How do you use Scratch as an Image Host?

I know its possible, but idk how.
(Also side question, I went to uploads.scratch.mit.edu and it said something was wrong and the ST was alerted, will I get a warning for trying to see what was on there? Also, why and how is cdn2 inaccessible?)

No, you will not get a warning, everything over here is run by uploads, and scratch started using uploads for images instead of cdn2 now

right click and copy image address

Here's a great tutorial made by LegoManiac04, it explains it well.

Basically, you must bookmark World_Languages thumbnail bookmarklet (if you don't have it, put this code in a bookmark)

javascript:x=document.createElement("script");x.src="//is.gd/thumb2"; void document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0].appendChild(x);

Then, click it on a project page, and upload an image. Then, go to your my stuff folder. Click the project with the thumbnail, and select “copy image address”. Paste the image address into a value bar, and copy the numbers in the URL. Then, open a new tab and type this:

https://cdn2.scratch.mit.edu/get_image/project/<NUMBERS GO HERE>_800x640.png

Then, delete the text that says “<NUMBERS GO HERE>” and paste your numbers. Then, you have a hosted image!

use that, they made it uploads so you cannot host images anymore from cdn2 if you do right click and copy image address
