As a heads up:

"I just got this message when I went on tinypic from my location in Germany.

Tinypic is no longer accepting uploads from international locations, and links are turned off. If you have content on Tinypic, you can still view the URLs and the content, but only on Tinypic. To upload, share, or link content, please go to Photobucket.com to register an account. You will need to upload your content again to your Photobucket account, but you will be able to share and link your images and videos. We’re sorry for the inconvenience and hope that you enjoy Photobucket, our premier image and video site

Upon clicking for more information:

Tinypic International is changing. Beginning September 23rd, you will no longer be able to upload content to Tinypic and your links will be turned off. Please begin using Photobucket to upload, share and link your images and videos."

This is probably the reason so many tinypic secrets are messing up.

Is there another site like tinypic that doesn't require registration to use that doesn't have this problem? Because that's some kinda lame. :/

I've never tried uploading anything at Imageshack, but as for viewing the pics hosted there -- FORGET ABOUT IT. They're either oddly resized, or out of bandwidth, or just won't load period. But perhaps that's just me (in Sweden) *shrugs*

imageshack always worked perfectly for me. I use it to upload gifs and they're not down after years.

Excellent! Many thanks. :)

you're welcome

imageshack always runs out of bandwidth within a couple of hours. Unless you happen to be on just as the post goes up, you get "bandwidth exceeded" image. I live in the US.

Really? I read them the day after and they're mostly still up

I second imgur. They allow most types of photos (basically anything that isn't child abuse), too.

Clearly, my knowledge of such things is limited. Thanks. XD

I'm all for imgur.com. It's an excellent site and I sort of know the person who created it. It's way better than tinypic.
