Interesting thread, and timely. Since the 'Fire software upgrade, linked images hosted on Photobucket take forever to load - at least on the PCs I've used it on. I posted to a thread that Rick started shortly after the upgrade and Rick's response indicated that Photobucket's 'methods' were the issue. His suggestion was to choose a different image host, or use the attach image function in the Full Editor. (apparently, that info has not been widely spread.) Unfortunately, the attach image function limits file size to 99KB, which (in my case) requires the images be resized prior to attaching.
I've considered Google Photos and Flick (Yahoo's alternative) but really don't want all the 'visibility' either offer, or the constant email floods (Photobucket is about as bad). May have to look into IMGUR and/or tinypic.
