.

I thought Deviant Art got a bit pissy if you did that.....?

This is exactly what I do also. I noticed a bit of a lag when you load a page with Imageshack hosted pics, but not a big deal if you only use it for the large images.

Yeah, DeviantArt used to ban you for hotlinking images. I'm not sure if that's still their policy or if it's just something they have a hard time tracking due to the sheer volume of files on their site now.
