My pictures are failing to show. [View all]

I've been using https://postimages.org/ to post here, but lately after day or two I and others see a placeholder with orders to upgrade to premium.
ie: https://www.democraticunderground.com/100220289088 It seems some see it, but many don't. Now even I can't see my posts.

It even says it's a free image posting site.
Is there a better and more reliable site?

You might want to post in photography forum SheltieLover May 6 #1

I do post in that group. That's how I found "PostImages" to begin with JohnnyRingo May 6 #3

The fault is postimage. They throttle traffic, so you can share with a few friends but not to large readerships Bernardo de La Paz May 6 #2

I think you're on to something JohnnyRingo May 6 #6

I use post images all the time... MiHale May 6 #5

If there's comic posted here you might have sold me. JohnnyRingo May 6 #11
