Does Sig Pic have to be on IMGUR or is another image hosting site ok?

Can I create an account without using a phone number?
Phone verification is required for all accounts created on desktop. It is currently not required when using a third party account to register on our mobile apps.

My avatar, hosted on Flickr, disappeared recently after years of working.

Now my profile says it is not an approved image hosting site.

Is there a list of approved hosting sites? I looked on the Guidelines/FAQ but did not see one.

It says Flicker is an approved site.

My avatar is hosted on Flickr, yet it suddenly no longer appears and is marked as coming from an unapproved site.
