Technical Issues, please help

Imgur has caused problems for me right from the start. If I use the mobile app, it usually doesn't upload more than one image. If I try to upload a second one, an error occurs after some time and the image appears as "hidden" in my galery without a thing I could do about it but delete it. I usually work around this by loging in via browser in desktop mode. If I upload this way, I also receive error notifications (though different ones), but the images get uploaded properly nevertheless. 

This time, I wanted to upload 28 images for my custom expansion and started out on my laptop for this special occasion. The first 15 went smoothly, but now imgur says "Something went wrong with CREATE_ALBUM_FAIL. Please try later" and that's that. Mobile doesn't work, Internet Explorer doesn't work, Chrome doesn't work. On top of this, the community on imgur seems to be made of very special people. I created my account with WCDC 1 and don't use it for anything else but custom HS cards. Every one of them gets downvoted to hell, no matter if I tag them as custom HS content or not.

So I tried to look for alternatives and uploaded my stuff to Flickr. That went smoothly and it was even possible to organize the images in an album while still being able to copy indivudal links for all of them, something I couldn't manage with imgur. This time, I wasn't able to post the image in a forum post. I tried the links provided via "share", "embed" and "BBCode". No display in here.

Any ideas how to solve this?

  • Murphy's law helps, of course. 5 minutes after making this post, I was able to upload via imgur again (receiving an error message with each and every one but the first). Please tell me there's an alternative to this clown fiesta nevertheless!

  • Whatever image hosting site you use, you need to insert a direct link to your image. Usually ends with *.png or *.jpg.

    What you usually get by default from those kind of sites are links to said site gallery. If there isnt a way to get the direct url on the site itself, you need to right-click the image in your browser and pick "view image", that should send you to the page with a direct link to your picture, that url you need to use in our text editor when inserting pictures.
