Default What image hosting sites do you use for posting pictures?
I've just noticed photo's I've posted on the forum in the past year have disappeared whereas there are still photo's on the threads from other users that were posted years ago. Little gutted because I lost my back-up and was looking forward to reminiscing about my old simmies.

Any hints on how to get photo's to stay for longer?

Thanks

Sorry if your pics are lost. I host mine myself on my Hostgator account where I also put my websites.

Only imgur. Pics uploaded there stay probably forever, unless you delete it yourself.

Doesn't MYP compress images? I swear every image hosted there looks awful.

Me, I use Imgur. Ever since photobucket decided to be dicks.

I use imgur and tumblr. Though imgur does have text in it's user agreement not to use it mainly for hosting images on third party sites, people do that anyway so there's a risk of getting terminated, though highly rare at this time. Tumblr images stay for awhile but I have run into an issue where they change servers over a number and then I have to go back and update a lot of my pic links in this forum. Only maybe twice in the past 4 years though.

Uh oh! My social bar is low - that's why I posted today.

I used to use that, but stopped when the server went wonky. It seems to still be broken since it still won't let me log in and and I had to re-upload a lot of my images that used to be on MYP directly to the image forums here on MTS.

Same here - I can't log in either.

I use Imgur, Postimage and photobucket (still keep an annual membership with them since I use it for other things and they came to their senses before my last one expired and rolled back their pricing to something realistic).

Though if you are not a member, hosted photobucket images have that hideous watermark on them. So, I'd go with Imgur or Postimage if you're looking for free hosting.

Thanks everyone!! I'm going to try imgur. I've used photobucket in the past but I've never really got along with it.

https://modyourpanties.com/ does not work.

I also notice that I cannot attach (any) files on some threads - does anyone know why that is so?

I tried Imgur for a while, but didn't like the folder system or that they gave new names to the images. Tried Tinypic, they kept deleting images or accidentally reusing the picture names. Stopped using Photobucket, for obvious reasons.

Now I use https://postimages.org/ because it's easy and free to use, keeps the original picture name (I hate it when they change the name, because if there are issues I like to know which pictures I posted where), and has a folder system, which are my main criterias for a functional image host.

I've had occasional issues, like them switching the image address a couple times (I had to use the swear filter on my site to batch-fix links), and the images sort after name instead of upload date so things can get a little messy if I'm just using the screnshot names (I'm too lazy to change them up unless I'm doing a story chapter), but other than that I'm happy with it.
