a good host site for forum images?
« on: 18 October 2017, 01:17:49 »
I just went through my forum Post history, to look at the photos of scenery and mech paint jobs and stuff that I have posted in the past, and every image was an error message! So, I went to Photobucket, where I have hosted all my photos for years - scenery, paint jobs, dozens of different miniatures and board games, and so on, so I can embed photos into forum posts on websites - and every single image is gone. They all say "this image has been removed".

Does anyone know of a good free website that lets users upload photos, that the photos can then be inserted into forum posts to share with people? I don't trust photobucket anymore.

I use imgur, it does not go public unless you click SHARE WITH COMMUNITY, its free and i've had no issues with it.

Google Photo is also free, and if you have a gmail account, it's there for you already.

If you go with their "default resolution" option, it's unlimited storage.

It is a little funky about sharing, but by default it won't unless you choose to make the images available.
