Forum itself needs to enable image uploading feature so that we will not depend on any third party before we can upload image and also that there will not be any issue like thus that we should fix anything.
Certainly not this current forum software, as far as I Know. Maybe if we migrate to a new forum software that is being worked on for years.

The problem is not in the software. This feature was never active, so that the administration would not have to manage an image bank, nor would it have to deal with possible legal issues with that bank.

How about the mobile users is there any chance to enable developer tools?
I don't think this is possible

Or are there any mobile/website tools to scan all my posts with broken image links?
My plan is to find all my posts with broken images instead of using the script to automate everything I'd like to manually reupload them.
Wouldn't that take ages?



I haven't yet updated mine too, maybe will do it over this week.

The initiative is good, especially to try to motivate active users. Unfortunately, many of the topics that have this problem are also from users who are not active.

Alternatively, someone can re create such useful threads and fix the broken links.

The idea of replicating the posts may be interesting, but this can generate some confusion and problems such as possible plagiarism arguments.

Good idea!

Would like to mention @1miau - while I know you've already updated most of the threads, I stumbled across a thread that couldn't be more appropriate at this point in time.
I am referring to the "So wählt ihr die passende Gebühr für Bitcoin-Transaktionen" thread, which is about determining the right transaction fees considering the mempool.

I will keep this thread in mind and will gradually tag people when I come across their helpful threads with broken image links.

What about this legendary member Rath_ for his helpful posts on lightning network.

Though from his explanation it seems very simple to fix broken images and one most not go one by follow to update their broken images due to his explanations. My concern is about those accounts that are ban, which already has some post with broken images is there a way to fix their broken images.

We had thousands of broken image links after Imgur stopped working on the forum. Many users have replaced their old links and migrated to other services, like TalkImg. But there are still many images to fix. I didn't do anything with my old Imgur images until two days ago when I decided to try TryNinja's Imgur to TalkImg script. Everything has been corrected now.

Well, I partially agree with your suggestion of fixing it "manually". I wish to have it fixed automatically. Although we have been waiting for theymos to take some action, it looks like 'Do Nothing' has been selected, which I also agree with.

Tagging someone and requesting them to fix the broken images is a good idea, but it would be better if we tag and share the link to the particular post/topic that has broken images.

For example, I want @Hamza2424 to fix the broken images in the posts https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.61568821.

That's why I love TryNinja's "Single Topic" version.

This is the simplest and fastest solution to broken images. It will not update any of your old posts that you don't want to be touched. It will stay on a single page, and only the posts on that particular page will be updated.

"Single Topic" version

Get the code here: https://gist.github.com/ninjastic/59bde80306c32153a5775b9a570b16b7

Run it on any topic and all images posted by you will be updated.

IMPORTANT: only images that are shown on the screen! This means that if you are on page 1, the script won't update the images on page 2. You can use the ;all page on the forum to make all posts show up all at once (probably won't work properly if the topic is huge?).

The user was last active four months ago and posted last almost 8 months ago, a tag will not draw their attention.

Alternatively, someone can re create such useful threads and fix the broken links.

Because it's so easy to use and fully automated, I figured I should create this thread that we can use to tag active Bitcointalk members we find who still have broken Imgur images in their posts. It will help to clean up the forum and make it look better. Most users use a notifications bot nowadays, so a simple @username should do the trick and make them aware of this topic.

TryNinja explains how to work with the script here: [Script] Imgur to TalkImg - automatically fix your broken images. Please read it.
You will find the code for the script in his OP, but here it is again for reference: https://gist.github.com/ninjastic/36c14fb2eb1c4b750f40f332d408688f
Always verify and compare the provided link above to see if it's the same as in TryNinja's topic before you use it!


Simple how-to guide:
The code goes through your entire post history, finds Imgur links, uploads the images to TalkImg, and edits your posts with the new links.
The script doesn't require your forum login data, and you don't have to edit the code in any way (unless you want to) for it to work.
Modifying the code to fix images from other image hosts is possible if needed. In my example, I had some pictures on vgy.me that were deleted.  

1. Copy the codebase from the official gist.github link. The link is provided above.
2. Open any Bitcointalk forum page.
3. Click F12 or right-click with your mouse and select 'Inspect' to open the Developer Tools window.
4. Click on the 'Console' tab, which you can find between 'Elements' and 'Sources'.
5. Paste the code from gist.github and click enter.
6. Let it work until it reaches 100%. Don't use the forum for browsing and posting during the image upload process to avoid issues.


If you have questions or run into problems, please post them in TryNinja's topic > [Script] Imgur to TalkImg - automatically fix your broken images.  

Please don't PM users and bother them about their broken image links. You never know if someone might react negatively and report you for PM spam for whatever reason. Just mention their username and tag them here; if they want, they will respond. If not, give it up and don't bother them anymore.

Use any message you want. Here is an example that I will start with.
