Imageshack

What's going on with Imageshack, it appears to be down?

Imageshack is still around? I thought everyone used imgur now and tinypic.

I use Flickr personally

I only started using it a couple of weeks ago :(

... so imgur, tinypic or Flickr?

[Corkin]

Imgur personally for me, but have also used tinypic as well.

I'll give it a day or 2, if its still not working, I'll change over and presumably have to edit any picture url's

[Corkin]

Tinypic i think gives you 4 or 5 urls for forums, direct links once the upload is complete which is handy.

I used imageshack back in the day, then switched to imgur but hardly ever need image hosting anyway. Most sites like this let you upload photos directly, then if you need to post the same photo again you can get the URL of the original photo and post that, instead of uploading the same thing again.

That makes me think, it would be good if this forum let you see all the photos you've uploaded, whether in the gallery or not, so you can easily find them and re-post them when someone asks "can you post a photo of your headlights" etc ;)

Another advantage of uploading photos directly to the forum is that imgur and similar sites are often blocked by office internet connections (for obvious reasons) which is the case at my work.

Edit: I just had a look in the gallery on here and if you right click on a photo there is a "direct link to image", so we could just upload any photos to the gallery and easily post them to any threads using that link.
