Anyone else having problems with Imgur this morning (Friday)?
I'm getting a warning about the site not being secure, and when I ignore that and go to the site anyway, I can't upload images from my laptop to Imgur. When the upload fails, I'm advised to try again later.

It seems to be working on my Windows PC, but the Android app on my smartphone is not working. I did a Google search on Imgur problems, and sites like Downdetector are reporting problems since around 9:00 pm yesterday. That's when I first noticed it was not working for me.
I'm not getting any security warnings.

I just tried it and it worked as normal for me.

Thanks for the info, Gary and Mike. Mike, you're a lucky dog, and Gary, I hope your smartphone problems with Imgur clear up ASAP.

I can now get to the Imgur site without security warnings. But I'm still unable to upload photos from my laptop to Imgur as the first step in posting an image to BF.

Is there a benefit to using imgur over the normal BF image upload system?

In theory, there is a data limit to how many images we can upload. Unfortunately, since the last site update, there's no way (as far as I know) to look and see what that limit is, or how close to it I am. There isn't an easy way to delete photos either, besides searching your own posts and going and deleting them individually. Doing that can ruin older archived threads if lots of pictures are missing.

The "mysterious" data limit that r8shell mentions for images uploaded directly from a BF member to this site is exactly the reason I use Imgur (or PostImage or whatever).

Just used imgbox for this.



I thought that when the last major upload for BF was done that there was no longer a limit for uploading pictures using the BF image upload system.
