BlueJean Baby Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 For those of you that have pics stored at TinyPic, I got this message today when I logged in TinyPic is shutting down in 2019 TinyPic will be ending its image hosting service in 2019 because we can no longer support a free service that derives 100% of its revenue from ever declining on-site ad revenues. While you may continue to host images from our site until further notice, we encourage you to consider selecting one of the premium plans offered by our sister site, Photobucket. Thanks for using TinyPic for your hosting needs over the years. We apologize that we can no longer continue providing this service, but Photobucket is a great option going forward.

janrichmond Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 I never got the hang of any of those pic hosting sites. Waaay to complicated for my little brain 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfierose Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 TinyPic was used for uploading quite a lot of content here at one point. Not sure how many still use it but we may lose a lot of pictures from the forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJean Baby Posted July 18, 2019 Author Share Posted July 18, 2019 I saved all of mine to my external hard drive so I won't lose them, but expect a lot of dead links to pop up on here. 😖 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think once you save it to your profile it's saved here. Maybe one of the admins can confirm that?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do use imgur and Imgbb also. Imgur keeps purging my pics for some reason. I lost a lot on there without explanation. Now I save them all to my external hard drive before using a hosting site to share them online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

31illusions Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 I used Tinypic for all my images on here because it was so simple to use and requires no account. Shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gracii Guns Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Eh, I'm not sure if I'd like a MySpace style selfie from 2004 to ever resurface anyway. But as @alfierosesaid, this means much of the archived mygnrforum which is republished is unlikely to have photos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe one of the admins can confirm that?? @downzy may need to qualify this but I'm sure using sites like tinypic was encouraged because the picture was hosted off site meaning we didn't go over our storage capacity. This is going back to when the site running costs were prohibitive and we needed ways to remedy that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I signed up I was told to use tinypic to get an avatar size of my pic, but when I click on it, it appears to be saved here now. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
