Free image hosting sites? Photobucket just informed me that I needed to UPGRADE.

I received an email from Photobucket today saying they had "noticed" that I was using Photobucket for 3rd party hosting. It went on to say that any image from Photobucket linked to a website was 3rd party hosting and was not in accordance with their rules for my account level. Clicking on the upgrade now button gave me the opportunity to achieve a level where 3rd party hosting was permitted. The drawback was that the cost was $400 a year!

I have used Photobucket for years to host images for posts here at the Brickboard. I don't monitor how often I do that, but between the Brickboard and a couple of other sites I would say it is less than 50 images a year and none of them are for commercial purposes (they are also not posts that would put a huge demand on Photobucket's servers because of heavy traffic). Sorry Photobucket, but $400 a year is unreasonable.

So, what image hosting sites are people using to link images to their posts? My internet provider, Spectrum (TWC), does not offer any storage space for that purpose.

Thanks,
Randy
