Can't use Image Shack hosting any more?

Hello!

For some reason I'm not able to insert photos hosted by Image Shack any more. I've used Image Shack for years on this forum and now in the past two days it won't work. I have not changed anything I do, same size (reduced for forums), etc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Can you provide a sample url for testing?

I have the same problem - I use image shack elsewhere in other forums. I wanted to include this small photo at the bottom of my posts and can't do so. I include both urls that image shack generates for this purpose:-

I may have figured out why Image Shack is not working!

I notice that they now have a very vague button at the bottom of the links page that says +Show advanced linking

If you click on this THEN you will get the right code to embed a photo.

I'll try it here:

Yep!! It works!
