The OneDrive team tells me that due to new security measures I am no longer able to post direct links to my pics (even though older direct links still work). I can only post url links. Many other sites are doing the same, so I am still looking for a good hosting site that allows posting direct links.

I too have posted about this before and vote the need for change!

Hi. I have been using Imgur for posting images lately (I do actually not know how much space I have there), and it allows me to post images. 
All the best.

I also use Imgur for posting images, and even my old Opera 12 browser shows them correctly.
(often enough not the case with images from other hosting sites but of course I don't blame them for not being "compatible" with an old outdated browser... ).
 
Best,
Klaus

So I tried signing up with imgur but am having no luck getting it to work.

Damn! It should be easy, shouldn't it?
Can't help you with the log in problem unfortunately (maybe their servers were inded overloaded),
but I too didn't receive a confirmation email first.
When I logged in the next day there was a button like "Send Account Verification Email" or something similar,
and after doing so, the confirmation email was in my inbox a few seconds later.
 
I hope you'll get it sorted! 
 
Best,
Klaus

Finally went with Photobucket. Hopefully it will work.

Turns out imgur didn't like my IE browser. It does work with Chrome but since I already have Photobucket working in IE it wins.

+1

Along with this I would like to see better use of the space above the Audio interface outs.
Like perhaps a phase or correlation meter's, longer mains or other metering choice, K weighting, true dBFS etc.
