TinyPic - your photo hosting?

So, TinyPic is closing down this year, unable to support free hosting due to falling ad. revenues, and have a bloody cheek suggesting you go and pay on their sister site Photobucket who caused a furore when they were offering "membership" for something like $300 a year, I seem to remember.

And so, with a touch of irony I post here their message, viewed this morning.

Shame really as I got on well with TinyPic.....................
Going to be OK until December this year but am always open to suggestions (not that sort!!) - What do you use?

Every image I have posted here has always been with https://imgbb.com/ Simple to use and easy to adapt code for posting; just change img to image

Thanks Stephen, but er, nope - tried it twice with modification and it don't work for me - what am I doing wrong, and am not sure what you mean by "just change img to image" as your link and your image upload are different.

I remember when Photobucket was free as well!

(I am remembering right, it used to be free?)

The link you are given has img and /img surrounding the picture link.
Delete any guff outside those two and change img to image

Yes.

As you can see from above I am getting no where fast. On their site I get three option links....................

Viewer links = https://ibb.co/n7HFNQk

HTML full linked =

BBCode full linked = [url=https://imgbb.com/][img]https://i.ibb.co/hBPSJ28/TEST.jpg[/img][/url]

.............and none of them work or look like what you at talking about Steve - HELP!

The second one won't even post on here!! I need to go and have a lie down............................

There's no image uploaded???

I dunno what is going on.

Suddenly all the "TESTS" have appeared! I certainly uploaded the image. Have they now appeared because you have tweaked them?

You say Easy Peasy Stephen, but honestly TinyPic is so much easier it seems to me at this moment AND they couldn't make it any clearer with stating "IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards" and no probs.- just change the "IMG" for "image"; BUT with the one you use I am not sure whether to use:-

Viewer links
OR
HTML full linked
OR
BBCode full linked

I just post the picture - temporarily - on ebay, either by adding it briefly to a listing I already have up & running there or by creating a new listing and scheduling it to start at some future date. Once it's on the ebay site, copy the image address (if you're using Google Chrome) or copy image location (if using Firefox) upload it on to this site as required and then delete the extra picture or cancel the advance listing on ebay.

As Bootsie used to say "Ooo Wa". I'll try that .........................as soon as the bastards have removed my listing ban.
