uploading pictures

I use Flickr now. I used to use photobucket previous to that but it rapes the quality.

Flickr FTW.
 
One of the easiest methods if you're not interested in publicly displaying your photos in the style of flickr is to use dropbox http://www.dropbox.com, as you can dump photos within a public folder (it does all the syncing/uploading for you) and then you can link direct to the image without ANY degradation in quality.

If you want I can refer you and i think it gives us both some extra space (you get 2gig anyway!)
 
I used to use Photobucket but after using a SLR and seeing how much Photobucket kills photo quality I now use Flickr
