My opinion of free image hosting services is that you get what you pay for, and after that you get the high hard one. If you have pics that you want online for the long haul... for the little bit it costs to use a pay service... well worth it...
I don't really know if PhotoBucket has improved, but I always had a PhotoBucket Pro pay account and the last two years of fooling with their changes Photobucket sucked...finally threw in the towel. Very clunky, dropped their great "image edit for dummies" feature, no real tech support. If it's improved that's good to hear. As far as PostImage being free...all I use it for is to create a URL for an image. I don't store images there. So what do I have to lose? I don't use PostImage because it's free, I use it because it is so easy, quick, and simple to use. But whatever people want to use is great.
