Does anyone know a good site for image hosting that enables you to direct link with the [img][img/] tags?

Help will be very appreciated

ImageShack is only good if you post thumbnails...because I\'ve noticed full size images don\'t work in a lot of forums.

Other sites I\'d recommned:
http://www.photodump.com (they brand the images with their website in any of the 4 corners that you decide, must register, unlimited bandwidth)
http://xs.to (images must receive at least 1 hit per month to stay on their server, unlimited bandwidth)
http://www.imgreactor.com (a good site, but you must register, I believe unlimited bandwidth, not sure though)
http://www.tinypic.com (insanely great uptime, no registration required, unlimited bandwidth).

I\'ve never had a problem with it.  They provide like 5 different ways to link a pic for forum use, one of them always works right (for me anyway)... and maybe you aren\'t staying under the maximum image file size?

as you can see, works for me

My wife and I are expecting our second child in February, so here\'s a sonogram of our next child @ 8 weeks old.  :)

:D Congratulations. Hope the baby turns out happy and healthy. :thumb:

The image appears to work here, but some other sites display this:

And by the way..."large images" means any image. Even 6kb ones. It\'s lame.

What\'s strange is...some people can see it...some people can\'t. I don\'t understand the issue. At least it works here. :)

Maybe there are certain sites that aren\'t allowed to remote link from, places where it\'s been misused/abused in the past.

Actually, I think I remember reading on their site that it\'s an extension problem, or something.
