Images require an "approved image host"

[Frisbeeteria]

that concern might be Solved by Mods Monitoring any Images from Twitter if they're Possibly NSFW or not.

As always, we depend on your reports. There are a lot more players than moderators, so one of you is much more likely to run across NSFW content than one of us. This isn't a commercial Help Desk, and we're not 'monitoring' 24/7. Report it if you see it.

[Imperium Anglorum]

Please add Github.

Wikipedia takes its images from commons.wikimedia.org. Will image uploads from that website be allowed?

Unrelated-ish: Will the image host restrictions continue when the new forum and its software becomes operational?

Related-ish: the reason for this restriction has to do with a vulnerability in image files. It has nothing to do with our current or future software. It may not be this particular list, but something will be there to address the vulnerability.

Would Dropbox be allowed? Can it be whitelisted?

Last Question, what is the vulnerabilities found there?

We don't describe vulnerabilities. There are only two reasons for asking: idle curiosity or desire to exploit the vulnerability. Neither is something we wish to encourage.

NationStates.net itself is not an approved image host. Could this be changed or would this fall foul of [violet]'s concept of host-uploader separation?

Maybe, it is so very sad that host-uploader separation might be Happening. i don't like this to happen.

I think not having it is a bad idea, considering that every nation's flag is hosted on NS

That's what I added. Most sites use a different domain for user-posted content. If one of them doesn't work, please let me know.

You may want to add nickpic. I'm not sure how many NSers use it, but it functions a lot like ImgBB with more features.

[Ontorisa]

Any chance you could add randimg.net? It's just a website that cycles images from imgur and stuff like that for RP titles to make them seem more interesting.

No worries if you don't want to or can't.

I can not upload images inspite of using imgur. Care to look into the matter once?

We don't host your images or allow uploads. You upload it to Imgur and link it here. If I've misunderstood your post, you need to describe the process you're using.

That is exactly what I am trying to do. I am downloading an image from the internet, then am uploading the image in imgur and then linking it here(using the image tags). But still, my image is failing to get uploaded, supposedly because they do not allow images apart from those of a 'trusted' image host.

This^

Am I going to have to find a new (worse) host? Or can we please have dropbox on the list?

[Laka Strolistandiler]

Can you also add [url]sun9-41.userapi.com[/url]? VK uses this image host and I use VK to post my images

[Hispinas]

Kindly add IRCCloud to the whitelist please.
I'm paying $5 dollars per month on the subscription just to host images for the forums.

Also add Dropbox as well.

I'm not sure I can add IRCCloud while Discord is banned. It's a question for moderators -- I will raise this with them.

Why was Discord banned?

[Atheara]

Would Imgur be allowed? It's one of the few that i usually use.
Plus, using a different one would be hard for me.
