Image hosting sites - your preferences?

As part of preparing the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Arse End of the Falco" I had to upload a couple of spreadsheets masquerading as images to Photobucket.

I hate Photobucket. With a passion.

It's just so fucking slow. It's like working in that kind of dream state where everything feels like it's encased in treacle. You make one mouse click and wait for 30 seconds. This is probably because it's relentlessly Flash-based. Another reason to hate it (as if I needed more).

So - what are the forum's fave image hosting sites? As long as it's free and quick that's a good start. Simple and intuitive would be nice. And NOT Flash-based...

I find Photobucket as easy and reliable as any.

You have no webspace of your own?

I used to rate jet screenshot however theyve changed their goalposts, but i think i'd have to go with photobucket..

Good point. Most broadband offerings come with some webspace attached... I'll check if my ISP (PlusNet) offer any.

For mac users I would suggest Flickr - it integrates with iphoto

For simplicity & ease of use, & reasonable speed (compared to Photobucket) - Tinypic

I use Imageshack but no idea whether photo-bouquet is better or worse.

I used to use Flickr and it was a lot easier to use than Photobucket - mostly just put mine on FB now.
