I think I have located an image hosting site that doesn't require creating an account; you just go straight to upload.

It is here: Free Image Hosting

Will that work?

There will be some potential problems for some users.

You can't use them for your content delivery network.

If a site is popular and an image receives a lot of hits, they will remove it for excessive bandwidth use.

also try this in GLOBAL HEADER
<script async src="//imgzb.com/sdk/pup.js" data-url="https://imgzb.com/upload"></script>
I think no membership is required.....

Thanks ?adwoman? , but I am unclear what that will do for us.  Is imgzb.com an image hosting site?

Hm... Well, I tried it and it did add a button labeled Upload Images and launch the imgZB uploader when I clicked it, but they are not imbedded in my post, so I am unclear how to accomplish that last step.

EDIT: here is their Documentation

It looks like it could be made to work, but it is over my head.

It's close to useless. It doesn't generate BBCode for you, and doesn't enter it in posts for you.  If you are fine with doing both yourself, then you'll just have to explain to your users how to do that.

I am not sure about it being useless.  If you look at the documentation there are references to auto-insert and BBCode.

I just don't understand what I am looking at well enough to say if it is useless or not.

I added this plugin with vgy.me, as well as documentation for my users to get user keys and such, and so far it seems to be working. Though, for some reason on my Quick Reply the icon just spins forever, but on a normal reply it works fantastic.

Kinda strange...

I've seen that happen in quick reply when the images were really large.  Can you try it again in quick reply using a small image?

Ah yeah, that seems to be the issue. I'll instruct my users to use the Full Reply option with larger images in their posts...
