We've looked into it, the only downfall is that they rename the files.

I think Dropbox might ban hotlinking, otherwise they would be good as well.

Anyone know anything about them in terms of reliability?
I can do some hosting on the site, but the number of pictures can add up quickly. My guess though is that's the best option? Anyone offer some insight there?

I'm personally OK with imgur renaming everything. It also means WRconnected gets an imgur gallery account that can be browsed independently of the site and link back to it through social medias.

For the longest time, I used ImageShack for free, but recently, they changed my account to a "free" 30-day subscription and now I have to pay a minimum of $3.99 a month for a basic subscription. Does anyone have any suggestions for another decent image hosting site?

So Spokes how's it been going, with the on-site hosting of images?
I rather like being able to upload locally to the forum. Any chance we could get a plugin that auto-compresses images? My phone tends to take pictures that are 1.5mb, and has no resize function.

There is sort of built in hosting available. I believe anyone can attach an image to their post.
I'm not sure an auto-compress option is available, although if it were, that would be ideal.
I can add something that re-sizes the image to always fit on the page, but I dont think that's what you're looking for
