I wanted to upload an image but don't know what picture host to use.
Which one would you suggest ?

I use google photos.
It doesn’t seem to work all that well though, some pictures can be seen by everyone, some by some members but not others, and some either load or don’t when I go back to the thread page.
I should probably find a better host. Or work out what I’m doing wrong :wink:

If I need a link to an image I just use Imgur to upload it, since you don't need an account and you don't have to post your images to the gallery.

Postimage (postimages.org)

There's no need to register or 'sign in', etc. They did make some changes to their site a couple of years ago, and pictures that I uploaded to the earlier version no longer show up on this site.

I upload photos then choose what size I want, as well as the type of link I need.
This is a BBcode link to a large thumbnail.

I convert the image using "Meme Generator".
https://imgflip.com/memegenerator

Generate the "Meme".
Right klick on the generated meme,
And copy and paste the image location.

There are better solutions, I'm sure,
But hey,
It works well enough for me and you have a "Meme Generator", to boot. :wink:

Imgur is free and has been working well for me. It also has a button that will create the appropriate size for the forum.
