Is anyone else having issues with tinypic? I noticed a problem as of my last blog posting.

It seems like half the time (or more) it takes a small eternity for tinypic images to load (if they load at all; occasionally I'll just get a box with the file's name and .jpg as if it's broken or this).

Normally I'll use the BBCode to post, but when I use the tree icon and the link it'll not even show up in the textbox. At all.

Tried using imgur and it shows up near instantly when I load the page.

 

Not sure where the problem originates.

It only started happening recently.

Gyazo images are also loading instantly.

Some tinypics ARE loading normally/instantly but not all...

I stopped using Tinypic when they got hacked and urls got switched to link innocent images to porn and such.

Wow, that sucks. Never heard about that. Was it recent?

Have a ton of images on there, and liked them better than Photobucket so been procrastinating switching again.

Really liked being able to resize instantly as I upload also.

 

But guess it's time to stop lollygagging...
Have any recommendations for an alternative? or is imgur really the best atm?

It was maybe a couple of years ago?

I use imgur.

I've noticed the tinypic issue. But I just wait for it to load since all I do is sit around on my ass anyway.

I don't use tinypic because the links don't work here (in Brazil). I couldn't find the exact reason, but apparently tinypic had some problems with Brazil or something.

Imgur is the real thing.

I've had issues viewing tinypic pictures before this bug.  Imgur & Photobucket are best.

Imgur it is then. Thanks guys. Always appreciate the recommendations and guidance.
