Is it possible to post images to flickr then use them on other sites by a link to the image? Photobucket are in the process of blocking all 2nd party links unless you pay vast amounts of money, trying to find an alternative which won't cost a fortune.

later - sorted! Thanks to dewline - the method isn't quite as easy as Photobucket was, but at least it can be done.
