ImageShack replacement


Question

imageshack used to be good, go there, upload, grab url to image.

but now they made it all javascript based so it's a hassle to use it now

can you suggest a good replacement that's just as reliable, relatively large (i want the obscurity of lots of people uploading to it), allows same or bigger file sizes, and doesn't require javascript for basic upload and copy direct link to image??

thanks!

I'm not too familiar with ImageShack, so I'm sorry if this is wrong, but doesn't the old version which they are still fully supporting (at the moment) work how you wish (how it used to)?

I don't know how long they will be supporting this and I know this wouldn't be perfect for the long term, but I'm hoping it might help you until you can find a replacement you prefer :)

Also, I'd recommend Photobucket too (Y)

I recommend Flickr. They have more than one method of uploading, respectively. The photos can also be licensed by Creative Commons. Lastly, you can share photos anywhere, and can even join group sharing -- which is a photo pool and discussion board.

hmm i tried the link it doesn't work either (see above link)

flickr and photobucket, unfortunately, need registration, which defeats the point

thank you guys for trying, but the closest one (tinypic) doesn't seem to be up to par with imageshack =(

Bad idea. You can't link directly to photos with Flickr's terms of service. You need to provide a link to the image's page... Of course you can use it that way, but if they find out, your account will be terminated.

"Do link back to Flickr when you post your Flickr content elsewhere.

The Flickr service makes it possible to post content hosted on Flickr to outside web sites. However, pages on other web sites that display content hosted on flickr.com must provide a link from each photo or video back to its page on Flickr."

I think photobucket was more bandwidth & size upload friendly. All I would do is re-size to keep it under a meg most time. I ended up getting a flickr account since it was not very expensive and now I can do full size photos and decent video clips.

    • When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!
    • Same, never saw it on Android or iOS. Guess only some people got it *shrugs*
    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
