Posts with pic8 links work like this:

If I tap on the icon to open it within poal, it only gives a spinning icon on a slightly larger post preview. Nothing else. If I just go on to the next post and try that one, I get another spinning icon. Usually, if I get five or six going at once, then eventually (30-90 seconds) they will all open at once. Trying to directly open the picture in a new tab usually will time out, although if I go through the process of opening five or six and waiting, then eventually new tabs will open the pictures. Mostly I've started skipping pic 8 posts entirely if I am paying attention.

The times I've tried posting pictures there, all I ever get is a green bar and a message that says "uploading picture." Never anything else. I've tried uploading multiple images, thinking that it behaves the same way - 5 or 6 at once to wake up their server and get the hard drive spinning, but I don't think I've ever succeeded. (Quick check in my history... turns out I succeeded twice 3 months ago.)

Browsers: Brave, Opera, Chrome, Edge

Platforms: Windows 10, Ubuntu 20.04, a couple of Android phones and tablets, and just for kicks a raspberry pi running raspbian and whatever the default browser that uses.

Hard wired, wifi, cell data, at home or work or anywhere else.

Any thoughts on a better hosting service?

Its something with your equipment/internet, pic8 works fine.

Try clearing your browser cache.

equipment/internet

You could be a little more specific.

Or are you suggesting it is a problem with my home internet connection and also my cell connection and also my work internet connection and also all of the browsers and operating systems I am using?

Because really that just leaves apple products, which I do not use, and dial-up which I also do not use.

But if that's what it takes to use pic8, then I will repeat my question about an alternate hosting site.

You most likely use "your phone" to access Poal on all those networks correct? Clear your fucking browser cache on your phone. .

No. Not correct.

My phone only runs android, not windows or Ubuntu or raspbian. That would be pretty cool though.

But, I got my phone, cleared the cache, and tried right now. no change on it, no change on my tablet or desktop machine. No idea if that fixed my work computer.

Maybe if the fanbois of these "imgur sux use this unknown barely working alternative hur dur" sites weren't such insufferable douche nozzles they would gain in popularity and be able to hire a script kiddie like you to handle customer service.
