After seeing people having issues recently with Imageshack, Photobucket, Flickr etc, I've decided to write this guide to help you host images for free.

You will need :

A Computer running Linux, Windows or OS X.
The Internets
Dropbox
Some cool pictures.


Guide.

Download and install Dropbox on your computer.
You can either google for it or use the link I've provided above.
I'd appreciate it if you used my link, as it classes as a referral and I get 250mb more space each time!

Once Dropbox has installed, you will have a folder on the computer under Documents. 


In here you'll see a folder called Public.



Drop your pictures in there, and you'll see a blue circle.  Wait until this goes green, then it's synchronised with Dropbox online. 


Right click on the image, go to Dropbox, then public link.


Paste that link on the forum using the usual img tags, and you have free hosting.

Been doing this for some time, Dropbox is awesome.
Soon Any file or folder wont have to be in the public folder, you just do the same and share. They just having some security issues with that update to sort before live.

Bacon:
Imageshack has been running 100% for me, the only issue i can see is that they have tried to circumvent direct linking to images but if you rightclick the uploaded picture and select view image its an easy way to get round it.

For anyone that would like to know :P

neXus:
Other then Dropbox - http://imgur.com/ is the one to use these days

What issues have people been having with Flickr?

I'm currently trying out Zenfolio...tis a bit steap (£90 for a year) but on the plus side it has a lot of features geared towards selling images...
