Important update for ImageShare (Patreon)

Hey everyone! This is a quick public service announcement for anyone using ImageShare, my web app for sharing images and videos from low-end and legacy web browsers. ImageShare is still working and not going anywhere, but you may have to access it directly on more browsers moving forward.

I have received a few reports from people unable to load ImageShare on the original Nintendo 3DS and other platforms. I believe all of these reports are due to Google Search dropping support for many old browsers, which some people used for navigating to ImageShare. I can replicate this in Citra emulating the original 3DS web browser—my New 3DS XL can still load Google—and Reddit threads confirm the same issue for browsers like Internet Explorer 5.

ImageShare still works on all the same low-end and legacy web browsers, including the browser on all Nintendo 3DS and Wii U consoles. However, you may need to access it directly by typing http://theimageshare.com in your browser's address bar. If you have a 3DS or other device that can scan QR codes, you can also scan the code on the GitHub repository's main page for quicker access.

If you use ImageShare frequently, you should bookmark it for easy access, instead of using web searches or typing in the URL each time. I have no plans to change that domain or shut off the main web server, but you can also self-host ImageShare if you want.
