IMGBB broke on this forum, can't post using their links anymore. I mean it worked fine previously even as a guest.

Try pictr.com, quality's better. No need to register as well

There is problem for imgbb as discussed but some images are visible and some are not so don't know when it will be completely resolved till then we need to find some more alternatives.

But talking about pictr.com then it's not letting us to upload the images without registering the account as shown in the these two images :

First one is from imgbb to check whether it's working or not :

Second one from postingimages.org which was suggested in this thread only and quite good over TOR also :

So at the time imgbb is also working fine at my end and there's no problem for it but can't say this has been fully resolved or not.

But why? In my experience, imgbb always worked properly without requiring an account.

I am long time imgbb user and have never made an account and it's completely fine but there is problem a their end from few days so it might resolve soon.

You do not need to. Even after uploading the file mouse hover on the image > right click > click on Copy Image Address. The URL of the address will be copied in our clipboard. Put the URL in between the "img" ([img]) tag. 😉

That's the ease of imgbb that you can directly copy the address and clipboard usage makes it more comfortable for users.

It keep asking me for login as soon as i hit the upload button. Weird Angry

I tried to use VPN too to change the country but still the result is same. I wonder why it allows you to upload without login Huh

Beats me.

I discovered Pictr shortly after Imgbb stopped working on this forum and they supported anonymous uploads right off the bat

This is not true.
You can't upload anything on that pictr website without registering account, it just redirecting to login page without it.

Wait, what? I have been doing so without an account. Perhaps it could be restricted to certain countries?

There are many alternatives for image uploading but I would use one that has higher chances of surviving future years.

So which image uploading sites will you recommended that will survive for decades and centuries Cheesy

So much complications for a simple image upload...
Why not just use alternative imgur or postimages, so you don't have to put anything in between Wink

As far as I can tell from your example, "BBCode full linked" and "Direct link" are exactly the same except that the full linked option includes the [*url] tag on the image.

Actually, you are right. I didn't pay close attention to the links.
It works without an account, but not with the viewer links the image host gives you by default. You get the direct link if you register or if you remove the url tags from the BBCode full link.

And like BitcoinGirl.Club mentioned, even if you right-click on a Viewer link, like this one https://ibb.co/pxMr66S and select "copy image address," you will get the correct image link that can be posted on the forum.

Case closed finally.

Added "code" to explain better.
This is not image link but the web page link of the image.

Code:

[img]https://i.ibb.co/wRPrZZf/imgbb.jpg[/img]

This is an image link. Notice the file extension (.jpg) at the end of the URL. You can also call this "link for the image file".

To conclude, seems like the image host works just fine, but you need to create an account and select Direct links. Viewer links don't work though.

Doesn't work (invalid proxy image):

The link is working valid:

Testing by removing the "code" tag. I will update the post with result 😂
Technical: For browser I am using Firefox with tor connection.
Preview works fine for both with and without image URL link

Update: Like I was expecting image with url tag and without url tag works fine 😂

Another simple solution, if I previously posted the image link without referencing the hosting site then the image is not hosted. This means that the image will be valid if I use the full url (BBcode Full Linked) even without creating an account. The image in my previous post has been displayed.

I wanted to try it out myself, so here goes. This is uploaded without registering to the site.

Viewer links:

BBCode full linked:

BBCode thumbnail linked:

After that, I registered an account and it gives me further link customization options. I can select direct links, for example, something that wasn't there before I registered.

Direct link:

Looks like ~~imgBB is working again now~~ (Unfortunately still not, but I saw it when I hit the preview of this post). I'm trying to upload the same image for two different formats (jpg & png) and as you can see, both images seem not to be well hosted.

Maybe it's time to say goodbye to imgBB.

I think the problem with imgBB not working on forum is not just this time, but I've had it a few times. However for this period the problem is not resolved any faster and as we know, it looks like it will take a few days. For all the image hosting sites I use (imgBB, Imgur and postimage) it looks like they will collect some user data even without a login. Here is some data collected by the imgBB site without login.

They are tracking you with IP address tracing while you upload the images and for imgbb also this is privacy statement for them so using them over TOR is fine with the postingimages.org as it's working fine at this time.

