TinyPic is Closing

[bigballofyarn]

This means a few things:
1. I'm going to be removing the secondary image uploader within the next few days.

2. There will soon be an "add image" button for your convenience in the quick reply.

3. If you are hosting anything on TinyPic, you need to find another image host immediately. You cannot use Imgur, Imgbb, or most other services for your avatar or signature. Avatars can be uploaded directly to the forum. If you are using TinyPic, save the image to your computer, and upload it via your profile.



You can try the following image upload resources:
nickpic.host/
www.freeimagehosting.net/
postimages.org/

4. All forum images, except for a handful, are hosted on Proboards directly. Don't worry about losing your favorite emoticon.

Feel free to post comments or ask questions.

Update:

It's ready. Now we can save on page views.



Update 2 (7-19-19):

I'm going to go through as many profiles as possible and upload TinyPic content to fire.wolf [006]'s server. He has generously offered to help. You may see ads during this process as I will be generating many page clicks.

My avatar is on tinypic. So, it'll be broken when they close? Did they give you a date? Where can we host now?

Host your avatar directly to the forum.

I like how the add image button is animated.

You can host photos on Nickpic.

Awesome suggestion. This is what I just read in their ToS.

You may use said direct and or hotlink in site elements, avatars, signatures, or as a content delivery network for a forum of moderate traffic in nature.

Can we all share a group Nickpic account?

Love the new feature, and I'll check to make sure I'm not using TinyPic for anything.

Photobucket and TinyPic are out to ruin lives.

I'm not sure if we can have a group account. I found out about Nickpic through a role-play forum I recently joined. Nickpic is designed for role-players, but I don't think it matters what you use the photos for.

Excellent job.
