I'm getting seriously fed up with imageshack, but have forgotten the name of any other image host that you a)don't have to register to use (hate loging in and out) and b)allows you to enter a URL so I don't have to download the picture and then upload it again. So, spec me an image host!

It is, but it doesn't allow hosting via entering a URL.

Imageshack is fine for me :\

just right click save as then upload it.

I have one, not sure if you can upload via URL though.

I know, but it's a pain in the neck - I wouldn't be changing from imageshack except for its become sooo slowwwwwwwww recently

Imageshack has been dire for ages now. It takes about a minute just to start displaying the image and then about the same to finish downloading it.

I could have a go at working some code out for hosting straight from a URL if you like.

I will post up some form of working prototype if I get it running.

It seems that imageshack is down altogether now. I keep getting the "Firefox can't find the server" message.

This is crude, and I will work on it this evening, but it works:

I understand that at the moment it is pretty bad, but I will have it running a lot better in an hour or so.

The URL will be: "http://www.angus-higgins.com/misc/Upload/" + the filename.

Took me a while to work out that you needed to fill both boxes, but seems to work well - thanks!

I have updated it a little bit to ensure that only "*.jpg", "*.gif", and "*.png" are uploaded. I have also made sure that one can only upload a file with a particular name once, and thus not overwrite the other file.
