Hi guys.
At this site, as well as the old Free Realms Mayhem, and Legends of Mayhem sites, Photobucket has always been our recommended app for the storage of images as well as the sharing of images to various forums like Proboards that do not allow direct downloads from your PC or mobile device. Sadly, Photobucket has ended its no-cost sharing of images to forums and added it back in as a pay feature; a rather expensive pay feature at that. I have been looking for a no-cost or low-cost substitute for Photobucket ever since that policy change.
The big sites I looked at like Google Images allow free sharing, but they favor social media outlets such as Facebook, Reddit, and Twitter. Unless you are willing to jump through loopholes the less computer proficient would have issues with, sharing to forums was problematic. Other mainline sites like Imgur also allow free sharing but make note in their ToS that they are not intended to be used as a storage site for sharing of images to commercial sites and forums. If you share images on a rare or occasional basis you may be okay with using sites like Imgur, but if you frequently share, as I do, you may find yourself running afoul of their service agreement.
Although it took me a while, I have finally managed to locate a couple of apps that serve the needs of forum posters like myself. Of the two, I have tested one on this forum and have found it more than meets all of my needs, with no cost and few restrictions. It is very bare-bones, but if you are having issues posting with your current image app, I highly recommend it.
Take a look at Post Image and I think you will find it meets all of your image sharing needs for both social media AND forums.
I am open to other suggestions, but until I find a better, cost-free alternative, Post Images is my new go-to app for posting to forums, boards, and other forms of social media. Give it a shot. You will likely be underwhelmed, but I doubt you will be disappointed.