On the internet don't trust anyone. I mean all the site set cookies to collect customer information and they make money out of it, they improve user experience from it. When you are in clear net checking up your email, you are giving them away your information. Even when you are browsing a site without entering anything, by just loading it you are giving them information. It's hard to avoid. That's where TOR helps. But since not everyone wants to be TOR friendly it's hard to use it for most of the service we use. So you make a choice. It's a choice like being with android or iOS. Some apps are not available in both platform so you sacrifice when it's not available for you or you have both.

I use clear net for many service but when it's cryptocurrency, I always like to break connections the possible way I can.

I don't know if imgBB will get back to normal and get back to working for hosting images I've posted. Of course it has been an obstacle for me as there are many graphic images I can't appear so far. I don't want to edit it as quickly as possible and prefer to wait a while as some images are still valid while most are not.

What happened exactly?

Don't know what happened exactly with imgbb and recently uploaded the image and it's showing on the forum but don't know if the problem is resolved and the past images will be still visible now.I also can't make changes to the images now and wanted that site have a solution to this problem fast and images are visible.

Quote from: Pmalek on June 25, 2022, 05:49:14 AM

You can upload images without an account, but Imgur won't allow you to resize them or perform other changes that are available only to registered users. You can also not delete an image you uploaded if you aren't registered. I don't see any ads, but I am using ad-blockers. The site is ad-free on my end.

You can upload the images without account on imgur but there are many other restrictions on it and have found it quite complicated but whereas imgbb is quite easy to upload the image and just copy the BBcode to the forum and it's down now.

Quote from: BitcoinGirl.Club on June 23, 2022, 02:21:05 PM

I have no idea how many times I had to compromise my privacy with imgur all the past days. It does not work well with TOR. Many of us use the forum in TOR but use clear net to host image. Eventually you are giving away your location and other info to the image hosting site. The forum does not know your location but imgur does.

I can't stand imgur. You can't upload photos without an account, and the adds are as obnoxious nails on a chalkboard.

However, with VPN that I use sometimes, it does not allow to upload image.

I have noticed that as well. That's a new thing. Up until a few months ago, they didn't mind VPN usage. But it probably also depends on the type of VPN. The more exclusive and expensive ones might work, while free VPN software could be blocked because of misuse.

I don't think so the size could be issue as the last image that i tried to upload on the site was having the following size and resolution

Size is actually an issue. Every server has limited resources or at least the website setting has a size limit to save space and avoid abuse. I don't know what size limit we have in the forum but there must be a number x. When an image exit the size it will not load at all.

The ImgBB image isn't showing up for me at this time, and seems like it's hit and miss. If I refresh the page it'll show up half the time and the other half I get the proxy error. I just used PostImage for the first time, I really like that site. If you have an image in your clip-board you can just call up the site and hit CTL+V and it'll paste and upload in one fell swoop. That's one of the features I liked about ImgBB as well.

Same problem on my end also like yesterday the images were visible to me so I thought the problem is now gone but my recent post also have the same invalid proxy from the imgbb site although if you click on the link it's visible on imgbb but not on the forum.So i think we all are facing the same problem and it's not cache related issue.

Quote from: DireWolfM14 on June 21, 2022, 11:33:02 AM

Well, now it looks like I have two decent sites to use for hosting images. I do hope ImgBB get their ducks in a row soon, I've posted tons of images here that are hosted by them.

All my images on the forum were hosted through imgbb from long and have never encountered this issue before but now using the other site postingimages.org for the same and have different options as well like image resizing and different links for the image.So getting used to it and hope problem for imgbb over soon.

Quote from: BitcoinGirl.Club on June 22, 2022, 11:27:48 AM

You are right. It's the problem with ImgBB. I do not use it but I use imgur all the time. The size of a file also is an issue for not displaying an image properly.

I don't think so the size could be issue as the last image that i tried to upload on the site was having the following size and resolution

Code:

 Resolution: 648x1188
Size : 80.75KB

So I don't think so that size issue is prevailing but some big problem at the end of imgbb while images hosted on other sites like imgur are showing without any delay and all the time on the forum.

Quote from: BitcoinGirl.Club on June 22, 2022, 11:27:48 AM

For me Postimage is better than Imgur. The best thing about Postimage, you can use it on TOR browser, that's the biggest advantage for me. Anway, this topic was useful to find a good solution for image hosting for me.

Having access over TOR is great advantage for all of us who are using it and have posted my first image through it and it went without any problem so i also have one decent alternative on my end.
