ImageShack has been our primary image repository since Fastopia started in 2010. As of Feb 6, 2012 ImageShack now requires that you register in order to upload images.
Since we always have a choice, I've amended the Posting page to allow you to have a choice. The instructions for uploading an image have changed slightly.
First choose which service. You may choose TinyPic, which does not require registration, or continue using ImageShack which now has a registration requirement.
If you choose TinyPic you'll see a screen asking for the Image location and you can browse to it on your computer as you've always done.

If you choose ImageShack you'll see a screen asking for the Image location and you can similarly browse to it and upload. After the upload completes you'll see the registration link requirement. If you choose to register and continue you can select/copy/paste the Forum links as you have in the past.
