So, I always used photobucket for my photo hosting. But now they want to charge me for it. Does anyone know of another good photo host that’s easy to use for putting pics in posts? And yes I’ve tried our hosting, but I always run into issues with file size and stuff.

I use the Castboolit site for photos. You just gotta watch that you don't fill it up. It is also a bummer because I delete some of the old ones to make room for the new.
I use more sites for photos but mostly for videos. I use all the free stuff.
There is Dropbox. Amazon photos, and others. I don't like any of them but am forced to use them. I guess dropbox is my most go to one.
I usually max out the room they give you (usually 5 gb) then use a different service until that one is maxed.
Videos are easier. youtube and others let you put tons of videos on their sites. It has gotten to be easier to make videos than it is taking still photos now. If you want to do the video thing, I can help. It costs about $15 for a camera. Everything else is free. If you are comfortable using a phone for videos you can use that too.

I posted a similar question/comment a month ago. I still haven't made a decision yet. But there is a bit of info in this thread, that may help you?

I’ll have to look into imgur. Did download the amazon prime photo app since I’m a prime member. It seems to work ok, but I can’t seem to find a way to imbed photos in posts here like I could using photobucket. All I can seem to do is create a link to the pic. I’m only 42 but this computer stuff makes me feel ancient sometimes. Lol

Just my opinion, but I believe Imgur is the superior hosting site. I've used it for the last 5 years with no issues, and the UI is easy to understand.

IMGUR.com works great:
