I'm fairly certain someone is hotlinking some of my images from my Photobucket account. STOP IT. SERIOUSLY.  I'm so frustrated right now, I want to post some stuff but my bandwidth has almost been completely eaten up. Any recs for other photo-hosting sites that are easier to use/won't give me grief/aren't obsessed with deleting *naughty* photos & gifs?

You could put your Photobucket account on private/lock it, but that's only a so-so option. Photobucket is a bit stressful for my computer so I looked for an alternate site and found http://mynetimages.com. You can set your albums so no one but you can see/has access to them. I've been using it for close to a year now and have yet to have any trouble with it. Though, my only compliant is that you can't upload really large images to it (I think 2,000+ kb), but if you lock your Photobucket, you can just upload bigger images there.

Also, it doesn't allow naughty images, but I've uploaded a questionable photo or two and it's still there, so I think you would be safe. Else, you can upload your naughty images to LJ directly and put the album on private. I've seen a quite a few people do that.

Oh, I always thought if I did that, the photos wouldn't be available to see if I posted them elsewhere? Lol I'm such a noob, I have no idea how all that works.

Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely look into it. I'm just so frustrated. 9.5GB of bandwidth used up in a couple of weeks. I usually don't go over 5Gb. Ugh.

No, they'll be viewable if you directly link to a photo or post the pic somewhere (like your LJ for instance) even if you have everything on private. ^_^

Yeah, that would suck. I've always avoided bandwidth issues by putting my stuff on private.

Oh that's excellent! Thanks so much for letting me know, I'll definitely put everything to private now :)
