Do you mean the error where the browser says "This site isn't working" or something similar and then when you refresh the page (or if it refreshes automatically) it loads the actual site?
Yeah I think error like this was happening to me several times, but I can't reproduce it now so it's probably fixed by joker_josue.

PS
I had to post reply in proper topic that is related with TalkImg, to avoid going off-topic in Ninjatsic topic.

INFO
In the last few hours, there has been some instability in the service. The situation is already being analysed.

We hope that everything will be back to normal as soon as possible.

We apologize for any inconvenience caused.

The point is that the forum proxy disconnects from the server if it does not receive a response after x seconds. I believe the problem occurs if you are loading 100 images from the same host at the same time.
Maybe. I don't know how long the forum tries. But I would have expected the see the "image proxy failed" image instead of .

I will try to see what I can do on my server, to try to minimize this situation.
That's all I can ask for, thanks Smiley

Ddos will often tie up a server with requests on purpose for pointless reasons, letting it drop automatically seems a good idea to limit deliberate misuse.   I dont know the fine detail but I got no doubts on the character endlessly chasing the destruction of what others have built.

  To me its not a maybe just a question of time till someone tests something to destruction, if there's leeway and a vulnerability people will want to use to win the game of knocking over a server for however long they can.

I get that everyday, if hosting a game a never ending supply of random people who want to crash the server as fast as possible because that is the game ?   Got to err on the side of caution surely.


It is easy to test the limits though, I pressed ctrl and click 3 links and it loaded ok after a delay with a few images it was half done.   I think my humble pc wouldnt like all 10 at once tbh.   Its got to be a common problem, Im guilty of wanting to load all at once also and often it has to be limited even by big websites.
   The FT blocked my free account for endlessly using their graphs section, I was surprised Imgur had a problem with this site tbh as its mostly text so why did they even notice; it must have spiked in demand at some time.

The thread all button brings up captcha on this forum I think and if I went to try and load up the entire WO thread for some bizarre reason some stats collate maybe I dont know; I would expect to be in trouble for trying, theres always a limit with reasons.

Ultimately, they are the servers' security mechanisms, to avoid or reduce potential DDOS attacks.
I haven't seen this on other image hosts. It's especially annoying since there's not even a sign there should be a picture. Usually, when there's a lot of images to load, I'd expect not all of them to show up at the same time, but they'd load anyway after a small delay.

Is your server rate limiting Bitcointalk's image proxy? I just opened 10 new tabs with images of last year's Bitcointalk pizza contest, and most of the images didn't show up. And since there are no height/width-tags, I didn't even notice the missing images until I reloaded each post one by one.
I don't have any limitations. Are you talking about this topic?

What did you actually do to get this kind of situation?
I started at this post, and then quickly clicked my middle mouse (opening the link in a new tab) on all 10 usernames. Try it in a private window, to make sure the images aren't cached.

Okay, I understand what happens.

When you click on these ten names, you are not just opening the photos of that user, but all the photos on that page. Which means that you could be requesting the opening of dozens of images at the same time. By adding the 10 windows together, we are probably talking about more than 100 images, in a single request.

Although the server is fast, there is always some delay sending all the data. In turn, the forum proxy, for security reasons, when it takes more than x seconds (now I don't remember what the value is) to receive all the data, it shuts down, ending up no longer displaying images. If you refresh the page, it will reload the page again in a new request and everything will appear again.

I wondered this too, but I guess it's just LoyceV stuff. Just simulating what any average user would do.

I've now scrolled through several pages and everything is fine.

What did you actually do to get this kind of situation? To try to understand if I can do something.

There is an incident code there so I'm not sure if you can check that?

Perhaps the security system has been increased a little, which may make it difficult to upload in this way.
I will send you a PM with an API, so you can try to do this via the API.  Wink

Nah, it was just the mimetype thing. I'll have a look at the API.

FeeBuddy is working well. I use an api. I can help if you need setting up the api. You need an account at talkimg
Your bot inspired mine. I hope you don't mind Smiley

This...this is amazing 🤩. I just noticed this thread, and it's been in front of my face for so long 😭. Mostly just an imgbb guy like lots of others around here.

Thank you!!!!

It's a very motivating tool as an avid user of bitcointalk.org for the last three years now, to continue grinding on my new acc so I can utilize TalkImg.

Some of my older threads pictures went missing with errors.

Looks like it just needed the mimetype added.

OK, so...

Obviously, nothing changed at my end but as I'm using Curl, it's possible that something changed under the covers that I need to account for. But I'm looking at the network traffic for a successful upload and I'm not seeing anything different than what I am doing (but I'm only digging surface level so far).

Successful upload through browser:



I assemble the form like so:

Code:
my $form = WWW::Curl::Form->new();
 $form->formaddfile("$filename",'source', 'image/png'
 );

 $form->formadd('type','file');
 $form->formadd('action','upload');
 $form->formadd('timestamp',time());
 $form->formadd('auth_token',$auth);
 $form->formadd('expiration','');
 $form->formadd('nsfw','0');

$i->setopt( CURLOPT_HTTPPOST(), $form );

But the error I am now getting is:

Code:
{"status_code":500,"error":{"message":"\u2b55\ufe0f Something went wrong \u2022 Incident ID:663132d5a78cf","type":"Chevere\\Throwable\\Exceptions\\ErrorException","time":"2024-04-30T18:05:09+00:00","code":0,"id":"663132d5a78cf"},"status_txt":"Internal Server Error"}

There is an incident code there so I'm not sure if you can check that?

Let me show why I was facing the problem. I discovered that two things have changed which I have been using to upload images from www.talkimg.com. Number one. Whenever I am uploading an image I first click the bbcode/width on the forum tool bar which showing on the image below.

The way TalkImg works has not changed at all. The BBCode code has always been available first in embed codes. If you just copy the image link, then yes, you have to manually add the [img] code. If you copy the entire BBCode code, it already includes the code necessary for the image to appear on the forum.

I remember that from the first day of this project, it was to facilitate the use of images on the forum. Therefore, it is prepared from the beginning so that there is no need to manually write the code [img].

Either way, the situation is clarified.  Wink

Good use of this service by everyone, and any suggestions are welcome.

Last time, you suspected me that I am posting here just to meet my signature quota when you're the one doing that. Lol
Your explanations are not indepth but on the shallow surface. You only check my bbcode and said all is right when I was facing difficulty to upload images on my posts. There are some comments you will  like to make and it needs practical. You can just upload any picture as you did to show the service is okay and probably the way I did my was not properly done then if possible you direct the person how to do it.

But now we don't have to click on the bbcode/width again on the forum and it is already in the link on the website. And you can also see it.
.

And also the second thing I discovered is, before when I was uploading any images from the website, I normally clicked on the send link and not the first link and now it is the first link. And because of all this I came here to find out the issue and you gave me a shallow contribution that didn't solve my problem. Well I am okay now because it has been resolved. Thanks to the Op and PX-Z for there resolution.

I'm getting 500 internal service errors.

Were you using any API?

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

Just Curl in Perl.

Maybe you changed the way the auth token was passed in the first page. I'll take a look at it tomorrow.
