 TalkImg  1st Year Update: Finished____________________

I inform you that all the heavy work on this update is finished. And despite some setbacks, everything ended up working properly. Since this update is internal only, it should not have affected any bots or other types of resources that you are used to using. However, this does not mean that it is not necessary to restart the bot or resource to resume operation (since the service had been interrupted at times, I could have generated some type of error).


But what was done in this update?
Since the service was launched, no major updates have been made to the software. However, throughout this period, some bugs were detected, which, although they did not directly affect the functioning of the site, had to be corrected. Instead of fixing these bugs (which were not critical), whenever they were detected, we decided to combine everything in a single update. This made it possible not to make many service interruptions over this time, but only once to make all these corrections.

Some of these fixes were as follows:
- Fixed bug with image orientation handling
- Fixed bug in Dashboard stats
- Fixed bug in file size handling [1]
- Update of the administrative dashboard
- Improved encryption
- Improved uploader size limit display and indication for the zipping tool [2]
- Other internal improvements and adjustments

[1] The 2.5MB limitation configuration existing on the forum was not being correctly applied. After an alert from members here on the forum, we had to temporarily accept images larger than 2.5MB (on TalkImg - even with this limitation on the forum). This bug has been fixed, and now you can only upload images up to 2.5MB.

[2] Now, whenever you try to upload an image larger than 2.5MB, it is suggested to use the zip tool to upload it.


What's coming?
There is still a bug that is being worked on and that we hope to have resolved soon. Due to the automatic deletion of image metadata, in some cases - despite being uploaded - the image is larger than 2.5MB, which makes it impossible to use on the forum. We are working to resolve this while maintaining the privacy of our users. Until then, if this happens, we suggest using the zip tool.

We continue to work to integrate the zip tool directly into the main platform. With this update it was possible to start working in more detail on this subject. We hope to have news about this soon.


We will continue to work to improve the platform and the experience for all users.

Thanks again for all your support.



Final note: coming soon i will summarize everything that happened in the last year of TalkImg.

Are you still feeling any slowdowns?
The current maintenance process will not affect the normal operation of the site at this time.

Does the problem occur when entering the site or trying to upload?
Have I cleared my browser cache?

Is the website currently undergoing maintenance right now? The website is so slow to load right now using multiple browser and ISP connections.

I’m experiencing this slow loading few days ago too probably due the upgrades done. Website works perfectly after the slow loading finish. It took more than 3 minutes before it was load. Is this problem available to everyone or just on my side?

I just tested a upload and everything is fine from my end as well. I stopped making backups at the moment because I want to move them to another section within my setup but I still haven't found the time to do it properly...

Since you mentioned me: all I download are your backups (31 GB so far), and that seems to be working just fine (no new backup yet).

Were you using any API?

It's just that at the moment all services are ON.

I'm getting 500 internal service errors.

 
 TalkImg  1st Year Update: Note to Script/API users/devs____________________

Some changes were made, which should not have affected the script, API or robots. Either way, I suggest you check if everything is working.

Any questions, let me know.

The work is almost finished. More information soon.

 
 TalkImg  1st Year Update: Info #3____________________

I inform you that uploads have been reactivated.

But maintenance continues, and it may be necessary to suspend uploads again. If this happens, we will inform you.

Thank you for understanding.

 
 TalkImg  1st Year Update: Info #2____________________

This update is taking a little longer than expected. Once again I apologize for this inconvenience caused!

We are working to return to normal as quickly as possible.

 
 TalkImg  1st Year Update: Info #1____________________

Uploads are temporarily suspended, as several files and databases are being updated. The website may be inaccessible during this period.

The images on the forum continued to function normally.

We will try to be brief.

This should be added to the forum's image proxy (@theymos).

They are indeed smaller, which makes conversion to JPEG a waste of data (and quality).

Only thing I could think of is adding support for uploading WEBP images.
They are getting used more and more and I think they are usually smaller size than JPG and other similar formats.
Even automatic conversion to supported formats would be acceptable solution.

 
 TalkImg  1st Year Update: Started____________________
I inform you that during this week, I will start implementing some technical improvements to the platform. These updates are more back office updates, with the aim of fixing some bugs and improving the platform's security. It will also improve the possibility of implementing new features in the future. Maybe you won't notice any major changes right away, but I hope new things will emerge in the future.

During this process, all images will continue to be available on the forum, and the site will function normally. The site may eventually become unavailable or new uploads suspended from time to time. But, it will be at very specific moments. I will try to inform you in advance if this type of situation is expected to occur. As work progresses, I will provide more information.

If you want to make new suggestions, I will be available to analyze them. 

Thank you for everyone's support!

Thank you, and sorry I did not notice that the topic was discussed several days ago. The issue was raised in the Altcoin forum and I did not know if anyone before me had asked you about this.

This is more than enough for me, I will quote the topic there so that things are clear to everyone.
my regards

This subject has actually been talked about in recent days. Check out how the debate on the topic has been going here:

And here you will have a more specific answer:

What I can guarantee is that I will carefully analyze the situation.

Hello joker_josue
First of all, I would like to thank you again for this wonderful website and the great benefit you have provided to the forum

As you know, there are many members who have moved to another forum, and since we know that you designed this site for the BitcoinTalk forum, therefore, I would like to ask you, on behalf of the members who moved there, to allow us to use your TalkImg in the other forum.

Please let me know your response so I can put it out there
Thank you

Well, if the person simply deletes or changes the information they intended, this issue is resolved.
More options in the existence of BBCode, are not a great necessity.

I don't know if anyone has already asked about this... But is there a possibility of adding an more option for you to define the image height size?

for example, in the image I posted, I would just like the link to come with the height... the rest I think the forum itself adjusts automatically...

I left the image links as code below as an example

Yes it is true. I just didn't do it before, because it was in beta. But even in beta it is efficient and useful. So I will change that soon.
