Once again, as before, thanks a lot, Alextasha, moonfrost13 and Ck!
Yeah, I've also noticed that Postimage.org can behave a bit strangely when it comes to hotlinking large images.
I would upload an image, hotlink it in a post, then I would see the image just fine, but on another network (say, on a phone on a data connection), it's a broken image. And so, it turns out that everyone else could not see it. But also, sometimes, after a while, it would randomly start to work. *shrug*
But this issue really only happens for images that are very large in file size, usually above 1 MB, or perhaps large in dimensions. For regular images, I've never had issues.
Even so, I still find Postimage.org a much better choice than the other usual alternatives, such as Imgur. Imgur automatically resizes images far too often, sometimes even images that aren't even that large. Also, with Imgur, I would upload an image and notice that the uploaded image was "slightly altered", because the file size is a bit different than the original file size, but visually, the image doesn't look any different, so... why...?
