You've Been Warned !!!!!!

Ha, swap your cloudflare dns to something else.

You’re almost there. You kind of just pointed to the folder your picture is in. If you go one level deeper then do the same thing you’re pointing to the actual picture.

It must end in .jpg to work.

Thanks

What 24 is that

Not crazy about imgur but cloudflare is happy...

Where's the rest of his quartet?

This is what our yard looked like when we were teenagers.

That's Cloudflare looking after us....

Tell me where I am wrong. Nothing has changed within postimages. Whether with or without the blessing of pi, Cloudflare has inserted itself between pi and its users.

Cf is an image hosting site, that is, a competitor of postimages. Cf wants to sell you something. One can bypass Cf and use pi as in the past.

....and you haven't had enough birthdays to understand common sense.

Not giving "tech advice", I'm simply saying there are much easier ways to accomplish the same task.
The problem isn't with the site users, it's with the site itself and whoever (whomever?) built or maintains the site either can't or isn't capable (OR WON'T!) of making the necessary changes to simplify the photo posting process!
I visit 4 other sites, and belonged to a 5th, that make posting photos easy peasy! Three or four clicks and you never have to leave the site!

Said it before...and I'll say it again!

"There is nothing so simple that can't be made more difficult!"

Hehehe. Good one. Like

Had a imgur account way back, found credentials buried in old job email. Slower but it works.

Dammit! I wish I'd thought to trim up a cute pair of lacy panties when all that crap was going on.

He can take a fall.
Walked that shltt right-off

(1) "Whether with or without the blessing of pi, Cloudflare has inserted itself between pi and its users." - Cloudflare can't insert itself between pi and its users without pi's blessing (postimages would have to contract with Cloudflare to use Cloudflare's services)

(2) "Cf is an image hosting site" - nope

(3) "Cf is ... a competitor of postimages" - nope. Cloudflare is a company that offers computer network security services.

(4) "Cf wants to sell you something" - not normally to end users; Cloudflare's array of services are aimed at companies, enterprises, websites, companies / people running websites, etc. However, an end user (an individual) can use Cloudflare's DNS server services for FREE. It's a free service that Cloudflare offers to individuals and households (families).

[A DNS (Domain Name System) server is a computer that matches website hostnames to their corresponding IP addresses. It contains a database of public IP addresses and their corresponding domain names, acting like a phonebook for the internet.]

(5) "One can bypass Cf and use pi as in the past" - not if postimages is using Cloudflare's security services for the postimages website


Now, I'm NOT an expert in how Cloudflare actually operates and how all of its offered services work (in detail). However, I was an IT Systems Administrator for a law firm for 26 years until I retired in 2018. I think my explanation above at least provides an overview.

What is 1.1.1.1?

1.1.1.1 is a public DNS resolver operated by Cloudflare that offers a fast and private way to browse the Internet. Unlike most DNS resolvers, 1.1.1.1 does not sell user data to advertisers. In addition, 1.1.1.1 has been measured to be the fastest DNS resolver available.

Why use 1.1.1.1 instead of an ISP’s resolver?

The main reasons to switch to a third-party DNS resolver are to improve security and gain faster performance.

On the security side, ISPs do not always use strong encryption on their DNS or support the DNSSEC security protocol, making their DNS queries vulnerable to data breaches and exposing users to threats like on-path attacks. In addition, ISPs often use DNS records to track their users’ activity and behavior.

On the performance side, ISP’s DNS resolvers can be slow, and may become overloaded by heavy usage. If there is enough traffic on the network, an ISP’s resolver could stop answering requests altogether. In some cases, attackers deliberately overload an ISP’s recursors, resulting in a denial-of-service.

My test results using Cloudflare's DNS servers on my personal laptop:

Please continue. What's the end result. What does that mean? We better not use PI anymore and we better us Imgur?

You think the same ones that are seeing the PI 403 are not seeing the popup ads here?
