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.

Does this mean internationals won't be allowed to view the content?

I'm from the US, so if I upload an image to tinypic and post it somewhere, would someone from, say, Spain, still be able to see it?

Yes they will, they just won't be able to upload to Tinypic.

No, we don't see them. At least I don't see any picture with the path "www.tinypic.com" - "ixx.tinypic.com" seems to be okay.

Or so they'd lead you to believe :/ In actuality: all we get are pic-sized images that tell us the image can't be displayed due to an error code.

Yeah I've noticed :/ They were working earlier fine but now I'm getting the error images too.

I'm from the Netherlands and anything uploaded to tinypic appears as a dead link to me. Can't see any of it. =/

My friend from the US posted recently pictures from tinypic, and me, being from Czech republic, I can't see them.

Well, I'm from Germany and since yesterday tinypic doesn't work for me either, not even link-wise. I wouldn't be able to see your uploads. :/

People from South America can't see the pictures too.

I'm from Spain and I can't.

[identity profile] gabzillaz.livejournal.com 2010-09-24 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
Nope, we won't see them :/
