Both have uses and both have drawbacks. Tinypic's drawback is that it seems to want to bombard users with pop-ups for the privilege of using their hosting. But using it is very simple when in a pinch. http://tinypic.com/
Photobucket.com has always been user-friendly and easy to work with, but unlike tinypic.com, Photobucket has a carrot up it's rear pertaining to large images. Not large filesizes, mind you -- Just large pixel widths. Photobucket automatically compresses large pictures to a size of no larger than 640x480, even if the filesize itself is not that large. But the service is free, so who can really complain.
For example, a four color .gif:
In Photobucket: http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c217/gamerwoman3d/blackwhite-1.gif
Vs. Full size through tinypic:

Now, I suppose my question, if any, is: Does anyone use a free alternative to photobucket/tinyurl that they're particularly happy with?
Thanks for the feedback in advance.

| I've never heard of tiny pic before, but I've used photobucket for at least 9 years and I've always liked it, if you're putting up a pic for a board it's a great site to use since it does resize automatically.

| Ah! Okay, sounds like I'll stick with photobucket for images to display here, and tiny for things to outlink (supposing out-linking is allowed here.)
