Soo...I am requesting some safe alternatives to imageshack. I don't want to support a site that continues to allow malicious ads on their sites. Please post links, so those of us who have been using imageshack can pick a better alternative. Thanks in advance!!!

http://www.photobucket.com never had a problem
http://www.putfile.com never had a problem either http://www.youtube.com not for images, but another option would be to find a host with alot of photo capacity and just make the site your images, you could make it pretty and whatnot, or you could just have like: +html+ +head+ +h1+ Images +/h1+ +/head++body+ +img src="photo.gif"+ +/body++/html+ that way the only way youd get spyware is if you made it, i think dont know if this is helpful, but thats what i use.

The site Photogiga that I mentioned in one of the threads you are referring to was tested by McAfee Site Advisor and they did not find any significant problems with it. And did I mention it is easy to use?

imagethrust is one I can recommend
http://www.imagethrust.com/terms_of_service as, as you say, CAN imageshack ever be trusted again? on another site someone posted a link VIA imageshack and I only JUST avoided an infection ... of interest, I now decline to open any links using imageshack ; I value my computer too much

Wow...its been a while since I've seen this thread.
 Unfortunately, I still use imageshack...because of bandwidth concerns. I'm the member of a few forums, and I have two blogs, and I'm worried that I'll get blacked out because I've exceeded my bandwidth. I know unlimited bandwidth is a lie, but will any of these sites offer the same/more bandwidth as Imageshack? If I can get that kind of guarantee, than I will switch in a heartbeat...I don't want to infect anybody who wants to look at my images!! FYI, I try to always imbed my images...that way, no one has to view the imageshack page and risk infection. -------------------- |

Yeah, me neither.
I've not had a problem with it. It doesn't hurt to have a few alternatives, though. --------------------  I know you think you understand what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant! |

well it does serve very annoying popups in the background and they are a potential risk for directing to rogue installs and the like. I chose photobucket ages ago and have never been unsatisfied about that choice.

Are their any known issues with imagevenue?
After uploading, if I don't close the browser and delete the file just uploaded practically straight-away, I am unable to use ctrl+alt+del. I get the message:- Logon process has failed to create the security options dialog A reboot solves the problem. I am not asking for help, just wondering if imagevenue is known to be problematic. -------------------- It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices.
