I will throw in one more photograph hosting site alternitive:
http://imgur.comImgur is a good basic photo hosting site which I have used for almost ten years, there is
no advertisement clutter, except for them wanting you to share your pictures with the world, but you are not required to. Their constant call for sharing your photographs, is the only spam.
One good feature of Imgur is being able to chose a picture URL fully formatted for use on ALR. This means you don't need to add the usual [img] style tags when posting to ALR. Another feature is the ability to size your photographs with the click of a mouse. This is helpful when including pix in email.
I am so glad folks have seen the light with Photobucket, it has grown increasingly awful over time and my dislike of the site has grown proportionally.
