I'm using shutterfly and it's not bad, but the photos are limited in size.

What are some of the other free photo hosting services?

Do these two free photo sites have bandwidth limits? Do the photos expire?
I have never had good luck with these "free" photo sites. It's best to see if your ISP has some photo space available and upload the photos there....

Or better yet - just find some cheap webspace and create /register your own website....

I use Shutterfly.
1. Free
2. nice things you can buy like calanders, mouse pads, etc.
3. you do not have to resize your pic before uploading them
4. they post quickly
5. CTT, OGR and Gauge forum like it. MJT does not like it's format

Thanks to Tom I've discovered Shutterfly, and I us it to:

1. Post pic's on this forum.

2. I will be ordering some of their cups, mouse pads, etc.

3. Very easy to use.

For convience sake of getting prints instead of printing my own I've been using Wal Mart (yes, I do dislike that store a lot) because it's only about 20 minutes from here and it's cheap and handy.

Yes, Shutterfly is used by lots of guys on lots of different sites. As Tom says, you have to view the enlarged picture and then get the properties. The larger size will post. No restriction on how many albums and how many pictures. Great prices too [if you ever order any].

To enlarge on what Tom says, MJT forum vomits Shutterfly. I tried numerous tricks but none worked.

Finally, an MJT member suggested http://www.2and2.net/index.php?i=upload

That site works beautifully and now I use it extensively. Works for EVERY forum.

Downside is it doesn't store the photos like Shutterfly. Or perhaps it does, just haven't found where they're stored?
