Well, in my year and a half of being with tip it, i have yet to post a pic. I have had quite a bit of trouble with image shack, and now recieving a piece of spyware called "elite bar" everytime i go. So what other sites do people use, and i went to photobucket and it seemed ok and very good, is it reliable and safe is what i'm wondering really. Thanks.

Yeah, Photobucket seems to work the best for me as well. That's what I've always used. You can pretty much use it for anything (avatars, signatures, or just picture posts in general).
