Quick note on Imageshack
« on: August 23, 2015, 10:19:17 AM »
I've noticed lately that a lot of signatures and artwork which were originally hosted on Imageshack have been replaced with advertising.

I'd recommend, if you still have the images, to re-host them elsewhere. I prefer Imgur, but it's all up to you!

If you can, I'd suggest Photobucket or a private host. Imgur deletes images after a period of time.

It looks as thought the current version (at least) of the forum software allows attachment uploads with a *lot* of admin control.

If the admins wanted to enable it  :)

I did a bit of digging and Imgur claims to never remove images now, before that they kept them long as an image got at least one view every six months. :)

Can confirm, still have images after three years! Make sure you put 'em in an album though, you can only see your latest three pages of images if you've got a free account.

I just looked and you're right! They must have moved away from their old subscription model.

I would suggest using something like Dropbox or Google Drive, that way images are never going to be deleted unless you never log in into your account (and you can also install a windows application that logs everytime you open the PC).
