Photo hosting - I know I've asked the same stupid question before, and I never seem to use the answers, but I'm asking -

[eppur_se_muova]

(after all, one site after another has gone from being "FANTASTIC SITE !!!! GREATEAST EVAH !!" to "accursed swamp!" in remarkably short order) so ... what's CURRENTLY the most ***trouble-free*** (incl. DU-friendly) site for posting photos and graphics ??

I'm running old software on old platforms (OSX, Linux, occasionally even Win8), so anything which avoids incompatibility issues should help.

1. Use Imgur

Use Imgur

It's 100% FREE
It has unlimited uploads
It has a smart phone app for both iOS and Android
It has extensive privacy features

To get the code to post a picture on here simply right click on the picture, select "open image in new tab", then in that new window simply copy and paste the URL which will end in .jpg or .gif

And you're off to the races.

5. I use Imgur

I like Imgur and it is easy to use. Sometimes it is clunky, but I figure that's my laptop and modem.

At least one DUer based in Great Britain said they can't see images from Imgur. I checked and because Imgur doesn't vet uploads, and there might be content like pornography, Imgur posts aren't viewable in GB.

I just learned of a site called Post Image (ty, DiamondDog!) and I am going to try it.

Good luck.

6. I used to use Post Image

before I used Imgur. It's a really good image host and the only trouble I had with it was that it's reliability wasn't as good as Imgur. For instance, Imgur is basically up 100% of the time whereas Post Image is up 90%-95% of the time. Also, Imgur has an app whereas Post Image does not.

2. I've been using this one with success:

https://x02.me/

Click inside the big rectangle where it says drag and drop

Choose the photo from your device

Give it a couple of sends to upload

Scroll down just a bit to "recent uploads"

Hit the red "copy" button on the right

Paste the link into your DU post

4. All I get is a solid black page. nt

8. I signed to this one yesterday

I didn't have to, but if i use it, it might make it easier to find what I upload

Thanks for the tip.

7. In the event that you choose Imgur

I had to uncheck the "mature comments and posts" in the settings in the beginning of this year. What I'm about to warn about might not bother you.

I went through this annoyance earlier in the year where suddenly Imgur posters started a thing on Tuesday called HTT (Happy Titty Tuesday) and on Thursdays is THT (Thigh High Thursdays). At first I was like alright whatever but after while it became super annoying.

As a woman, I don't want to view photos of other women's cleavage and in their lingerie.

Imgur is simple enough to navigate. There's plenty of progressive/liberal/Democratic political memes and posts so that's always good to view. I've never once view anything else pertaining to the opposition.
