I remember having problems with them in the past… I hope they’re better now.

Any other sites?

[www.inkfrog.com](http://www.inkfrog.com) is good - only space for six free images, but no resizing, tagging, breaking-of-animated-gifs, or other annoying jiggery-pokery.

[Sure does](http://free.inkfrog.com/pix/larrymudd/disco.gif).

I was just looking at their front page, though, and I’ll be damned if I can find the “free” signup again… I hope it’s still available.

I use [Snapfish](http://www.snapfish.com) or [ESmartWeb](http://www.esmartweb.com). Both allow remote linking, and lots of space.
