We are trying to find a solution for hosting high resolution images and wanted to ask your opinion. We have a premium account at PhotoBucket, which is the best ad-free photo host, but PhotoBucket does not automatically resize images to fit your screen. This is not an issue for Firefox users, but most of you are on Internet Explorer and probably prefer that images are resized.

We have been using ImageShack, and it seemed like a great host because it automatically creates thumbnails with image dimensions and the ads are relatively tame. I just noticed that ImageShack launches pop-up windows, though, which are incredibly annoying. (I only noticed this when I moved to a computer that didn’t have an Internet security program and would not have used this image host if I was aware of it. That other computer could also be infected with spyware which might be causing the problem.)

ImageVenue is another solution, but the ads there are pretty racy, which could create a problem for people surfing at work or school. (So could most of the posts on this site, but that’s another issue.)

Would you please compare the photos on the following posts and let us know what you prefer?
