This is where you can post an imagehost for us to consider within Rule 5.
We'll take a look and if it is acceptable we may allow it.
1. It must be stable with limited or no bandwidth restrictions.
2. It CANNOT have popups or any hint of spyware/adware.
3. It CANNOT be used for monetary gain or viewership gain (such as imagecash or your own startup imagehost)
4. It must be freely usable with no registration required to view pics.
5. Thumbnails should link directly to its full size version or the html page containing it. No additional redirecting.
6. And it must be somewhat popularly used in other sites/forums.

Recommended Video hosts vary but include
www.filehd.com
www.megaupload.com
www.savefile.com

I have seen mediaupload being used in some places, seems to work reasonably well.

mediauplaod seems fine.

Why is megaupload banned, aside from slow downloads it is good to have a host that keeps a video for a month. A video posted here on one of the others will vanish in three minutes courtesy of the unwashed and unregistered.

I have an account at Photobucket.com, which is free and as far as I know does not do popups or the like. I use this for my avatar and, with permission, any pics I'd submit. Is this OK?

Can someone please tell me why I can't download paintedover pics...all I see is the tumb and nothing happens when I click on it...

I used to be a fan of Mediaupload but not anymore. They've been having lots of problems over the past couple of months. I wouldn't recommend them until they improve.

Photobucket is a good option to be added. I was actually surprised not to see it on the list.
