MY IMAGE HOSTING HISTORY...
I used to use an image hosting service called Imgur. I had thousands of images of all sorts stored there. I did not study the 'Terms of Service' closely, as most don't, and found out that they do not allow anything other than G-Rated images. To my chagrin, I discovered this the hard way when one day without warning my Image Account with them was deleted completely after they went snooping around in my account and I lost over 10,000 images. As a result, they were all deleted from any and all Posts that I put them on here on SW and elsewhere.
Then I started using another image hosting service called imgbb that allowed all image types. After using hundreds of more images that I downloaded to that Image Hosting Site for Posts here on SW, it turned out that they were famously unreliable, with the images many times showing and then not showing on the Posts, back and forth.
The Third Time is suppose to be a Charm, right? ...no, wrong! I switched to a third image hosting site that allows all image types and downloaded thousands of images again from scratch over many months. This service was called imgbash. The site just shut down yesterday and appears to be permanently, thus deleting my images on all the Posts I used them on over the last year.
I am beginning again with a 4th Image Hosting Service and hope that this will be the last service I will have to use and will be reliable.
In the mean time, when you see my Posts with images deleted, this is what happened. I am going to try and replace the images on the most popular Posts but this will take many weeks and months to accomplish.
Thank you for your patience ...I LOVE YOU!
