Today, it seems that many people are bugged by their images swapped with other people's images, or even their photos deleted. It's very disastrous, and most of these users who complained about the problem are using Tinypic or ImageShack. When their images gets swapped with another person's image, this could be NSFW content that can be against the rules, or even causes screenshots in your projects to be invalid.

I don't have screenshots at all to show proof, because I don't use my Imageshack account at all, nor even use Tinypic.

Change your avatar/posts/signature as much as possible if you're using TinyPic or possibly ImageShack. I recommend you start using imgur, PhotoBucket, or Dropbox. Tinypic and Imageshack are starting to become unreliable for people who use it. If you use an unreliable image host or hotlink without permission, and the external image is replaced with something that violates the rules, you can and will be held responsible. Therefore, please use a reliable image host and do not hotlink.

Seconding use of Photobucket and Dropbox. I don't know if there is actually a problem present with the other services, though.

Also, we do have attachments. But it's fine if you don't want to use those.

Most of my pics are in Imgur and Flickr both of them don't seem to have a problem but i remember on imageshack it deleted some of my images automatic.

Is there announcement from the sites that they're having these issues?

Frozen: I think imageshack deletes images after a long time, but I could be wrong

This is why I stopped using both sites a long time ago. Anybody can easily strongly reccomend NOT using either and instead using almost any other, including imgur, postimage, and so on.

Imageshack has always had its share of problems so I wouldn't see this as a surprise.
I use IMGur, I'm pleased with how it works. either that or my second recommendations would be PostImage or Photobucket. Of course there are plenty more image hosting services, but these seem to be the most popular, and they are the most reliable image uploading sites/services.

Hmmm.... I wonder why no one bothers to... or uses the attachments? It actually saves you some time... with the whole uploading images to the web thing. :p I guess that's a secondary option?

I use postimage free unlimited Space, only Con is the photo get delete after amount of time if a photo has not have any views on it in XYZ time.

I used to use Tinypic, but then I switched to Google. Good thing I did it.
