THANKS PRETTYMAL
Hi there, fellows suffering Photobucket's BETRAYAL !!
As many people know, by now, Photobucket suddendly abandoned us in middle of problems, not supporting anymore links of our private photos or textures. PB got crazy: they demand about $ 400 yearly in order to maintain our files !!!! Incredible.....
There below a my helping research for new, possible, sites, hosting and giving CODE, showing different characteristcs.
TIP= If the site do not provide any ready button for your language, add an automatic translator as Extension/AddOn to your browser
)
Note= In the list there are not both Photobucket (obviously) and TinyPic since this last is not anymore a trusted site (it brings Hijacks etc.)

MY PERSONAL CHOICE
* is
http://postimg.org/ because it has just ALL we need, and more: SLLprotected, large size admitted (8Mb), also format Psd (Photoshop) accepted, no limit for time and storage, upload your files directly from web by url (e.g. from your Photobucket), multiple upload, and finally you can have your albums.
* about video (swf), I will use
http://www.xooimage.com either
http://www.imagebam.com/* for to convert 24bit Png to lighter 8bit Png, I use
www.tinypng.comI would like if this my research might help you : ))
