I can upload images on Imgur without an account, but it is a pain sometimes since it does not let me access so easily and even when I can, it sends back an error message when I try to upload anything. I assume it is because my global location or IP address.
So I shall give a chance to those alternatives you all have share on this thread, thank you.

Nice, thanks for that. I'll check it out. Still not a fan of imgur, however.
If you're still looking for a new image host, I also recommend that you check vgy.me[1]. One can easily integrate their services with ShareX[2] and I like their Privacy Page statement[3]:

Okay, it sounds like others have been noticing the same thing, it's not just me or the image-hosting site I'm using. I knew it wasn't my internet, because I'm getting the same issues at home and at work. If nothing else, I hope this notifies theymos that there may be an issue with the forum.

I mostly use Imgur and I have an account there for uploading photos. I have experienced the bitcointalk proxy when uploading big resolution images and sometimes it just doesn't work. What I do is either put/select different sizes of the images. Like I put h,l m, etc. at the end of each photo link.
Original code
With letters (sizes)
Images too big
When size is changed
I hope this helps somehow. And thank you for sharing the new upload place BITCOIN4X.

Is anyone else having trouble loading images the past few weeks?
True, I had the same problem for the last few weeks because I couldn't use imgbb to host the images I posted on this forum. But imgur seems to be a good choice as an alternative to hosting your images here, this site has no ads and I'm using this now.I can't stand imgur. You can't upload photos without an account, and the adds are as obnoxious nails on a chalkboard.
Charles-tim and BITCOIN4X said, you don't need an account to use it. Same thing for me right now.but this one is also worth a try. https://postimages.org/
Thanks for another alternative, that would be the image hosting site I would use next if imgbb and imgur really don't work. 
but this one is also worth a try. https://postimages.org/
The site was not known to me until now. It works even with tor which is awesome for me. Pretty fast and clean. Just to have a test of it here is my avatar on the hosting site.
Bye bye imgur 😉
Nope, no issues lately whatsoever, and I upload images on the regular basis.
Although I mostly use imgbb or imgur, but this one is also worth a try. https://postimages.org/
I am using postimages almost exclusively and I can also recommend it. Its pretty basic but that's one of the reasons i prefer it over imgur and other more popular image hosting sites. 
I can't stand imgur. You can't upload photos without an account, and the adds are as obnoxious nails on a chalkboard. Most of the time when I post images here they're obviously related to bitcoin, and I don't need some third party image hosting company tracking my financial habits.
The upload link I posted above is what I am using, no ads there and I just upload directly using the link. I do not have account registered and it works fine. Edit: I just saw go ad-free on the site, but I have not gone for such option before and I saw no ads displayed, even I used it again just now and no ad seen.

I don't think so, I can even use the tool without having an account. Here's an example.
Apart from that there are several other image hosting sites that are also great for you to use without having an account, no KYC required. Although I mostly use imgbb or imgur, but this one is also worth a try. https://postimages.org/

You can without having an account with them. I don't know why it was asking you for having the account. However, with VPN that I use sometimes, it does not allow to upload image.About the problem you are having, I too experienced in some cases the image were not loading and I was thinking about my internet service provider or connection issue with TOR until now.
I use https://imgur.com/upload and copy the bbcode, it always work fine. It only work on desktop version.

imgbb is a pretty decent image hosting site, and no need for KYC, lol. Maybe it is imgbb that's causing the issue. Right now I can see all my images that I've posted, but they've been problematic for at least two, maybe three weeks.
I usually use imgbb.com for hosting images, and lately I've noticed the "Bitcointalk.org Image Proxy: Invalid Image" warning pop up frequently. The problem is inconsistent, sometimes the image is displayed fine, other times the image won't load.
I've seen that warning a lot more recently and I think it's just a forum problem.
I thought it might've been due to more images trying to be loaded on the forums end and the proxy/Webserver dropping requests/communications. (it's especially apparent on pages with multiple images but is normally resolved by waiting a minute and refreshing).

Should I not be using imgbb.com, or is there something else going on?
