I hope it's okay to post this here. Does anyone have a reliable and free image hosting site? I currently use Imgur but realised that if it goes the way of Photobucket, I don't have a reliable back up. I have signed up to Flickr but can't seem to figure out how to grab the images to use in my fics, etc

Are you trying to put the images in your stories on LJ or somewhere else? With Flikr, you need to use the embed code (not sure how the others worked) and paste it into the HTML tab. Feel free to PM me if this isn't what you meant and if I can, I'll help you figure it out.
Okay, and now that I'm sitting here goofing off, I see that if you use the media tool on LJ, you can add pics/video from Dropbox. Which would be an excellent free option, honestly.
Hope this helped somewhat. :)

And I have a dropbox but have never used it!

I'm not sure how this works with AO3 since I've never posted pics there, but I would think it should work the same way.
Scratch that - I think I figured it out. On AO3, click on the HTML and paste the embed code from Flikr. When you click back over to rich text, the photo will appear. YAY!
I love Dropbox - it's where I keep my writing since I can access it from anywhere. It's also great for backing up photos from your phone. LOL

Ever since the buy out several years ago, I don't know if newer accounts have that feature

For LJ and DW though, I just upload to my LJ scrapbook and copy the embed url to DW - can sometimes be a bit erratic, but generally I think it works OK. I feel like I've done this with AO3 too, but don't quote me on that as it was a while ago.

The images aren't showing up on AO3 or Dreamwidth because of Livejournal. Sometimes as long as the people looking at the images are logged into their Livejournal account then they can see them. But I've found this to be a hit and miss.
