Image deletions, or, How Does Imgur Work?

(Anonymous) 2014-04-09 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
So I've been going through the fandom secrets from earlier this year and noticed that several of the images have been "moved or deleted" already. Since I've just started submitting secrets and don't want that to happen to my own secrets, I just wanted to know if those images get deleted because the secret submitter didn't log into their account for a long period of time, or if there's some other cause that I should try to avoid.

Thanks for the help/advice!

I assumed the OP manually deleted them themselves. When you get an image hosted, you're given a deletion code in case you want to do this later.

You don't have to have an imgur account to host a picture, or to log into one. I think most secrets are hosted outside an account, to preserve the anonymity of the OP.

I just checked, and all the secrets today have an imgur account. Does Case upload them to his own account then, or something else? I genuinely have no idea how this works, and I'd definitely like to keep some form of anonymity, so if anyone could tell me how to submit secrets without an account, I'd be really grateful.

No, they don't. I know for a fact because I've got a secret posted today and I don't have an imgur account. You don't need one to upload/host pictures, just go to their homepage, on the right is a big "Upload Images" button with a choice of computer or web. When the uploading is finished, right click and choose the "copy URL" option and cut and paste it into the submissions.

No idea how or why some images eventually expire, but it's nothing to do with logging in or not.

OP again

Ah, I see! Thanks so much! I'll try that next time, and if it gets deleted, maybe I'll use an account just in case.
