Is PostImage Still a Valid Image Hosting Service on FreeOnes?

[ChuckFaze]

I am using PostImage to host my Signature image.
I enclosed the URL in the square-brackedted BBCode IMG Start Tag and /IMG End Tag.
It displays perfectly on MY end.
But, I am told other people cannot see my Signature image.
They tell me they only see a Red X.
And yes, I've clicked on the little box to display my Signature on the Posts on which I want it to display.

So ... why is my Signature not displaying for others to see and yet displays to where I can see it in my Posts and in my Profile?
Is PostImage still a valid Hosting Service on Freeones?
Or is it no longer valid and I need to use another Hosting Service?

It is usually the image hosting sites who block us and not the other way around.
That said I would not know if PostImage has blocked us but there's a whole thread dedicated to image hosting services.
Take a look and perhaps you'll find your answer there or an alternative hosting site

Thanks, Regina!
I'll try a different Hosting Service later today.

Well, your sig is working now and it's still hosted from postimage. They haven't changed their terms of service, there's still the option to upload adult content. Accidentally not using that option when uploading would explain it. Adult content that's not marked as such will be deleted as soon as someone there notices it (and you will still see the image until you clear your browser cache). It doesn't seem like it was the case here, unless you did something with your sig between the time of this writing and your previous post here.

Other than that, I think it might have been an occasional glitch, or maybe the image generated more traffic than their bandwidth allowance is for hotlinking (very unlikely for signature sized images though and certainly not the case if it happens very soon after you upload the pic). There's no clear record of their bandwidth limits anywhere on their site though. Hmm... that's another stat I will have to be adding to the thread at some point for all those hosting sites.

I don't know if it's a glitch, I still can't see his sig.

Strange. It still works for me. I cleared the cache and reloaded the page to make sure that it wasn't loading from cache (Firefox 10.0.2 in use).
