There's some issues users should know about. Postimages.org claims they will keep the pictures online forever, which is a good thing (forum posts don't lose images) and bad thing (anybody having the link can access the image, no forum login required).
Also I think the pictures uploaded by this process are "anonymously uploaded" so deleting them is quite impossible if you loose browser history (and haven't bookmarked the upload page for each picture separately).

So take care to e.g. not show serial numbers or some personal information in the pictures.
I just edited out a photo of my car with its reg number showing from my first post in this topic. Can't get my head around if that's what you refer to.

No I didn't look at the pictures posted just went to Postimage website. It was a general remark, I'm grown somewhat sensitive to privacy matters (especially computer related) through work.

I can't remember without looking but can you not open a link in a new window with a right click on your mouse?

imgur.com is a piece of cake, and it's free.
