    Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but are we going to talk about how postimg images are mostly all coming up 404 not found? It's getting so bad that the majority of posts are blue images now. Should we suggest a different image host to posters?

    Everyone's still using postimg and about one in four images on the first page have been pulled. The recent ones still up just haven't been reported yet.

    Until (very) recently the "Add Post" form only allowed Postimg and Imgur links, and would reject anything else, so blog posters really had no good option--both of those sites respond to takedown requests.

    Now there is the option to use Bunkr as an image host, and the "Add Post" form advertises this. Bunkr ignores takedown requests, so they should be the image hoster of choice from now on.

    You know, there is one good thing about 3Djerk reporting all images. He has less time to publish his stolen assets and as such makes less profit XD He is hurting himself

    I assume one of the administrators could tweak the templates to add the 'referrerpolicy="no-referrer"' attribute to the 'img' tag.
    It works like the 'rel="rel noopener noreferrer"' attribute for the 'a' tag. So one may link to a random URL hosting an image as long as the hoster doesn't require a referrer to be set. Vendors seem to deliver images also when no referer is set and they will likely not delete them.

    I'm not sure whether the currently used images hosters require the referer header - this setting could break the currently embedded images.

    Not sure if this has been discussed before and has been rejected in the past for other good reasons.

    Not really magic. The same way one can place a link on a HTML page and make sure that no one can locate from which page it has been clicked one can embed images.
    In those cases the browser behaves like one has entered the URL manually in the address bar.

    Each user can look at the source code and figure out where the image hosted. But the image hoster doesn't see on which domain/page the image is displayed.
    The same applies to 'a' links which is implemented here at least for downloads - each user sees the destination URL. But the owner of the destination page (eg https://blender-universe.cx/fancy-item.html) will never figure out where the user found the link.

    One could also set a global 'Referrer-Policy: same-origin'. Again with the risk that some image hosts do no longer deliver the image as the referrer is omitted.
    docs: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Referrer-Policy

    Looking at the link here - it only contains 'rel="nofollow"' so mozilla.org still might use Javascript to figure out who linked to them. noopener should really be added as a default.

    Well, I think https://imgbb.com/ is a good alternative...
    Try this... (HTML Full linkend option)
