I am glad to give you the good news at the moment, at least, Pixabay is up and is ready for you to look at.
Earlier today I couldn't use Pixabay for images but I came back tonight to see it up and running well. In the meanwhile I had to resort to using another image source but that's okay. I manage to learn as I go that sites go down for maintenance and security updates so it's all good. Just a heads up. Pixabay for not is up and that means you can use an image or two to post on your discussions here at myLot. Remember that all images have to be sited as to their original origins, such as the URL of the image so be sure to add this in the window when you use public domain images to give credit to it's original owner.
If you want to upload your own images, make sure they follow the proper size restrictions and do not overwhelm users by being too large. Your images, if you choose to use them should be about the same pixel size as the ones that are the lowest resolution so they can be easily loaded to users of mobile phones and tablets. Site the creator of each image. Don't upload an image unless you are sure you don't mind being shared on social media because if someone likes a pic you upload to your discussions, they will probably share it with others online.
Below is a link showing the current status of Pixabay online.
Check and see if Pixabay is not working for everyone at the moment, explore its historical availability and outage data.

It is apparently a temporary thing, most likely a maintenance process.
