Why you shouldn't use Imgur

* Eternal. Opens picture in new tab to reveal the host as http://www.imageupload.co.uk/

You got it ;)
Figured you have to make a user on imgur to get the right quality.
But the fact that you have to do that is just... meh.

Good luck, but there are plenty of these already.. Just saying.
You're wasting your time.

Imageupload.co.uk was the first one I found with 0 compression, so I've just stuck with that one.

Yea I think that's why everyone uses it... But that's why I say it isn't good.

In all honesty you wouldn't really pay attention to it, because it is so slight a change.
But I really see it like everywhere, and it's really turning me crazy(I see it a lot!).
They convert and compress it to a jpg if it is a large file. I believe you can turn it off also.

I use puush because I like it.
You should use www.minus.com
It's a really good site.

Isn't puush an instant screenshot program like gyazo and lightshot?
Yea I do believe you can turn it off, but then again... The fact that you have to turn it off everytime is still bad.

if you hit Ctrl + U then you can choose files to upload. It is just really user friendly and works well for me :)

(You can upload a lot of different types of files like PSDs and pdfs etc.)

I don't know about you or everyone else, but "ctrl + u" is a really uncomfortable position for me.
Thanks for the thread, nice job spotting that and letting everyone know.

It is a pretty old thread though.
Don't know why it's getting so much attention now
I use always minus, is very HQ service.
