TinyPic...

i got sick of jumping through the hoops on tinypic and switched to imgur...

Their Progressive ads are annoying because you can't lower the volume on them. I just take my headphones off and go to another browser tab while that plays out.

But does that make sense? Would an IT dept stop uploads like image files after so many years of allowing it? Is that a thing IT does for security? Or could it be something else?

could be, if their usage policy changed...

I'm on tinypic since ages. (And like it more than others)
The same happened to me two days ago - I couldn't upload the TIME frontpage with Trump on it.

I just noticed that this frontapage is there a couple of times (must have tried to upload it five times), but I can't upload anything now

The last time I wanted to post pictures here, I had problems with both tinypic and imgur (and imageshack too for that matter). They all either had too many hoops to jump through, or they had size/resolution limits that prevented me from showing what I wanted to.

I ended up giving up on all of the established names and looking at upstart sites that I had never heard of before. I ultimately chose this place:
http://imgbox.com

For a sample of the quality of service that they offered for free, here is the post where I used them:

(Note that some of the pictures are resized by a2k codes, and are much larger than they appear in-post.)

It would be nice for IT to notify us on security changes like this.

why not ask them...
