I have a sudden inability to post images. Not sure but I don't think I caused it. Anyone else have this problem?
Me too. I donated €20 a few days ago.
It works weird for me too. The most recent uploads are displayed correctly and I was able to post them, but the ones from previous dates don't appear in the post where published (something like 92ld-.jpg) and when I open the image in a tab there is no loading or display.
On the other hand, if I take the URL of an old image, then it is true that I can't paste it into a new post. Here is an example (https://tw.greywool.com/i/92Id-.jpg)
It's a pity because that server for hosting images is very useful for me, I use it a lot when posting and complementing with images...

Today, it is weird for me too like Terco_Viejo described.
There is a temporary solution to add these images into new posts; which is using img tags manually.
Nevermind it is not working... I wonder how my signature gif is still working.

Maybe someone could message J.
Someone messaged me. Apparently the forum had dropped the "Email me on every new reply on this thread plz" thing. I did a change, as far as I can tell it's working fine now. Can others confirm?
Edit:
The host did a PHP update thing on 21st of March, but I did check the twim page itself, didn't check if the posted images were actually showing up here, so that may've been it. Also, this thread has an "Unwatch" button on it, so I'm guessing I'm watching it. Not getting emails about it though. Probably something in the settings
Edit edit:
Okay, couldn't find where to do that without enabling email messages to replies to *every* thread I've ever interacted with. If **** breaks again, please toss a PM and I'll get to it ASAP.

It's working fine again now.
There is no option to receive a notification for every reply in a thread. You will receive a notification for the first new reply, then, you will not receive any further notifications until you visit the thread again. After that, it will again notify you of the next new reply.
Just found this tool, nice one! 11 years on the forums ?
Okay, my host finally started to question the use of TWim.
I have contacted them yesterday with details to what these files are actually for, but no response so far. I'm under the process of backing up all the files, I've already talked to some people who will be able to host these again, presuming things go down the worst path. If that happens, there might be a day or two of downtime while I chuck the images to the new host (and potential DNS change delays), but I will still be doing my best to keep all the images online.

Oh yeah, I should really ask if any one of you is still using this page. I do have the option to disable further uploading and just have it as a repository of all the images posted so far (just so y'alls don't just run into a barrage of 404s on all the threads).
I upload things when I remember to use this and not imgur, which combined with how often I upload images to this forum is maybe... once every 3 to 6 months?
Offering to keep it up as an archive is already far more than I would personally expect - which is 0. I'm sure others will have more valuable input on this than I do, I just wanted to post to say thank you for keeping this up for all these years, whatever you chose to do now

That email from the host seems a bit passive aggressive... 
I'm sorry to say I haven't used Twim in a long time. I loved it, it was my favorite place to upload images for years. These days, though, most of my personal photos automatically upload to Google Photos, and Steam handles my gaming screenshots, so I haven't used Twim the way I used to.

All the images I post on this forum use TWIM. I'm glad to see that you're doing your best to keep it going in some form.
I tried to check activity by checking how many images were uploaded in the last few months, seems like it's around one image a day range. Still enough for me to try to keep up with the effort of hosting and uploads, despite me not having much of an involvement in the whole forum business for years now.
