Screenshots: what are you guys using?

Now the boards are no longer accepting image files. How do you guys upload images so they display on the thread?

Thanks

Imgur.

I use imgur. No need to create an account or anything, just upload your pic, copy the direct link and use the "add image from url" function when making a forum post. The pics display just as they did before the change.

Flickr - doesn't compress the images much.

Imgur or my own server.

Savepic.org is not bad, also

My own server, but might try imgur in the future.

Both Dropbox and OneDrive should work I guess. Have posted dropbox links before. And afaik they don't compress your uploaded files, so can share all those ALT+F10 screenshots of awesome.

I take screenshots with the Steam overlay, upload the screenshots to Steam and use the link from there to post here in the forums.

Png's to imgur work just dandy ...

n.b. I used to do jpg's but I noticed they were suffering too much colour loss.

Imgur too here. The best thing about imgur is that you can select large/huge thumbnail and then copy the BBC code and paste it into the thread

Then you can go back to imgur select Original size and copy the Direct Link, come back to the forum highlight the original img, click the link option and paste in the Direct Link. Voilà you now have an image that doesn't need to be massive in the forums but you can click to get a full screen view.
