To complement the share your files thread/guide , here is a share your pics guide now.
To start off... many of you will say why you need any other image host other than imageshack? Well you don't need to if you are happy with it, but this thread will tell you that there are others around. They may be better, some may be worse and some almost same. Some have been around for some time, others are fly by night kind. In the end, my aim is to give you a guide from where you can choose what you want and suits you the best. if anything, you will come to know about atleast some new hosts you can try out. And i do not claim that i have listed every host out there also.(i have omitted most of the imageshack.us clones) There may be some still left which i request you guys to post on this thread. Those will be updated.
I will give the credits at the start for a change.
Almost all the top links are the ones i use myself and discovered myself. Rest are mostly the ones i found on many of the forums i found while browsing. And some others i found when some of my friends recommended them to me.
I am giving a compiled list below.
So lets start now
This is a beta guide. Will add ratings later for each of the below hosts
1) Imageshack
I don't think any intro is needed. THis is the seemingly best and most popular one out there right now.
Jpeg,jpg, png,gif bmp tif swf file supported.

ImageShack allows each image 100 megabytes of transfer per hour. If an image exceeds this amount, it will be rendered inaccessible.
Images are never deleted or atleast thats what is claimed.
