TOPIC | Imgur?
I heard that you have to put pictures on the internet before you can put it here. Putting photos on websites like imgur, photo bucket and others. Personally I want to use something thats fast and simple. But what one works best for you.

Your query isn't really very clear. If I hadn't read your previous threads, I would have no idea what you're talking about. Are you asking which image hosting site works best for people?

I think imgur IS fast and simple, and I still feel that there isn't a vast difference between the various image hosting sites. Just pick one and go with it.

imgur is also good for something quick as it does not require registration.

I feel imgur is fantastic as you can Ctrl+v any image (including screenshots) in it, and upload it immediately. From files on your computer, too.

Fast, requires no account, takes no verification code unlike tinypic, and has an in-built editor/rescaler.

...never been to tinypic again after I discovered imgur though, not sure whether things changed there.

Out of imgur, tinypic, and photobucket I think imgur is the simplest and quickest. You don't need an account to post pictures- but you'll have to record all the image URLs and deletion links yourself if you're not signed up.

Tinypic is ok but requires a captcha/security code before you can post an image, and though it hasn't happened to me I've heard it's pretty bad with images getting replaced after a while. Like, one day your link will display an entirely different picture because someone else's randomly generated URL is the same as yours.

I use Photobucket a lot because I have an account there, and it'll get the job done, but it kind of sucks now, honestly. Slow, cluttered interface, long URLs, lots of crappy features being shoved in your face that you're never gonna use.

@Gemhydra depends on what you're wanting to upload.

deviantart's specifically an ART art site, and is by NO MEANS as fast or as simple as other sites mentioned, so you should only use it if what you're trying to upload is art you've created that you want to share. it's not really meant to be an image-hosting site in that particular sense, so i don't recommend using it for that.

if you're just trying to submit something moderately small, such as an icon, or a divider, etc., use imgur or any of the other suggested sites instead.

I actually do use Deviantart. They have a feature there called Sta.sh where you can upload images that aren't visible to others without a link, perfect for when I only want images visible on FR. I'm not sure if the feature requires a Core membership though.

Imgur would be another good one. No account is required.

Nobody wants to tell you why discipline is so important. Discipline is the strongest form of self-love. It is ignoring current pleasures for bigger rewards to come. It's loving yourself enough to give yourself everything you've ever wanted.
