I've been using Photobucket for years but lately it's been a bloody pain in the arse! Like today - I log in, press the upload button, it takes me back to log in, I log in again, press the upload button, it takes me back to log in WTF!!!!!! It seems slower than ever and a right pain in the arse lately.
What are the best FREE alternatives out there please?

Just used it - quick & easy, didn't even have to log in or set up an account which is a bit weird. Cheers jayman.

How do you clever dicky's post pics?, also post youtube videos too,
i have posted on last listen etc.. and all i can do is copy and post a link,
i see some peeps can actually post a opening image of said video/song with a play button on it,
i am just rubbish with computers.

Posting pics is easy, just go to a site like postimage, set up an account, (although you don't have to by the look of it but I don't know how you'd keep track of your pictures if you don't), click on upload, select the photo on you computer and double click. It will upload to the website. Once it has, click on it and copy the direct link. Back here at HFS open a message and click on the little "insert image" button and a pair of brackets appear in your message. I usually hit the spacebar to give you a little more room then right click between the brackets and paste the link you just copied. Sounds a lot to do but it's easy really. Don't know about embedding video will be interested to find out myself.

I've just put up a guide to posting videos for anyone that needs it. It's at the top of "Admin-Intro-Chitchat"
