ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted October 11, 2017 Author ArenaNet Staff Share Posted October 11, 2017 I'm happy we have a way to allow images. We've progressed from "absolutely none, ever" to two hosts, and now four. I tend to be a "glass half full" kind of person, anyway, but I'd ask that this not become a "But I want more" or "But I want it *my* way." It is what it is, and progress has been made. Will more be made in the future? Perhaps. But for now, we are where we are and you can have confidence that I will be advocating for more in the future, on the behalf of all of us, if and when it is feasible.

I am grateful to have any ability, and was inquiring about that method, especially since it was present on the old forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All my zillions of saved shots on TinyPic won't cut it here :( > > Glad there will be visuals again, though, I hated clicking to outside links to see pics! Imgur isn't a bad site. I only recently signed up after Photobucket (which I'd been using for over 10 years) finally got so utterly useless even I gave up on it. It actually took me less time to create an account on Imgur, set it up so my pictures aren't public and no one can see them unless I provide a link and upload my first image than it took to upload the same image to my existing Photobucket account. You can also drag and drop to upload multiple images, so you could possibly copy them over in batches. Although I opted for a fresh start - 10 years of every random thing I wanted online was kind of cool for nostalgia but not really useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyShroud.2865 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I am sure many were using tinypic because it was the earlier image host, in other words, the people using tinypic have been using the internet for a very long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot find any justification for keeping the "no image upload allowed" policy for your avatar when you can include any image into any of your posts. Considering you cant delete posts and we couldn't even do thumbnails in the text like on the old forums cause it was "a security threat".... Well I'm sure the answer isn't incompetence. for suuuuuuure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatley.1620 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Late to this new stuff! So avatars are still as is albeit with an extended list of choices? Shame as I'd like my own custom one... Still, this is grand progress and great to see! Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be the /a/ part. Try getting a new code. Sometimes it takes a few tries before it works) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
