Just some advice: You don't need to upload to a "public" area/folder to store your images on imgur. I use imgur and keep everything private. It doesn't interfere with images you link on forums such as this, but it keeps all the low rent trash out of your space and out of your face. I also resize and/or crop in advance on my PC what I'm going to upload to imgur . I like 800width (keeping vertical proportional) to speed things up and that's plenty big enough for good resolution and detail on forums.
