So I'm just screwed out of putting in my arts and stuff now on my dragons/bio? Great. Thanks, discord.

I have a breeding card and i won't be able to put in in my profile because I used discord to host EVERYTHING. I guess rip all my arts and stuff, uggghh.

@Mitt Google and iCloud. I could definitely use the help, unsure how to host images on either!

I already know vaguely how things work on these drives, I think you have to make a file public to host it? Just don't know how to make it BBcode compatible, though.

This is annoying. I’ve made DMs with various Discord bots on my servers just for image storage and links. I’ll probably have to make an Imgur account or just use my Tumblr alt for this now

Edit: When this change happens is it possible to just send the image/link to Discord again and it’ll work? I’m assuming not but I just wanted to make sure

[quote name="Risshou" date="2023-10-06 23:12:14" ] Wow, thats good to know- i use Discord as my main site to link images... including my online schoolwork. This is very annoying as Discord was so convenient for that reason-- now i have to redo my whole toyhouse too which is quite annoying, as i have a lot of characters. [/quote] Posting in case anybody would like to know; After some research i found Imgur is basically the same with discord and doesnt require you to upload the work. I even discovered that you can use the discord link and paste it into imgur, and imgur will generate a new link for you! Its easier to do on PC than mobile but i thought others would like to know since its very easy to use, and you dont have to actually upload the work, and it still gives you a new link. Just copy the image address, as thats whats needed to show the image on sites like ToyHouse! :) Edit: Yes its tedious to go through and change the links over but thankfully its easy to use. I hope this helps some people!

@Risshou oh this is very good to know!!! thank you!!!

[s]i assume this doesn't count as a bump because i'm adding on more information[/s] but i found out some information regarding how they're doing the image url's with the impending change right now if you open up an image from discord or copy the link you will get a string of text at the end like this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/862312451655204878/1163105075011526847/tumblr_pjdk25fV7V1wtqfh2o1_r1_540.jpg?ex=653e5d03&is=652be803&hm=68ffdb7cf60d42255130350036df928bc82ad73ab8ce4220f9e81f2d883ca3eb& which will not work if you put it in [img][/img] BUT if you take off this part https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/862312451655204878/1163105075011526847/tumblr_pjdk25fV7V1wtqfh2o1_r1_540.jpg[b]?ex=653e5d03&is=652be803&hm=68ffdb7cf60d42255130350036df928bc82ad73ab8ce4220f9e81f2d883ca3eb&[/b] (whatever the string of gibberish is after the jpg/png/whatever) it starts to work again [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/862312451655204878/1163105075011526847/tumblr_pjdk25fV7V1wtqfh2o1_r1_540.jpg[/img] temporary fix to an unavoidable problem that we are still facing, BUT it'll be good if you still have to send images via discord while finding an alternative!

@2Blue2BTrue i like to use https://imgbox.com/ !! I also used https://freeimage.host when imgbox was under maintenance !! (imgur is too confusing for me to use so i use these two!!)

still not sure what to switch to
i used to use imgur, imgbox and imgbb
imgur has its own issues so i dont want to touch it
imgbox (and imgur) last i checked doesnt keep filenames so i just dont want to use it
imgbb... idk they put these pro account advertisements on the main page and with one of the perks being "Direct Linking" im not sure i can trust it to not break eventually.. although its been a while and that HASNT happened so really its the only good choice for me? WAIT YOU DONT HAVE TO SAVE IMAGES FIRST TO UPLOaD THEM? Ok that has to be it then but idk i hope it doesnt explode on people
