Does anyone have a recommendation for a free alternative I could use that mirrors Photobucket?

To head off all of the contrarians, no, I won't simply pay Photobucket's price, even if it's relatively low. Just don't want to do it.

I signed up for imgur and it's relatively easy to use (could have much better/easier-to-use posting links for webpages like Net54), but when I replaced images here, the scans came across way too huge, basically twice the size of my Photobucket images done the same way. Anyone have any suggestions??

Thanks!
I just take pics on my phone, upload them to my computer, and then download them on here. It's pretty easy.

My full page scans are way too large to upload that way. I use that method for other smaller things.

To be clear, I am looking for a website like Photobucket to use. A hosting site, I guess is the technical term. If anyone has a website recommendation, PLMK.

Spelling "Yastrzemski" correctly without needing to look it up since the 1980s.

Strange as it sounds, just use Facebook.

Post images to your page and tag them as only being for you.

Then open the image, copy the URL and viola.

I decided to do a quick tutorial here for people who don't want the extraneous text to show up with their scans.

Here's the scan that appears when you copy the default link info from flickr:

1954bowmandodgers by Elms Hughes, on Flickr



If you look at the bottom right you will see hot links (in blue) to the title of the scan and the user info. To get rid of that verbiage, eliminate all the coding to the left and right of the parenthetical img's, and it will appear like so:





(I have to spell it out specifically here so the pics do not show up again. The parts in red bold refer to actual keys on your keyboard.)

The original link is:
LEFT BRACKETurl=https://flic.kr/p/WAGer4]LEFT BRACKETimg]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4312/35835876001_87fabea72b_b.jpgLEFT BRACKET/img][/url]LEFT BRACKETurl=https://flic.kr/p/WAGer4]1954bowmandodgers[/url] by LEFT BRACKETurl=https://www.flickr.com/photos/152396242@N02/]Elms HughesLEFT BRACKET/url], on Flickr

The correct link, free of text, is now:
LEFT BRACKETimg]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4312/35835876001_87fabea72b_b.jpg[/imgRIGHT BRACKET

The info to the left of the img bracket and the info to the right of the /img bracket was deleted.

Wow! This got confusing real fast. Simply put, look for "img" and "/img" in your image coding when you post a picture. Leave the brackets that contain them and get rid of the text to the left of the former, and to the right of the latter. Hopefully that clears things up a little.
