I need suggestions for a safe image host website. I need the ability to link to a specific photo's URL in order to show that photo in a forum that requires an outside source for image hosting.
I've heard you can do this with Photobucket for example, but I've also heard they have a lot of ads or adware?
Anyway, any good suggestions/advice from personal experience?
I have been using the FREE version of Photobucket for over 10 years. They have a lot of ads on the website which try to get your attention, but I just don't click on them.
OneDrive is free and No Adds at all = yet :/
All that is needed is a free Hotmail.com or Outlook.com email address and you get 10gig's last I checked free storage
I've used Photo bucket and yes they do have allot of adds :)
One more slight catch with Photo bucket is the links you share via insert image for simply copy and paste the image is they Expire Onedrive are there as long as you don't delete or move the file in Onedrive

For forums I use postimage
It is very lean.
It works without Javascript, which is very very cool. So you can use it in any browser even text-based ones like Lynx or even disable Javascript entirely in your browser.
Doesn't use cookies either if you are worried abou privacy.
You don't even have to register or have an account, it's usable as-is.
The linked images redirect to the file directly, so no ads, or anything that might bother you.
Number of options are available. Flickr, Google Plus/ Picasa Web are few of them.
