Actually imgur is the best uploading image. Not many ads and easy to use.
But in my country some ISP block imgur.com, dunno why lol.

imgur works pretty easy and fast if you ask me. It takes me 30 second to upload an image and put the code on the forum

yeah pretty easy to use but in my country that website was blocked

I can recommend Lightshot. Faster than IMGUR Wink

IMHO it would be nice to upload images on this forum in an easier way... Don't you think so?

It should be good, but the only thing is it would take up space on our server. Currently only text is stored on server so hundreds of threads on forum do not eat up much storage. If we start storing images for all those threads, the scenario would be different, but I'm not sure how big an issue it is.

Then why don't you try imgur extension. It only take 1/3rd of the time it is taking for you for me. Smiley

Install dropbox.

Fn + PrntScreen and you have a link on your clipboard to a screenshot of the window you have open or your desktop.

Well, it would actually be more easy to just press an upload button instead going to imgurl, uploading, waiting long to get your link, find out the forum wont let it show.
On the other hand, a little less lazy would help a lot too Tongue

For a long time i don't do a forum but my opinion its no don't add this option, so many factors for don't do it.

1st this use java and java have a lot of vulnerabilities everyone know java its the playground of the IT's

2nd Can open more flags. this mind can left code bad closed (funcions, calls, arrays, sql)

3rd Traffic of the forum increase considerable time of loading and weight of the forum.

4th Malrware, spyware, virus, exploit etc etc. a New world can be possible inside of a Jpeg.


guys use imagesack or similar this made me sleep more happy.



Sorry about my language.

It is better to make an option to upload to imgur or other services within this forum.

imgur works just fine.
Do not be lazy.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say?

I think he was replying to this:

Yes, I mean upload them directly to the forum... Imgur is a nice service but it's a waste of time go on that site and then return to Bitcointalk.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say? Supporting hotlinking through a cdn and building in support for image upload is more work than just using imgur. Also, it creates a third party dependency that we can't control. So if imgur happens to go down (which it has before). Then all images on the server would be down to. If you want to use imgur, you still can.


Also, I need to make a modification on the last post I made. The hotlinking support will no longer keep a copy on the cdn. It'll just stream the image from the original source. I've got that working so far. I just need to move on to image uploading.

The plans are to support both image upload and to support hotlinking. The hotlinking is going to work the same way most other pages handle it (github, facebook). Basically if you upload an image, it'll be stored on our cdn and the BBCode to that link will be supplied to the writer in the post editor. If hotlinking is used, the url will be preserved for the user but the hotlinked image will be moved to our cdn and that cdn url will be displayed to everyone else.

The main reason for this system to provide a secure way to handle images. All images will be validated for exploits along the way to our cdn. This way someone can't just hotlink an image and when the post becomes successful, bait and switch it for someone else. In the end, all images will reside on our cdn.

I hope it goes without saying that the cdn will be on another domain to prevent XSS attacks as well.

The other reason for this is to allow for a better user experience for the user. We don't want the user to go to another site just to link or upload an image.

You mean upload them directly to the forum? What's wrong with just uploading them to imgur?

Yes, I mean upload them directly to the forum... Imgur is a nice service but it's a waste of time go on that site and then return to Bitcointalk.

There are already plugins and extensions to automatically upload/transload pictures, both from the internet and screenshots.

You can use BT++ script for this or just copy the script for uploading from jackjack's script and then paste it in Tampermonkey.




IMO, in the New Forum, theymos can add this feature.

I agree with hilariousandco, that such feature would be unnecesary. However, the imgur API is publicly available, maybe Epochtalk could make use of that.

A waste of time? Takes a minute. I doubt an upload feature will be added here. Seems unnecessary to me.
