Image hosting sites

which image hosting sites do you use the most?

Which would you say has the best folders/gallery options? (And is also reliable).

Does imageshack support gallerys/folders?

my isp (Virgin), I've never bothered signing up to any image hosting site as from what I can tell when I load up a page with images from any of the above sites they're miles slower to load than most isp's.

Do most isp's not offer much space these days as I get 55mb and feel thats enough for me although I did host some images on my google webspace a few times and that works quite well and loads pretty quick even if using the correct img url isn't always as easy as imagesites tend to make it

I have my own hosting with TSOHOST, but I am yet to find an image uploading script which does what I need.

I tried photobucket. Seems ok for what I want, but it doesn't return the BB code for posting thumbnails. Am I just being blind, or does it really not have this feature?

I'm amazed that there doesn't seem to be anything that suits my needs.

All I'm after is something like imageshack, which supports gallerys/albums for organising your pictures, and generates thumbnail code for posting the pics in blog entries.

Sounds simple enough to me, yet there is nothing that has both of those things. Not even in scripts I could run from my hosting. Closest thing is celerondude's uploader script, but I really don't like that at all.

Seek, Zenphoto could probably do what you want with a small bit of tweaking to the template to create the forum code for you to copy / paste.

Thanks, I may gave that a try. Although I'll have to make a request in HG+P because I don't know php.

I feel like I never said this.

But I did.

Well I guess you feel like that because you don't read posts.

I already said I'm looking for something which returns thumbnail code for posting images on my blog.

photobucket.com does that.

No it doesn't. It has decent enough gallery/folder options, but it doesn't give thumbnail codes.

I've just tried it out and added a forum code box to my Zenphoto install, it was fairly straight forward so if you need a hand with it, my email is in my trust.

Thanks, but I had to ditch zenphoto as an option because of the way it handles thumbnails. It's thumbs are not small versions of the whole picture, but cropped versions. Your picture "_MG_0372" featuring a boy in the snow is a prime example of why it wouldn't work for me (in the thumbnail view he has his head chopped off).

A shame, because it would otherwise be an ideal solution.
