Is anyone else having issues with posting pics from "postimages"?

This is the site I have used here for years and now all it does is post the broken pic jpeg below. Has something changed there or here?

1. The change

Postimages changed their policy a couple of months ago. Options that were previously free required payment. The change had a bait and switch feel to it, but we were i the middle of a publishing project and didn't have much choice but to pay up. That said we use it all of the time and it has been useful for us.

2. The format has changed there

Now when I load a pic , it used to display it , now it doesn’t automatically . It displays 3 guis …
proceed
img . Xxxx
Proceed

Doesn’t matter which one I pick , it opens a spam link
I kill it and choose again , then it displays the pic and he links to it .

I just did this pic , same thing happened


But then it works

4. postimages sent my phone to a malware page with the "proceed" but not on the computer,

which has Firefox and ublock-origin.

They enshittified (but still work). Imgbb can be disasrously slow. (but still works)
I have lately switched to 8upload.com until they enshittify.

Others have real or philosophical problems for me.

This entire matter of "you must post a link" (not just DU, it's everywhere) sucks horribly.

When dinosaur email is far easier to use and more visually pleasing and informative ... well, that means that social media are garbage to use.

And I post a TON of graphics.

7. I just checked...and now the picture is showing. Must have been a glitch with the site.

Odd. But, I am glad it is working again.

3. Sounds like they've done what ImageBB and Image2url did.

The free stuff is no longer good, either no direct link or multiple photos. I’ve gone to pixi.mg. I expect they’ll change. I just hate to pay

8. PM uploader

Just thought I'd reply to say cheers for trying us out. Not planning on changing anything any time soon - it's the main reason I started developing pixi.mg as this happened with others I tried.

6. This afternoon, when postimages was being weird, I found a site called "Image Chest".

Free, pretty straightforward. A very busy page comes up at first, but click on "New Post" at the top to drag and drop. Once your image is loaded, place cursor on it to get "Copy URL".
Paste into Discussion text box and you're good to go.
Used it just now for my Laundry Day post.
