I don't know how to upload images, can someone help me? The images I want to upload are the first 8 Flurry lemmings levels, they are in the .png format and I need to find a place for it somewhere with a nice-looking address so that I can get them up for my brand new topic: "Christmas lemmings level reviews".
Guess what. I've sorted it out. No need to worry. I've e-mailed Adam and we got the job done.

I've always used ImageShack (though the address isn't nice-looking at all). You could try Tinypic and Photobucket.

You know what? I did try Tinypic myself and the images were up, but the address for it looks rather messy. Unfortunately I did say earlier that I want an easy-to-understand address.

If you need some control over the URLs of your images, your best bet would probably be to find a web-hosting site, which should give you better control over the naming of the image files/URLs (since after all, your own web pages would need to contain such image URLs in an easily readable, maintainable form). Some sights might not allow direct external links to the images but you're bound to find other sites that do allow it.
I've been using Yahoo! Geocities, but sadly that's no longer an option since they've shut it down this summer (so no new sites), and in fact will be closing down all existing sites as well by end of October. It would've worked for your problem I think.

I really don't care about the cleanliness of image site URLs... there's really no reason to if all you're going to do is get the URL and post an image. I use ImageShack as well. I hear PhotoBucket is good, and I believe, minimac, you're older than 14, right? I'd have to check your profile, but I think you're about 17?

There is a very good reason when you intend to upload a set of images for, say, a levelset, or all levels of a particular rating (eg. say, all Hail levels from Xmas 94 Lemmings). It would be much more preferable in that case to have the links to each image to all have the same form, such as http://<blah>/Hail01.png, rather than ending up with a dozen randomly-generated links like http://<site>/we90v83m290x.png.

You're right. I hate randomly generated links for images, but in the lemmings file archive they do show those hard to memorise links.
Anyway, I'll keep this thread open for images other than levels.

I hope you're not memorizing them, each one contains an
