Hello All,
Apparently my free Photobucket account no longer allows 3rd party hosting and wants a fee in order to do this. It will only allow the link itself at the "free" level. Can anyone recommend a good site for me to start using?
Thanks much!

You don't need to host your photos for this site. Do you need hosting anyway? I use(d) Photobucket but hosting is not needed on the other site I post on, either.

Hi Rob,
Thanks for the feedback. Here's where I show my lack of much computer knowledge. When I use the "insert image" icon, it asks for a "http" url. Do I need to convert the image to some kind of file in order for them to be in the right format?

Below the "Submit Reply" button in the "Additional Options" section there is a button to "Manage Attachments". You can add photos to a post using that method.

In case you don't really "got it," :p I just use the paper clip icon and it asks me to "choose file" (presumably, on your computer, phone, etc.)

Most now use FlickR, but there are a few other options as discussed here.

FlickR for me as it's free and pretty easy to use with my limited computer skills.
