So what _do_ you want it to do that photobucket doesn't?!

Personally http://www.imageshack.us/ works for me, for just a simple
link to a single image - no account needed, very straightforward.

I use tinypic http://tinypic.com/ then post the "direct link for
layouts" so the image displays without the attendant crap.

e.g. http://i42.tinypic.com/dyrqtl.jpg

Eh? Just copy and paste the direct link to the pic you've uploaded on here.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Donwill
saying something like:

Simplest way, without an account, is
www.freeimagehosting.net.
Easy upload, just grab the url when it's finished.

For one off pics I would also recommend tinypic, no faffing around, no
flash, javascript or automatic redirection required. perfect for the old
school newsgrouper.

Photobucket actually works with the ancient browser on this RISC OS
machine - which is one reason I still use it.

I *started* to use that, since so many other people (outside DIY) use
it, then got bogged down in (and resentful of) all the attendant
registration malarkey.

I turned to tinypic: exactly what I wanted: perfect.
