Posting Images

[kal]

Hi all,

just a quick question, is it just me or has postimages suddenly removed most images? as I can not see most images any longer, even the ones posted by Ghost yesyerday, or was it the day before? old age is catching me up to darn quick!

I have seen the same problem, and this seems to happen to PostImages frequently. It may be that they occasionally clear out their site, but they are also vulnerable to hacker attacks that remove images or (on rare occasions) substitute one image for another.

I post all my images here as attachments because they are hosted by FLM and not a third party. It takes much longer to do them one at a time, but they stay here.

After seeing this thread yesterday, I checked my account and the images I uploaded to postimages were still there and loaded fine. However today, my account is disabled. "You have been blocked due to a violation of our Terms of Use". Anyone else seeing this?

There are alternatives, or may be using one as a backup, some of those sites have been online for years.

https://vipr.im/
https://imgbb.com/
https://www.imagebam.com/
https://www.imagevenue.com/

Don't try to upload OT or sensitive content, on the other hand there are 1 day, 1 week and no expiry options.
Thank you very much Tiny for the alternatives.

I used imgbb.com yesterday as an alternative here: https://www.first-loves.com/forums/view ... 77#p114377

Already gone after one day! It was just a screenshot from IMDB. I think I really will use attachments in the future.

When I saw your post 90 minutes later I saw "image not found" so I have no idea what the image WAS.

I think Postimage is borked.

How to upload pictures from these links here?

[Night457]

It looks like imx and vipr require registration to use. Ibb, imagebam, & imagevenue can be used anonymously. Tiny Blondie might be able to say how long anonymous images last. At one of the sites I specifically chose it NOT to delete after a set time. I clicked the Upload option and then clicked through the folders on my computer until I came to my Pictures, then highlighted and uploaded several all at once. After uploading I copied the "BBCode" for the uploaded images and pasted them into my FLM post with no additional coding. Uploading multiple larger file images (PNGs) can take up to a few minutes, although I did all 3 sites at the same time so that might have slowed it down. It looks like even when choosing the largest size available for all of the sites, ibb comes out the largest.

In order for the same seven images: ibb | imagebam | imagevenue

I've used https://pixxxels.cc/ for hosting in the past, which was free - but imagine anything will stay longer without hint of nudity.
