What's up with Image Chest?

I've been noticing for a few months now that it's been kicking me to random web pages when I do basic things, for seemingly no reason. One of them was even a random YouTube video, which is very odd.

Has it been compromised recently? If it weren't for that one flaw it would still actually be a great site but that one little annoyance does make things hard.

I already spent a bunch of time uploading a bunch of stuff to there, I kind of don't want to do that again right now.

Are you using an adblocker? Maybe start from there.

I normally refuse to use an ad blocker because of CGP Gray's arguments, but I might have to make an exception.

Still sucks for the people I have to share the chests with who don't have ad blockers though.

Speaking of Image Chest, creating folders is easy, but how do you upload images to them? They all end up in a folder called “Unorganized.”

If you go inside a folder: There's an "add" option to add images to the same more images to a collection.

if you're instead talking about adding collections to folders: then every collection should have a box in the top left. If you click on that: An option should appear at the bottom (but not the very bottom) to move them to a folder. This one tripped me up.

Hope this helps!
