I've been using Imgur to post pictures on Bimmerpost and other forums. It's free and easy to use. However, I have not tried any other service.

So what's the advantage of a hosting (hosing?) service rather than just uploading the pics directly to the forum?

Often times you're constrained by image size using original photos and resizing on mobile device isn't as easy. Also using hosting site will allow you to embed photos inside your post (think DIY guide) vs having everything clustered together at bottom of your post.

FWIW, you can also embed images uploaded to Zpost.
after upload just use the attach icon (paperclip)

Yep. ^WHS. Great pic, by the way.
My only web-enabled "mobile" device is my 17" laptop, so not sure how hard it is to get at the paper clip from a phone or tablet.

Me too...
Flickr just pulled the plug on my old account, pics are still up though (unlike PB)

This way pics will always be here if other hosts decide to follow PB.
