[case]

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.

Goddamn ):

So only the States can upload? What about Canada?

OP who sent the heads up to techno

Yeah, I was wondering what was happening with secrets that have already been submitted. I mean, it sounds like one might still be able to view the pics on tinypic. Would it be possible to be a bit lenient with the 'doing it wrong' rule for now?

I submitted something recently and I don't know if that will even still work (unfortunately, I already deleted the secrets from my computer again :()

[puckyducky.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing tinypic is US based then?

As long as they don't make it that international users can't see the actual pics others uploaded, then I guess it's okay...

[rocks-not-dead.livejournal.com]

Hm, I think if you go on Tinypic and don't get that message on the main page aka, can still upload, you'll know. That's how I found out.

Re: OP who sent the heads up to techno

The doing it wrong rule is only for people who link to the page or to a download and not to the image, that doesn't have anything to do with this.

...huh, reading back, that sounded a lot more curt than intended, I just meant to explain HAHA

[erinmar13.livejournal.com]

that is SOME KIND of bullshit.

Re: OP who sent the heads up to techno

[rocks-not-dead.livejournal.com]

Ah, no, that's ok. I just never really look at those secrets much anyway and just noticed they linked to the tinypic site rather than an image. In which case I thought that might be how tinypic secrets reach you now.

FYI I'm in the UK and not getting the message, must be selected countries

[verschreibsel.livejournal.com]

Yeah I'm in Germany and didn't even read the last post because so much is uploaded with tinypic that I can't see anything unless clicking a direct link :(

[dar-actually.livejournal.com]

Same with Ireland. For now.

[thechameleonnn.livejournal.com]

lame.

[rocks-not-dead.livejournal.com]

Gah, damnit. Another reason to get back to the UK asap (like I don't have enough already lol).

Hm, either that, or they're just staggering turning it off in different countries and Germany was one of the first.

[verschreibsel.livejournal.com]

PS: I just saw they only said uploading. You can't see the pictures either internationally, at least here.

[dar-actually.livejournal.com]

Wait no, I got that wrong. Ireland's one the selected countries. Bollocks.

[rosehiptea.livejournal.com]

Damn, that really sucks.

[arathe.livejournal.com]

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. :/

[iamashamed.livejournal.com]

This really sucks.

[verschreibsel.livejournal.com]

imageshack.us :)

[anthraxpretzels.livejournal.com]

Imgur

[roaringmay.livejournal.com]

Anyone else who can't access all their uploaded pics? All of mine show up as thumbnails, but most of them won't load to full size. :/

[rampant-chaos8.livejournal.com]

Well, that's stupid.

[lostwiginity.livejournal.com]

I'm so swearing IRL right now. I HAD SO MANY THINGS UPLOADED THERE!!!!!

[hilsongirl.livejournal.com]

i can't see anything uploaded to tinypic from Argentina. And i had an account there, imagine my joy.

[hilsongirl.livejournal.com]

THIS. I can't see half the secrets lately (i am in Argentina)
