Image hosting for forum hotlinking

Hi folks,

care to share your experiences with our favourite free (as in money) Image hosting sites for forum hotlinking?

Please tell a bit about the site as well.

Mine was a small German one - abload.de - but they no longer accept new files since they did not get the voluntary support for the server costs. But at least the already uploaded images stay valid and can still be hotlinked.

Added in 4 hours 31 minutes 41 seconds:
Snooping around the forum I realized donald now uses https://postimg.cc and it seems a good choice. :)

I activated JavaScript so I have no idea if uploading still would work without. All other stuff is very easy and functional.
Cheers!
Yours Rava

https://postimage.org/ is what I use. http://imgur.com/ works also.

Welcome back Rava. :)

Lol ... both of your links -- postimg.cc and postimage.org
redirect to the real url: https://postimages.org
When an image is uploaded i copy the 'Direct Link' in.

You know, I could have mentioned that. I choose postimg.cc since it is the shortest of the 3 variants.
Cheers!
