Can't Post Images using ImageShack

Unread post by WCGucfa »

It seems I can no longer post images. I had no problem before.
Any suggestions or alternative sites? I've been using ImageShack.

Thanks much!

Photobucket Bill. That's what I use for my images.

Hi Bill,

Did they change the way that you choose how images are shared? I went back a ways and looked at some of your older posts and see that the images you had posted previously are still available, so I'm wondering if they did what Photobucket did last year sometime and prioritized the more popular social media sharing, like Facebook and Twitter, which made it easier for them but harder for those of us that still post to forums. It took me awhile at that time to dig up the "IMG" code, but I found it and am back in operation. I'd suggest contacting ImageShack. They are strictly a hosting service - I can't see them eliminating the img option.

Thanks Paul and Mike. Because of you, I feel there may be hope.
Mike, I have no trouble bringing up the IMG code, it seems I just can't get a communication to
our site. It used to be so easy before. Yow! How many successful posts have I made!?
I'm feeling as if some resident from the mysterious "Lights of Ceres" has removed what knowledge
I had about posting from my "brain" and is using it for a power source (good luck, Mr. Alien!).

Thanks again, guys! Let the experimentation begin!

I'm a fan of Astrobin. I like the plate solving and community over there, but next year the site will be charging an annual fee as they can no longer support the site from advertising alone. Last I heard the fee will be $36.00 / year.
