Some posters link to images on image hosting site possibly because the images are larger than the forum accommodates by way of attachments. Some of the popular image hosting sites are quite "noisy".

Any idea which is a clean image hosting site?

How about postimage.org/ (http://www.postimage.org/)

Here's a link to an Image I uploaded just now.

I was very happy with imagebin (http://imagebin.ca/) but today when I visited the site all I saw was a white page. I visited some of my recent threads where I had linked some images from imagebin, all of them have vanished.

Today I linked one image using this site. (http://tinypic.com/)

What do you mean by noisy? If you visit the Imgur (I think that's one of the popular image hosters you are referring to) homepage that might be 'noisy' but you can include the (miniature) image in the post just like the postimage.org exampel of AstroLama.

Anyone knows about any Firefox addon which makes image uploading faster and easier ?

For example this addon (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/pastebincom/) is for pastebin.

That's why I prefer using the forum's facility. Mostly, there's no need for large images unless it's one of those "look at my awesome desktop" threads which I avoid in any case.

Noisy was my poor attempt at being metaphorical.

Nice. Thanks for the link. :)

I was using tinypic but I hated the captcha and the ads during uploading.

I would argue the opposite, that the only way people can really and truly communicate real meaning is through metaphor!
I don't want to star an argument, so I'm just throwing this out there, then you can go read about it yourself and that's the last you'll hear from me. :)

I was going to respond to that post as well, but I thought that would decrease the signal-to-noise ratio (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=signal%20to%20noise%20ratio) ;)

Plus this is the cafe. Nothing but noise in here!
