Hey everybody, so now that we can't use imageshack anymore ALL of my image upload sites have been turned down. What do you guys use? Thanks for any help.

How's everybody doing?!

I use Photobucket for graphics that are going on LJ with my name on them (like icons and picspams and whatnot). I never even knew there was quality problems until someone pointed it out. But I'm saving everything as .png and apparently that helps.

For contests where we can't use anything with a "revealing" username so to speak I use imgur.

I've even noticed lately that imgur has been messing with my images. First it was just the larger ones that I saw a huge difference in but now it's icons too :/ And I save them in .png, so I'm not really sure where to go to now.

Yeah, before when I uploaded picspams and wallpapers they got really distorted and now my icons look way more sharpened when I upload them with imgur

I found that happened to me too with imgur, but only if you click through the picture to copy the URL; if you right click on the picture and copy that they're not distorted.

If that makes sense?

Ugh, how bothersome :c ImageShack is the only one I've used for a long time. Guess I should start using my domain-space for image hosting now since I don't really like any other image-hosts that I've tried.

I use imgur for my challenge submissions. Also, TinyPic has been working (at least recently) for all countries. It could eff up again, but for the time being, it's working.

I use imgur for challenges, and photobucket for actual icon posts.

(I use box.net for wallpapers actually, with a resized smaller copy of the wallpaper uploaded to a site like photobucket for a preview.)
