Hello,
I wanna post some pics of my lights here.
What host are you using?.
Thank you for your help.
Cheers.

Could anyone give a quick reason why they prefer one over the other?
The years fly by, tinypic was new and I needed something and they were good enough then. Before them it was that nameless site that killed so many forum posts across the web.
Tinypic is clunky and I’d love to use something else but I hate signing up for anything else cuz it’s just more spam. I figure you all have a preference because you post pics and don’t have any trouble with either of the above. Are both of them mobile friendly?
I use abload.de
The site's in German, and here's why I like it:
@elbakan1
You can use imgur.com, is quite good.
@bansuri
You don’t need an account to use imgur app in your smartphone. And yes, imgur is quite mobile friendly. The only drawback is when the app ask a few times to sign in for post, but you can skip it.
Thanks agri, I’ll give it a try!
Imgur, it’s ad supported by millions of users that browse images there, so it’s a lot more likely to stick around for free than other image hosts.
I use ImgBB. Haven’t had any problems. Easy to use. No photo editing or anything but I make all my pics 800x600 before uploading them. I only use it to post pics here. You don’t even need to be signed in to upload images. I just upload my pic, copy the code, and paste it in my post.
I’ve only used imgur so far. Pretty satisfied with it.
Why do we need to use a hosting site to display pictures on BLF,on other forums I use I can upload photos straight from my phone or iPad.
This is an unpopular opinion here, but I’m an Android user, and I just use google photos. Yeah, google is evil, but so is imgur.com. Google does score fairly high on the “not likely to disappear any time soon” scale.
I agree with google and imgur being evil. But the lesser evil may be imgur, ’cause google just like to kill services without warning, so I’m not so sure about the “not likely to disappear soon” factor. So far google has killed 12 apps, 137 services and 12 hardware device projects. Some of them with reasonable explanations but others just because they want and can. Just check the Google graveyard is kinda funny 
.
To me, any big ad driven service with millions of users will be fine to use, but what is profitable for imgur (or any other images hosting service), maybe it is not for google.
Because it cost money for space to host the photos. SB keeps this site up and running by himself, for free. Besides the very basic rules of the forum, us as users hosting our images elsewhere helps keep his cost down.
Testing one two, one two.
Nice collection. Dubious hosting service 
There is a lot of internet drama around postimage.cc and postimage.org, not sure if is wise to use any of them.
Test, one two, test.
The Golston 7watts, in front of the MS12, was the father of the
LED flashlight revolution.
Yep, I seem to be running out of space.
Cheers.
