Imgur.com seems to work well.

That's what I've been using.  I still haven't figure out all it's functions, but it's been working well enough for me the last several months.

So far it is the fastest way to get an image onto the interwebs.  I just open imgur.com,, with a Windows file browser open with my image, drag-drop the file onto the browser window and imgur.com automatically detects your drag-drop and will upload it instantly.  Hover over the top-right corner and a link should appear for the image. Sometimes you may need to add a .jpg at the end of the provided link for an individual image.  Sharing an Album sometimes gets confused with sharing an individual image.

I am getting into some detailed research learning about twincharging the LE5, what I see are a lot of missing photobucket images after photobucket stopped the free hosting.   Pretty scary, thousands of "words" vanished like dust (pictures worth of words), I'm not sure if imgur.com will eventually do this.  Hosting isn't free, someone has to pay for it somehow, maybe they'll do an ad-based upload system cross-fingers and not kill the old images.
