if you have an imgur and want to save all your pics in one go, then go to your settings! there is a button on the bottom that let's you save them all

icon makers and screenshot makers, please take note!

oh shit I'm gonna do that just to get a backup

rip most layouts tho

aaand aparently I was databreashed and my account is unaccessable anyway

omg the layouts! DX

oh dear. i'm very out of the loop on image hosting sites... what alternatives are folks using nowadays?

i guess i can also switch the layouts to something else if the images in those breaks...

a couple of icon makers have been using imgbb

but if you live in the Philippines like I do, you can only see the images when you turn on your VPN

https://imgbox.com/ using this for quick and dirty hosting

oooh

idk about icons, since there IS an upper data limit, but you can host images on DW accounts directly.

imgbox also need my VPN to be on B|

:|

why though whyyyy

anyway, i'll look out for alternatives. what i liked about imgur is that you can save your stuff in an album

oh hold on. it's imgbox where i need to use a VPN to see images. Upload Image — Free Image Hosting doesn't need me to use a VPN

that's imgbb oops

found another one! Squidge.org, a Space for Fandom because Fandom deser...

it has image hosting

I'll make another public plurk to share alternatives for image hosting

Postimages — free image hosting / image upload

nooooo rip

damn...

@krachoo - Alternatives to IMGUR! note: if you live ...

i'm also using this to download icons:Download All Images

does anyone know if there's a way to download all your pics in one go on the mobile app?

^ditto here, but for desktop.

(nvm, I couldn't figure it out so I just grabbed my borrowed Chromebook to do it fff)

i stopped using imgur years ago when they were cracking down on single/incidental uploads; they've been very unkind to iconsets at minimum for a while now

just pinging all the iconners / screencappers / coders / resources I follow gomen 🙇

I have been using Cloudinary for some time as an image hosting alt!

I'll add that to the list! Ty!

ah, balls.

Lylith I figured you needed to know this

thanks for pinging me. i use imgbb and haven't touched imgur in years so my stuff is safe(?????). but for a good alternative, altervista is supposedly really great. i haven't tried it tho

will add that to the list! Ty!

Oughhh thank you for the ping. This is going to be so much work to update lmao

kitsune_wolf: oh shit, thanks. A lot of my rp related inages/layouts are going to get messed up yeah

ooff all this is shitty

like photobucket all over, bleh

I usually go with postimage for my icons when I make them so at least those are safe...

oh shit

squidge is very reliable and also NSFW friendly as long as the NSFW is for personal fandom purposes (broadly defined)

imgbb is, as stated above, a bit flaky as a remote host, but I use it for backup a lot

Waifuvault is free and privately-owned by a friend of mine who says she's fine with people using it to host images, and it's NSFW-friendly

all my icons since 2019 have been hosted on imgbb, but I have a ton of images hosted on imgur for personal use so thank you for the heads up

Yikes, sucks about imgur. I liked it could generate a multi-icon link list so it could be tossed into an icon table generator all in one go

timefreeze: imgbb can also do that!

Good to hear! I'll have to make an account then. Is there any easy ways to transfer from imgur to imgbb or do I just upload to imgbb from the computer all over again in batches?

I been using imgbb too and... Yeah it annoys me a lot sometimes but hasn't spontaneously deleted any of my stuff the way imgur started to

I had stuff on imgur for a game I was running and it outright deleted ALL the images for it one day. So I'm not surprised it's come to this point

hhhhh it sucks that deleting my stuff from imgur inevitably means breaking old RP threads, reddit posts etc. that the pics were for
I mean, old enough it's not worth going back to edit them even in the event that I could, but it still bugs me!

tbh I've been seeing the downfall of imgur incoming for a while with their...pivot? I guess you could call it? where it seemed like they were attempting to make imgur...like facebook or something? it's weird

but yeah I guess I'll note this down to delete my stuff and find alternate hosts. ugh

I switched to img bb some time back. Overall it works well for me.

I recommend using Imgbb and imagevenue, both are pretty good and free to use. (I may end up using something open source in the future, because I might want to self host my own stuff at some point.)

So many good choices!! Hard to decide what to pick!

For imgbb what's the storage limit for a free account?

I'm transferring stuff over to ImgBB but the tile view, how much longer it takes to load, and the apparent inability to reorganize pictures in an album (or at least there's no drag-and-drop, and the "sort by" options seem to imply there's no way to reorganize the Set Order) are getting on my nerves.

But hey, it otherwise seems to work pretty well.

I tried making an account for imgbox, and it's kind of taking too long for me to get my verification email...so I'll just use Catbox as an alt as well too tbh. Any image hosting software with subscriptions are a no-no for me.
