Guest hahathhat Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 it now wants you to sign up in order to get the "direct link." i use firebug to peek in the form object they've walled off, and get the link without signing up. but now i note, it seems to be taking the animation out of animated gifs. unacceptable ! i liked the site, it was good... but no more. farewell, imageshack Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/65334-imageshack-has-shot-itself-in-the-foot/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosmachine Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 imgur.com has been the best choice for a while. doesn't look like it's going anywhere, either. their upload interface is kind of over-designed, though.

delet... Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 yeah, i wondered why every image i check on here seems to be from imgur. Now i know what and why.

Guest Coalbucket PI Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I think tinypic is still okay but they make you do the ReCaptcha thing which is a bit annoying. Imageshack still works if you fish the direct link out of the forum code. I've never tried imgur, I will if I remember it next time I need one. I only really use these sites to host weird images that I don't want on my server, but then again tinypic kept deleting all my wrong mspaints so I had to host them.

Guest Space Coyote Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 I'm not sure what you guys are talking about. I just uploaded an image to show someone how to use uttorent and I got a direct link without any trickery http://img62.imageshack.us/f/unledfq.jpg/ <--- is that not the sort of thing you're after? I just upped my image, clicked on the thumbnail size version under upload successful, and then clicked on the preview that showed which is http://img62.imageshack.us/i/unledfq.jpg/ and that is how I got the url for the full size picture above Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/65334-imageshack-has-shot-itself-in-the-foot/#findComment-1558287 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest the anonymous forumite Posted April 13, 2011 Report Share Posted April 13, 2011 No, you don't need to sign up in order to get the direct link. If you're on firefox, just right-click and get picture info. If you're using Chrome, richt click and copy image url.
