I use this site:
gifyu.com/
Here is a thread on another site that lists photo sharing sites. Pastor Rick edits the posts there. He's on staff there with Lesa/Lesigner Girl.
bakheva.runboard.com/t8738
Runboard has blocked their links to lurkers, so here is that list of sites that they allow, minus Pastor Ricks commentary:
abload.de/
www.mediafire.com/
cubeupload.com/
... ... ...
www.ephotobay.com/
gifyu.com/
There are other sites, but they tend to have ads/links that break the TOS on both this forum system and Runboard's board system. If you use those sites, and members get popup ads that are not appropriate for children, or the image you shared gets hijacked by inappropriate images, those sites will be blocked, and you will be asked to upload your images to a safe site. Pastor Rick has these inappropriate sites listed in the second post, but I'm not going to share them here, since like Runboard, they can't be used here either, so why bother linking to them.
FYI: I'm not crazy about the site I use. This is because it doesn't work like Photobucket does. It doesn't put your username, album title, and image/video title in the URL to make it a one of a kind unique to you link. So, if someone else has already uploaded an image/video with the title, 'snowball-fight' at gifyu, you will either have to change the title of your image/video, or add numbers to it, or the site will add numbers to it. You can have albums to keep your images/videos separate and easy for you to find, but those album titles will not be used in the URL.
For example, I had to get creative for the images at Whoosh's Runboard board:
I used gifyu.com at WhooshRunboard and for the 'clap' smiley I couldn't title the image as clap.gif ... I had to title it as clap_hands_together.gif ... and if someone else comes up with that title, they'll have to make changes to it before it will upload. I haven't deleted any of the PB accounts/albums/images ... you never know when they might decide to revert back to their old ways.
I started out using tinypic.com, but they do gibberish.gif (and are now no more) ... no image/video titles ... and I hated that. Proboards images use gibberish as titles, but at least they're on Proboards' system, so they should be good for as long as the forums are around. Unless an upgrade screws it all up ... and then I am totally, and completely done. I'll just close the forum and leave it as is as an archive.
Whoosh now has a Facebook group, and Kym is also a member/Admin there ... so join there if you'd rather:
www.facebook.com/groups/Whoosh.org/
Me, I really really prefer message boards. I hate social media sites ... but what can ya do when the boards are dying out?
