What would be a good easy to use Image posting Site, mostly for
screenshots for the Newsgroups?

Take your pick.

Yeah, I did that too but it didn't really answer my question.

I use this one, but if you go over 1024x768, they reduce
the resolution of your picture, ruining it.

Some of them, require setting up an account.

Whereas the one I use, requires no account.

I try to use GIF format for non-art type pictures,
to reduce waste bytes. If you want to post a picture
of Mona Lisa, that's probably best in JPG or PNG.

These sites don't last forever.

Imageshack, threw away all my pictures. They are a Facebook
monkey now. You sign into the site with your Facebook account,
to use the site.

Photobucket, decided to use a pay model for bandwidth. All the
user photos were replaced with a dialog suggesting the usage
of a paid account for continued service.

Tinypic, was borderline adware at one point, and I only
visit there now using a Linux VM. So if someone posts a
Tinypic, I don't use Windows for those.

That's the nice thing about web/cloud - nothing lasts
forever.
