Kalahari Hunting SafarisHi,
I have two suggestions one works but is a little tricky and the other you'll need to test out yourself.
1) Google Picasa
Picasa is also a free image hosting site. I don't use it myself so not sure how easy (or not) it is. I'd think it's worth a try as Google's stuff usually is good & easy. A quick glance says it gives you 1 gigabyte of free space to host pictures. I know there is a Picasa application you can download - not sure if that's optional or mandatory.
2) Facebook. If you already have a Facebook (FB) account and have albums on there, you can use those. It's a little tricky, but I tried just now and it works. I'll explain briefly:
-Go on FB and view the picture you want to post. You'll notice a link at the bottom saying that you can use it to share the picture with anyone - DON'T use that. The link is for a whole web page, not just the image so it won't work.
-Right click on the picture and click Properties (Internet Explorer) or View Image Info (Mozilla Firefox), not sure how to go about if you're using Chrome or Safari browsers but shouldn't be too much different. Copy the address URL (Internet Explorer) or Location (Mozilla Firefox) - it should start with "http://" and end with ".jpg", ".gif", ".png". If not, you need to make sure you right clicked on the picture.
-Paste this address/location you copied in the Image URL field of a reply or post in AR.
Hope that might help, not too sure I'm all that good at explaining things properly!

Picture Trail. It has worked for me for several years. It is fee based upon the size of storage you use.
