THIS SUCKS! 
TinyPic is owned by Photobucketand your pictures are not safe!  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TinyPic quote:
TinyPic is a photo and video sharing service, owned and operated by Photobucket.com,
that allows users to upload, link and share, images and videos on the Internet.
The idea is similar to URL shortening in which each uploaded image is given a relatively short internet address. An account is not required to use TinyPic.
quote:
One of the main criticisms people have with TinyPic is that
uploaded images usually get deleted within a few days or weeks
resulting in any post or website that has used TinyPic to display a picture not found error message.
quote:
Once Tinypic decides the image has had enough time online or decides it has not had enough access to it would be deleted from his servers.
(Even if the image is accessed everyday by hundreds of readers on forums)
quote:
Additionally to the deletion of the images comes the liberation of the associated URL,
in this way the same URL can be linked to a new uploaded image,
so every image uploaded to Tinypic can be linked from old Internet articles
and forum posts accessible for thousands of people without the knowledge and control of the uploader.

Imageshack sounds like they let one only post pictures they actually own. So it is worthless for posting memes and pictures found on the INTERNET.
I do not need storage for my personal/owned pictures. I store them on my computer .
I need 3rd. party hosting so I can post here at LL and on my blogs. I need it for images I do not own so I can post.
The only personal images I need third party hosting for the most; are my Lexigram graphics.
So, no, doubt that imageshack can help.
I amm not paying anyone; ever; not after what Photofucket did.
I CANNOT TRUST ANY PICTURE HOSTING SERVICE FROM HEREON. PS.
Imagesafe's site is down.

This is an example of what pops up when I click on the link you gave for imagesafe.

Imagur will not do what I need either.
I do not need personal image storage. I need to be able to post pictures here at LL and on my blogs.
Sounds like postimages will not do what I need it to do so either.
Oh well.
This sucks.
Too tired at the moment to care.
Too many things going wrong in my offline life at this time.
Going to shut up for now.
Way too down and despondent today due to bad things adding up.
Thank you for trying to help.IP: Logged |

Yes, but it is still owned by Photobucket. 
Also in the faq is how they can replace any image when ever they want to for any reason; one being if not many hits. So one could post a picture and later see their posted picture has been replaced or deleted. IP: Logged |
