[Q] Imgbb Not Working as an Image Host?

Postby Saegon » Fri Nov 07, 2025 11:35 am

After Imgur got nuked in the UK, everyone has had to make the transition to new image hosts. Imgbb is supposed to be whitelisted, but I've been tinkering for an hour trying to get the website to accept images from the site, and it won't. It gives the "please use a whitelisted source" error message. Is Imgbb gone now too?

I had this issue recently trying to link imgbb as well. The fix I found was clicking on "view image in new tab", which gives you an "i.ibb.co" link which ends in .png/.jpeg/etc., and it seems that NS accepts that. It didn't accept the imgbb.co link though.

Edit: Nevermind. That seems to have broken as well.

Postimg.cc is having the same problem.

We know this already, that's why we're using a whitelisted site. It's still not working.

I haven't been able to post any image from multiple of the 'approved' sources. This was quite frustrating with a World Cup 100 qualifying deadline to meet in NS Sports.

Must be a bug with the site right now, I'm sure Mods will take a look once they get to see this.

You are such a crybaby [...] all you do is lock threads and be a bitch to people, nobody likes you, you aren’t cool, you lock every thread for stupid reasons, often times not giving a reason, [...] all you do is sit on your computer all day on NationStates, locking threads at a rate 5x higher than any other mod [...] stop trying so hard to impress people, literally nobody like you.
Have a good day

Broke due to another fix. Reverted the other "fix" for now, should work again.
