Default Tiny Picture website - Adware crap

After uploading some picture to the forum via "Tiny Picture", I'm getting all this adware and pop-up crap. Anyone recommend a better website?
Please no suggestions on what I need to do on my computer such as block POP-UP's etc.
I'm posting this for two reasons...if you use it...don't, and secondly looking for what is out there to upload pictures.

I have used Photobucket for a number of years, works great.

A lot of people seem to use photobucket. I just don't like the hassle of creating an account. I just loaded picture using the forum "Album"....but that's not so great either. Too bad they don't have a "insert picture" icon at the heading of each window that you type in. It would make life a lot easier.

Look for a paperclip icon, click it to insert a picture into your forum post. Seems to no longer be limited to paying members.

If you're referring to tinypic.com, I've used it for 7 years with no issues.

Appears like at least for now, Jeff is correct. I attached this directly from my computer with no hosting site.

Should be above the text entry area where you type.

65GG...yes that is the site I am referring to. I have used it for years also with no problems. Tonight in uploading pictures I got hammered with Adware popping up. I cleaned my machine and all is good now. But I'm not going there any more.

Jeff - This is what I see...

I see a superimposed "A", then a B - I, U, Font select an Insert Link, Insert Picture (but it's requiring a URL) and a caption.

I think your looking at the quick reply box. You have to click on the "Go Advanced" button. There you should see a lot more icons

You don't have to "go advanced". When you hit either "reply" or "new reply", it's the small icon right beside the smiley face. Doesn't look much like a paperclip at first glance. If you point your mouse over it, it will say "attachment"
