[quote name="SunBlind" post="67622" timestamp="1138065492"] [size=1]Since I post a lot of tutorials I decided to have the screenshots and examples remotely hosted to preserve space. Of course, I checked out ImageShack first, you know, 'cause it's ImageShack. I thought it was alright and used it for about... 10 minutes. It was taking forever to upload the 8+ pictures I use for each tutorial... and I have about 30 of those. I did a little bit of browsing and found a free image host, PicTiger, that totally blows ImageShack away. The only drawback is the inability to transload images. Aside from that, I love it! Here is a list of PicTiger's features: 1. You can upload multiple pictures, up to 10 at a time (no need to register or purchase "upload credits") 2. You can add a description AND categorize your uploaded images 3. You can create and manage albums, which include a commenting system 4. There are advanced uptions for uploading images including Auto-Crop, Fit, Sharpen, Custom Image Size, Custom Thumbnail Size, and Web Optimization. 5. THE LOGIN BOX IS ACTUALLY ON THEIR SITE!! You don't need your registration URL everytime you want to login. 6. Their site is prettier AND their logo is a tiger. Come on, who would win in a fight between a frog and a tiger?

Topic Summary

Well imageshack i agree it it slow at certain times of the day most probably due to the high number of users they have.

Anyway thanks for recommending pictiger. It is a great site compared to imageshack at least it allows multiple uploads of files and the picture loads faster. What i don like is the 1mb file size limit though. Pictiger does not allow the hotlinking of the actual image (1024x768), it only allows you to hotlink a thumbnail, unlike photoshack which allows you to hotlink the orginal image.

Just my 2 cents worth anyone has other comments?

Is hotlinking allowed?

I use pictiger images hotlinking in most of the forums I use. I use Imageshack hotlinking in other forums. So, my sigs don't disappear simultenously on all my forums.

ImageShack offers some wide ranged tools, which for me are really great.

I mostly use ImageShack QuickShot v1.5 when im ingame or if im doing tutorial screenshots where it simply uploads straight to ImageShack

ImageShack QuickLoad v1.0.36 is quite usefull too, right click image on your pc > Upload to ImageShack.

Ima try out PicTiger see what its like. THanks for the info

The only catch with PicTiger that I found was that it did not allow a normal hotlinking of the uploaded images. One can only hotlink the tumbnailed-verison of the picture. Atleast, that is what I understood from their FAQ:

Is hotlinking allowed?
Hot linking is embedding an image into a message board, personal webpage, or ebay auction. You can not hotlink your large version of the image, but you can hotlink your thumbnail and link it to the larger image.

As far as I can remeber, ImageShack allows it as long as we have a link back from the image to ImageShack.
