We don't own or maintain postimage.cc (for those here looking why this is posted in the Site Support Forum here). But the interwebz are filled with everything from they forgot to renew their domain to China hack....!

Hmmm, and this isn't the first time.

It's been a struggle to find the right photo hosting site(s) to use. One thing that I really, really appreciate is when folks resize their photos before they upload them; this saves bandwidth, speeds up downloads, etc. The beauty of Postimg is that it allows you to resize when you upload, so it makes it super-easy for folks that don't want to edit their photos before upload.

Personally, I resize and crop all of my photos on my computer, and then I upload to Imgur.com to host them.

I haven't found another free, no-account-required hosting site that will resize like Postimg does.

To do basic resizing and cropping, the Resizing.app site seems to work well. Go there, scroll down a little, then either drag and drop a photo onto the page or click to search for it. From there, you can crop and then resize; I usually resize by width to 800 pixels.

It will then save the resized photo back to your computer. It won't rotate the photo, so do that before or after if you need to.

I use it ( postimage ) also. It’s been down for at least a day.
I had to make sure this issue was with their site and not something on my end.
I do believe it’s their issue.

Maybe we need to find alternatives. Not sure at this point.
