I've used Tiny Pic for years. Now all of a sudden, no pictures are uploaded right.
Imgur was also suggested. I can't get that working either.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

Can't wordpress host your pics?

I upload to Tinypic and it says something about file format. These are typical ipad photo .jpgs like I have uploaded for years there.

I believe that is closed now, for the moment. It hosts avatars only, I believe.

From the few clues you gave and a bit of Googlefoo ~ the only conclusion is that the problem lies at TinyPC. Of course you had a problem with imgur so that may not apply. Carnac > out.

I wish I knew more to tell ya. Thanks.
I don't know if it is a iPad problem or user error or what.

TinyPic is non-functional. I tried uploading some images a few weeks ago and got error messages everytime. I wrote a post or two about this in the photobucket threads. I would suggest using https://postimages.org/ . You can set up an account with directories or just upload anonymously (like Tinypic).
I think it's just a matter of time before tinypic goes away. Indeed, I was trying to download some albums from photobucket today and it wasn't working.
It's not you, it's tinypic. This seems to be finally being noticed on the web.

Well, I just tried post images and got "invalid JSON response from server" whatever that is.
I tried a photo taken on the iPad.

While it's possible there is a bug in the software, or that the Ad Code on tinypic is interfering with the upload code (Although, I can't imagine that, if that were the case, it would happen everytime. That seems very unlikely.). I think they have intentionally disabled the site, but have not removed the uploader, so that people will attempt to upload and thus get ads, hence generating revenue. That may be why tinypic is still serving legacy images, but just not allowing any new ones to be uploaded.

Here's the two posts I made after first noticing TinyPic was broken.

I believe the only way to get the proper direct link code is to do it from a computer or at least that is the only way I could figure it out.
I'm using an iPad. Is that the problem?

I believe so I can't get the proper code needed on my iPhone just my desktop.

Well I just went to Imgur.com, not the App, from my iPhone now and was able to select a direct link now?
Now that I think about, seeing the size of the image I posted, it it was the ability to adjust the size of image from phone.

Select (tap, click, whatever) the photo that you want to upload. A window like this should pop up:
As indicated, use the "Direct Link" to obtain a URL suitable for inserting into the forum's "Image URL"; or, you can just select "BBCode (message boards and forums)" which will wrap img tags are around the URL so that it can be directly pasted into a post.
I can't think of any reason why imgur wouldn't work on an iPad.
---
As for http://postimages.org/, I'm also getting the "invalid JSON response from server" error message when I try to upload a photo. This may be a temporary issue, but I question their long term viability without a successful transformation to a subscription based model.
As for tinypic, a Photobucket company, Photobucket is obviously having financial problems or else they would not have resorted to a ransomware business model. I'd be getting photos off both sites while you still can.This message has been edited. Last edited by: rh, August 29, 2017 12:26 AM
