Can we please stop using www.screenshots.cc to post your screen shots please? I spend looonnggg luchtimes at work browsing the forums, checking out the screen shot and having porn pictures pop up on my work laptop isn't great at all and I imagine it is not acceptable to a lot of other people as well.
Here is an example of what I'm trying to avoid. DONT CLICK IF YOU DONT WANT PORN!!!!
There are plenty of image hosting sites that don't have pictures of naked girl.
You know, since you quoted my post... here's the reason I did use screenshot.cc:
They offer thumbnail images, which tinypic does not.
I see Phanx often commenting to not post huge effing screenshots, and since I play on a 1920x1200 res, it is a effing huge screenshot, which is now posted in all its glory on the forums just so people aren't exposed to screenshots.cc.
I personally find photobucket annoying, and while I do have a host that I can link remote images from... but seriously, how many people click on links to screenshots? Again, people being annoyed by posting non-thumbnailed images in forums.
Wasn't it screenshots.cc that didn't show the screenshot unless I enabled the site in Noscript? Imageshack and many others work well without enabling scripts.
The script thingy is more annoying then the "porn" (if you want to call it that). What about using direct links to the image? That would solve both problems and if the host doesn't allow this, use another.
TinyPic also offers a thumbnail, it's the small image you see after uploading. Or you could just use good old textlinks.
Imageshack's max BM to upload is somewhere around 1.5 MB. Way to low for me.
TinyPic resized from 1680 x 1050 to something like 1600 x 1000 which irritated me.
uploadhouse is quite good but the links are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO long ^^
Anyway screenshots.cc was easy to use, fast and the link wasnt to long.
Well I'm glad this has sparked a little debate as it is clearly an emotive subject. No body likes being told what to do least of all me so this is really just a call for people to show a little respect to others that might not want to have explicit images pop up unexpectedly on there screens, especially if they are browsing at work or school.
If I'm at home I'm not fussed a little mild porn even Marge Simpson getting rodgered senseless from behind is ok :) I wouldn't want my boss catching that thou.
And to folks that have posted saying "well don't click the link". Ok well I could and I am now being mroe careful to hover over links checking if they are screenshots.cc now but other people might not. Just I did on several occasions I just wanted to have look at the nice UI your running and bang girls tits on my screen.
Uploading Screenshots >1,5MB makes no sense for the screenshots used here
TinyPic resizing makes no difference for your screenshots used here
Long links dont matter shit and if you are so concerned about long links there is tinyurl.com ...

Some of my screenshots are over 3 MB.
Resizing makes some of the fonts, bars, whatever look stupid.
Long links indeed dont matter shit.
Just run your screenshots through GIMP/Irfanview etc beforehand, a 1600x1200 image only comes in at ~500KB at 99% quality in Irfanview, perfectly fine for Imageshack.

Posting 3MB screenshots is unnecessary. Convert them to PNG if you want lossless compression, or JPG if you can stand a little bit of quality loss. You can use InfranView or GIMP to accomplish this.
use any host you want to, but instead of linking the pictures html page, link the the picture itself. (rightlick picture on site and click "View Image". Use that link instead (works in firefox atleast))

Do that and problem = solved
Depends on the site - some don't allow direct linking and will show a broken image if it's not already in your browser cache (which is also bad because it may look to you like it works but not for anyone else).
I've never had any problems with tinypic. It does create thumbnails, and does allow direct image linking... although the html page it embeds images in is fairly minimal, so I usually just link to that so that their ads get displayed and they get the revenue to support their site.
I shouldn't have to check link targets from long-time posters in a screenshot thread before I click on them... just use a porn-free image host, or like I said in my post about this in the screenshot thread, mark your link as "possibly NSFW". All the arguments saying "install FF and an adblock plugin" are ridiculous -- nobody should have to install special software on their computer (if they are even able do so) to view your UI screenshot.
Fortunately Funky has laid down the law, and I'll be happy to assist him in removing porn links. :)

Not that porn adds bothers me (other then the fact they tend to have malware and stuff in em) but i use http://www.imageshack.us/ lots of nice options for linking and for thumbnails.
Aslo, theres no need to post full screen shots unless its "Show my UI", its easier to se errors and stuff if its beeen shopped down to the parts that matters.
just wanted to say that the replies about using this and that to avoid the advertisements is a pretty lame way to handle it. i'm glad you like the extensions and they serve you well, but that isn't truly offering a solution to the true problem: there is porn associated with the website. using extensions or special ways to avoid confrontation with this porn is a way around it, but it's only hiding the association, not eliminating it.

Also, cropping when possible helps.
