Photo Hosting: Discord Viability Ends By 2024

(1/1)

tailrustedtealeaf:
If you've been around some techy spaces, you may have heard that Discord is changing the way it treats files. Rather than have a particular file (say, a photograph) be available permanently at a specific url, it will instead generate a request for a specific file which expires within a few hours. You can view images on the DiscordApp or website perfectly fine, but any external sites that use these urls will not actually display anything unless you're constantly generating and updating these files.

TL;DR / So what?: Any images you have embedded here that are hosted on Discord will NOT be viewable once these changes take effect.

I do not suggest you use Discord as an image host any longer. These changes are not implemented yet, but it's best to update any threads or posts with different hosts.

The list of suggested hosts currently in our Photo Help thread is:

--- Quote ---postimages.org, Tumblr, Flickr, Imgur, Deviantart/Deviantart Stash, imgBB, your own domain!
--- End quote ---

Any additions to this list are appreciated! The original help thread will be adjusted shortly with a new host.  :nerdy:

Time to set up Imgur I think, because I HAVE been using Discord...
