ImageBot for Firefox - Today's Browser Tip

I use ImageShack a lot to host miscellaneous images that I
need online because it's quick and registration-free. I'm sure someone will feel the need to tell me how superior Other

images onto it. It also keeps a searchable list of images you've uploaded in the past for quick access and has a cool
template function that makes it easy to get HTML or forum codes (or any other format you want) for a single image or a
whole bunch. ImageBot seems to have a little trouble with really big images (and error messages can be frustratingly
vague), but uploading them a few at a time seems to help.

However, despite all those templates it has, it lacks a template that copies a simple, plain image tag. That's unfortunate.
