Another Image-Hosting Site Down
I have been using Imagebam.com to back up my images in my RV-3B blog, with Tinypic.com as the main host. I figured that with two sites, I'd have a chance of having at least one remain active.
Today I saw this message on Imagebam.com:
"We?d like to inform you that we will be shutting down services on June 30th, 2017. Please download and backup your files before this date."
On a personal basis this won't have any impact - I store all my images on my computer and they are only referenced as back-ups in the blog.
Does anyone know of an additional reliable, easy-to-use photo hosting site that facilitates easy uploading to VAF?

I've been using the minimum paid level on Photobucket.

Photo site shut down
I recently found myself in the same position as I was informed by my image host Phanfare that it would be shut down. They recommended that I transfer all my images to SmugMug.com which I subsequently did.
After some early "growing pains" learning the new site I have become quite familiar and now like it, I also found it fairly easy to upload photos to this forum.
Scott Schmidt has a thread here on VAF on how to use SmugMug to upload images to VAF.

When Picasa (free) shutdown I switched to Flickr (also free). However, the only reason I use it is so I can post pics to Forums like this one.

Photobucket, although the free service is plastered with ads and popups making it very slow to accomplish your task. You get what you pay for...

IMGUR is free and AFAIK, no popup ads. It also provides for different size photos with a direct link to pop into the forum image tool.

I switched to flickr after I realized tinypic was unreliable. It is a little less intuitive at first but once set up it is a breeze.

I decided to just pay up. I'm now using an AWS S3 bucket with scripts that make it silly easy.
