Trouble posting images?

[BITCOIN4X]

Looks like imgBB is working again now (Unfortunately still not, but I saw it when I hit the preview of this post). I'm trying to upload the same image for two different formats (jpg & png) and as you can see, both images seem not to be well hosted.

Maybe it's time to say goodbye to imgBB.

I think the problem with imgBB not working on forum is not just this time, but I've had it a few times. However for this period the problem is not resolved any faster and as we know, it looks like it will take a few days. For all the image hosting sites I use (imgBB, Imgur and postimage) it looks like they will collect some user data even without a login. Here is some data collected by the imgBB site without login.

I wanted to try it out myself, so here goes. This is uploaded without registering to the site.

Viewer links:


BBCode full linked:


BBCode thumbnail linked:


After that, I registered an account and it gives me further link customization options. I can select direct links, for example, something that wasn't there before I registered.

Direct link:


To conclude, seems like the image host works just fine, but you need to create an account and select Direct links. Viewer links don't work though.

Another simple solution, if I previously posted the image link without referencing the hosting site then the image is not hosted. This means that the image will be valid if I use the full url (BBcode Full Linked) even without creating an account. The image in my previous post has been displayed.

Doesn't work (invalid proxy image):

Code:

[img]https://i.ibb.co/R3K6Nbj/Format-JPG.jpg[/img]
[img]https://i.ibb.co/v3rRP8n/Format-PNG.png[/img]

The link is working valid:

Code:

[url=https://ibb.co/LxygrRN][img]https://i.ibb.co/R3K6Nbj/Format-JPG.jpg[/img][/url]
[url=https://ibb.co/St1GnpC][img]https://i.ibb.co/v3rRP8n/Format-PNG.png[/img][/url]

The link is working valid:

Testing by removing the "code" tag. I will update the post with result 😂
Technical: For browser I am using Firefox with tor connection.
Preview works fine for both with and without image URL link

Update: Like I was expecting image with url tag and without url tag works fine 😂

To conclude, seems like the image host works just fine, but you need to create an account and select Direct links. Viewer links don't work though.

But why? In my experience, imgbb always worked properly without requiring an account.
As far as I can tell from your example, "BBCode full linked" and "Direct link" are exactly the same except that the full linked option includes the [*url] tag on the image.

Code:

[img]https://ibb.co/pxMr66S[/img]

Added "code" to explain better.
This is not image link but the web page link of the image.

Code:

[img]https://i.ibb.co/wRPrZZf/imgbb.jpg[/img]

This is an image link. Notice the file extension (.jpg) at the end of the URL. You can also call this "link for the image file".

But why? In my experience, imgbb always worked properly without requiring an account.

You do not need to. Even after uploading the file mouse hover on the image > right click > click on Copy Image Address. The URL of the address will be copied in our clipboard. Put the URL in between the "img" ([img]) tag. 😉

Actually, you are right. I didn't pay close attention to the links.
It works without an account, but not with the viewer links the image host gives you by default. You get the direct link if you register or if you remove the url tags from the BBCode full link.

And like BitcoinGirl.Club mentioned, even if you right-click on a Viewer link, like this one https://ibb.co/pxMr66S and select "copy image address," you will get the correct image link that can be posted on the forum.

Case closed finally.

IMGBB broke on this forum, can't post using their links anymore. I mean it worked fine previously even as a guest.

Try pictr.com, quality's better. No need to register as well

So much complications for a simple image upload...
Why not just use alternative imgur or postimages, so you don't have to put anything in between  

Try pictr.com, quality's better. No need to register as well

This is not true.
You can't upload anything on that pictr website without registering account, it just redirecting to login page without it.
There are many alternatives for image uploading but I would use one that has higher chances of surviving future years.

I recently also faced some issues while posting images through https://imgur.com/.

Pictr.com will not let you upload images without registering.

So which image uploading sites will you recommended that will survive for decades and centuries  (Joking)

Wait, what? I have been doing so without an account. Perhaps it could be restricted to certain countries?

Here's an example. Savor some fried chicken behind the screen :p

It keep asking me for login as soon as i hit the upload button. Weird 

I tried to use VPN too to change the country but still the result is same. I wonder why it allows you to upload without login

Beats me.

I discovered Pictr shortly after Imgbb stopped working on this forum and they supported anonymous uploads right off the bat

There is problem for imgbb as discussed but some images are visible and some are not so don't know when it will be completely resolved till then we need to find some more alternatives.

But talking about pictr.com then it's not letting us to upload the images without registering the account as shown in the these two images :

First one is from imgbb to check whether it's working or not :



Second one from postingimages.org which was suggested in this thread only and quite good over TOR also :



So at the time imgbb is also working fine at my end and there's no problem for it but can't say this has been fully resolved or not.

But why? In my experience, imgbb always worked properly without requiring an account.

I am long time imgbb user and have never made an account and it's completely fine but there is problem a their end from few days so it might resolve soon.

You do not need to. Even after uploading the file mouse hover on the image > right click > click on Copy Image Address. The URL of the address will be copied in our clipboard. Put the URL in between the "img" ([img]) tag. 😉

That's the ease of imgbb that you can directly copy the address and clipboard usage makes it more comfortable for users.
