I had been using Photobucket for that purpose for the last several years. I have a free account and have thus been putting up with annoying full-page ads that slowed down the site to a crawl, and near-daily spamming emails from Photobucket.

Then last week came an e-mail from Photobucket:

"Some features on your account have been disabled. We noticed that you have been using Photobucket for 3rd party hosting. [...] Our Terms of Service does [sic] not allow 3rd party hosting with your current account level."

It appears they have just changed the TOS to make the ad-filled "free" account essentially worthless.

Then they helpfully suggest, "To restore your 3rd party hosted images, please upgrade to a Plus 500 Plan."

That's $399 a year. Payable in advance.

Arrivaderci, Photobucket. I'll try postimage.org now.
