[HOW TO]: Post images that never disappear on CG
There are other ways to do this of course, but this I've found is fastest. You do not need to register, or sign in, or anything to use imgur.
1. Upload your picture to www.imgur.com (pro-tip: you can paste any image, or drag files directly onto the imgur home page) Hope this helps!

What if your images appear HUGE?
This happens because imgur preserves the native resolution of your files. Modern cameras take very high resolution pictures, but you can resize them easily:
OR, here's another secret way to do the same thing. Fast & easy: When you copy imgur links into Calguns, you should see something like this: Just add a lowercase L (l) to the filename before the dot-extension (.jpg in this case):[img]http://i.imgur.com/efUfeBHl.jpg[/img] In this case the original image wasn't really too huge, but you get the point.Happy posting!

This is a how-to post, stickied for Calgunners to find easily.
If you want to discuss hosting elsewhere please make a different thread about it. I wrote this guide because I'm tired of broken images and clicking attachments on CG. I am not affiliated with Imgur, it's just a useful tool I've used for years without issue. To clear things up for CGers who might be concerned: 1. Stuff not to do doesn't relate to forum use of Imgur:

Zenfolio is a paid service, not really an equitable comparison.
Flickr certainly does require a transferable license. It is owned by Yahoo. Find their ToS here. Quote:
