Maybe this has been answered before but sorry I am in a rush and I need answers. How can I view or restore my old postimage links. i thought postimages was stable and versatile. But when i open the links I cannot view the immages.
For example I sent links to myself on the PM feature(to send images from my phone to computer), not embedding images, just raw direct link. But now when i click on the PI site, the pictyre would not load.

for some of them im getting a 504 gate timeout

Sounds like the site had a problem with a server, so it could just be temporary.

 It is temporary. Not the first time. Happens every now and then.

I wonder if the first post of the thread should contain a warning about Facebook. You can host photos there, but they shuffle the URLs constantly, so you're going to get a couple of weeks of use out of it. Maybe that's enough in some instances, but not if you want a post to be useful in the longer term.
In the kingdom of the blind, better take public transit. Well, in the kingdom of the sighted, too, really--almost everyone is a terrible driver.

Have you noticed anyone still using Facebook to host images on the forum recently? If so, then yeah, we should probably mention it.

Well, to be fair I'm not sure where they were hosted, but I have seen some recently posted photos with dead URLs.
