Suggestions for a free, easy to use imagehost?

I have no idea who's good. I want something where I can host a few things without worrying about getting a ton of spam in my inbox, without paying, and with as little hassle as possible.

photobucket is extremely popular, allows direct linking, a large amount of storage space, only bad thing is theres a limit to both the file size and dimension size of your images (i believe)

I've had to shop around for other hosting for my myspace background because I made it to the exact right size, but when I uploaded to photobucket it was extremely small... when I say shop I mean look.

For sig images, well, when I use 'em for other places, the bit of space my ISP provides is fine. Otherwise I'd probably look at Photobucket.

For upload-and-run, Imageshack (singles) or Imagevenue (thumbed multiples)...

If it's photos, Flickr?

Got a broadband connection, a router that allows for port forwarding, and an old, spare, reliable PC?

Host your own server! I've got a Windows 2000 Server box running IIS and FTP that I use for experimenting. (Hasn't been hacked yet!) Given the age of the compinents and the "reliability" of my Linksys router, I haven't moved all my image hosting to it yet, but it does offer an alternative solution.

He's running Windows Me, IIRC.

Never ran Me.

3.11 -> 98 -> XP

Might go for XP Media Center Edition if I get a new PC anytime soon.
