Imageshack sucks.  Imgur rocks.

It didn't when you could backdoor torrent downloads for free.

Edit: that was off topic. sorry.

Also, now none of the images load for me, and if I visit the link manually I get an error that says you aren't allowed to hotlink proxified images.

Is it working now?
It is now, via anonymouse, just a tad slow though.

Hmm how about --> http://imgair.net ?

P.s I run it Tongue its been running for the last 1.5 years, host about ~20k images, 4 servers behind it, should work Smiley
The problem is existing posted images and future user content, since you can't really tell everyone never to use imageshack again. Unless you run an imageshack proxy?

Hmm true moving old posted images would take a while to do unless there's someone can code up something, i'll be more than happy to work with them to get the images ported over to imgair..

Nah, I don't run an imageshack proxy, the images are stored on our server's (in USA, UK and Italy) Tongue

Why not use imgur instead?

Why not use dropbox and host images by HTTPS?
Not sure why you would bother, an imgur account is free for most users, and you can just make another one if you run out of space. Usually fast and nice organizational tools and stuff.

Well, imgur is nice n all, I like https as imgur does not offer this. Plus, using https images does not break the bitcointalk.org's security.
All that does is make the little "lock" go away, it doesn't make it in any way insecure.

Is it fixed now? Imageshack links are now automatically translated so they take you through a proxy.
Looks working fine now, checked on https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/asus-5850-and-diamond-5970-66337 and all images load for me.

Press Shift + Refresh if you're still viewing the frog image to force clear the browser's cache.

Thanks Theymos.
Also, now none of the images load for me, and if I visit the link manually I get an error that says you aren't allowed to hotlink proxified images.

Ditto. I was reading this thread yesterday wondering what the hell everyone was so happy about considering no imageshack images load.

It'd be cool if someone would set up a proxy that added a "Stop using Imageshack" watermark to the image.

Will that even work? Bitcointalk uses https:// for everything, and referrers are never passed when in secure mode like that.

True. It wouldn't work.

I didn't know people still used imageshack.
They are using imageshack. I see the frog image all over the forums as my IP isn't from the US/UK range.  Cry
