    That sucks. Expect a lot of broken or lost forum content :( User guides, announcement/event posts, latest accomplishment moments, memes and memories. It's Photobucket/Tinypic/Imageshack all over again.

    Imgur...

    Isn’t the save bet to upload to the forum directly or does that have any drawbacks too?

    One might have thought Imgur would have outlasted the Royals forum, but apparently not! Not long ago images uploaded directly to the forum couldn't be viewed unless you were logged in, which one could argue was a drawback, but it looks like that's been changed, so guests and prospective players can view all the beautiful posts now :)

    Size limitation I guess

    Forum attachments have a max limit of 1 MB
    This probably only poses an issue for those that are unsure of how to resize or convert images (PNG to JPG)

    Man.. I actually saved backups of all my guide images years ago knowing they'd be broken eventually. I really don't want to have to reupload hundreds of images just to do this though. Lol..
