Photobucket hosting no longer an option - is there a free alternative?

(1/2) > >>

CountryBumkin:
Since Photobucket changed its policy on allowing free users to hotlink photos, all of my prior links are now gone.
I'm looking for an alternative - Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud, GoogleDrive, Flickr. Not sure what will work for my use and still be a free service.

I'm trying Windows "OneDrive" now. I can upload photos to the Cloud and include a link in my posts, but I don't want a link - I want the photo to be visible in the post without needed to click/open it.

So OneDrive has an "embed" feature. Not sure how to use it yet. I'm testing here (below). Hopefully a photo will show below and not a link.

EDIT: Well it didn't work. I'll keep researching. If anyone has an idea on this, please post. Maybe GoogleDrive or Flickr is the answer.

CountryBumkin:
It's not the avatar/gif that I'm concerned about.

For example, I did a bunch of posts in the Television section (see "USA TV Setup") where I went step-by-step through the setup with photos of each step - where photos were linked to my Photobucket account. Now all the photos are gone. i'm not willing to pay Photobucket $400/yr. Not just on this forum, but also all my photos on the auto and DIY forums I contribute to as well.
 
So I'm looking for a new place to store photos and "hot link" to them from within these forums.

The Windows OneDrive looked promising, but all I can do so far is put a "link" in the forum and have not found a way to have the photo display like a thumbnail.

Try flickr.
