@sandpatch - this should help
Imageshack & tinypic and a couple of others are probably in the same league as photobucket and similar sites.. which i think are not very attractive & the presentations are not great.
i guess for something really nice, we would probably have to get a paid site, but am sure there are a few good ones which are undiscovered
