Chuck, I and many others are using Imgur for image hosting. So far it's free and will preset your pics to a usable size for posting here. It's pretty simple to upload pics here once you get the hang of it.

I know people like Imgur but I don't like clicking all the links. just resize them on your phone and post them on your phone

Thanks Pat and Deerhunter I will check out Imgur. No cell phone here only will be using a laptop. Will Imgur resize for you or do you have to resize yourself before uploading to Imgur? Thanks again Chuck

They'll resize for you.

I’m interested to know this also. I haven’t posted any pics in a long time because I can’t get my photo bucket to work. I’ve tried posting pics from my phone just by clicking the insert image icon at the bottom left on a post but I couldn’t get it to show up.

Imgur is very easy to use.  It's way more convenient than photobucket ever was.

When you resize a picture and load it onto PA without an image hosting site it deletes an older picture from past posts. The PA site has a limited amount of storage space.  We've lost some great build-a-longs and posts because of that.   That's why I use an image hosting site.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left
