[identity profile] shanny-w.livejournal.com posting in [community profile] omonatheydid


I'm sure many of you Omonians have noticed broken images in posts for a little while. Well, it looks like a very popular host (imgur) no longer wants to allow images to be shared on LJ Omona. Also, LJ has recently not been the most reliable image host itself.

I've created this post for members to suggest reliable hosts. Please feel free to +1 already suggested hosts.


TOP SUGGESTIONS:
postimage.org
tumblr.com Registered account required.
TinyPic TinyPic images will replace over time if you don't use a registered account.

minus.com has been suggested, but apparently mobile users get redirected to their App.

Also google drive gives you 5GB free and works fine here

I feel like tinypic is the most reliable image host site for omona.

tinypic replaces your pics after a while with different ones tho

tinypic is good.
loong time ago i used to use photobucket and imageshack, idk if they're still okay. but then got bored and mostly used a mix of dropbox/tinypic and my own server.

Tumblr uploading to a private post and then copy-pasting seems to work for me, but that does require having an account.

I've always used Tinypic, as long as you don't delete your original images I think it works great!

imgbox.com
I think I may be the only person here who uses it so here's a gif to see if it shows for everyone.

Note: wouldn't advise going to the actual site on mobile though. It never gave me an issue before but now there are some pop ups.

Is this Imgur ban likely permanent?

Photobucket sucks (at least if you have an unpaid account like I do). I haven't used it in 1-2 years.

Tinypic takes too long for my liking - imgur was perfect. For now, I'm just uploading the pics into the comment box for Exochocolate, and then copy+paste the image url here.

Well, this sucks because I have about 1500 pictures and gifs on imgur. -_- But so far it still works for me. But it would be awful when imgur really ban LJ. (WHY?! o.O)

I don't suggest photobucket for reasons.

I don't think they ban LJ in general, only comms with really high traffic like ONTD and Omona.
From what I read in comments at ONTD, someone contacted imgur and they said we're blocked because of "breaching for their terms of service".
