I use
ImageShack a lot to host miscellaneous images that I
need online because it's quick and registration-free. I'm sure someone will feel the need to tell me how superior Other
Image Hosting Service is, but that's not the point of this post. The point of this post is
ImageBot, a super-handy
extension for Firefox that lets you batch upload images
to ImageShack or similar (but not registration-free)
service
Photobucket. It's pretty slick and is easy to use--just drag-and-drop
images onto it. It also keeps a searchable list of images you've uploaded in the past for quick access and has a cool
template function that makes it easy to get HTML or forum codes (or any other format you want) for a single image or a
whole bunch. ImageBot seems to have a little trouble with really big images (and error messages can be frustratingly
vague), but uploading them a few at a time seems to help.

I've been using this extension for a while. The features are great, and it makes it much easier to both upload pictures without downloading them and quickly uploading the ones that are already on my hard drive. However, despite all those templates it has, it lacks a template that copies a simple, plain image tag. That's unfortunate.
