Besides Photobucket, what's a good one that will work here? I exceeded my bandwidth at PB. Not entirely sure what that means.

Not entirely sure what that means. exceeding your bandwidth (if I understand it correctly) merely means that your images are being viewed a LOT (i.e. you've got the same image posted up on a bunch of forums, or a bunch of times) You've got a certain allottment of bandwidth per month, so whenever your month renews (as I'm not sure if it's by calendar month) you should be okay. Another option is (if you've got a Yahoo mail or a gmail account) simply sign up for another email account, and start a second Photobucket account from that email account.

Image shack is the only promising one, but I have to install a certain tool bar and I don't want to on government computer. Maybe I'll just create a new account on PB.

Maybe I'll just create a new account on PB. If you decide to go that route, and you've got a Yahoo mail account, you're allowed (with your standard free Yahoo account) to create one additional email address under your main screenname (so you don't have to remember two logins/two passwords... ). Just create your 2nd PB under that email address.. makes life much simpler. :lol:

or you can erase some of your old pics that are posted on here. that will free up some of the bandwidth.

To upload pic all i need to do is click "upload" button on my toolbar, select the file, and a tab comes up in firefox with about 8 different ways i can copy the URL. and its saved in my picture file, so i can access it in seconds from anywhere, how does it get easier than that?

Photobucket isn't any more difficult than that, and you can also upload a whole slew of pics all at once if you want (not to mention video... last I checked -- though they might have changed -- IS didn't offer that). I can see where if you just wanted to toss up a funny pic to use one time in a thread, and just needed it up there really quick, then IS would be ok... but if you're wanting to store pics, post them multiple times, multiple places, etc... then PB is far and away the better choice. :dthumb:
