Topic: TalkImg.com - Image hosting for BitcoinTalk - page 18. (Read 20188 times)

Situation resolved. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

The website is working, without any type of interruption since my last update feedback.
What you are reporting has nothing to do with the functioning of the website, nor when the image is uploaded, but rather the BBCode code within the image page.

An error is actually occurring on the image page, in the embed section, which does not correctly display the code "BBCode full fix HxW". Thank you for the alert, which I will analyze and try to resolve.

But no user said anything wrong. Because when you upload it, everything is fine:


But, when you open the image page, it appears like this:



In short, it is true that there is an error on the image page, but this does not affect the normal functioning of the site. Furthermore, what is normally used to copy the BBCode code is working correctly. When I fix this I will let you know.

Yes, that's why i am able to upload the image and posted here using talkimg, and it can be seen here.

When website is down, it could be your internet connection, your dns settings (which is i encountered before with slow loading to not be able to use the site), or the site is down.

By checking their status page https://talkimg.betteruptime.com/ it looks like the site is facing an issue, so your concern of website uptime is valid.

But did you check the website? Right now the side is down it shows bad when uploading. No image is uploading. Try to check the website so that you will understand what I mean. This morning I discovered that the forum image width was already inserted in the hosting website so you don't have to click the width in the forum anymore but all what you have to do is to copy the link in the hosting website and paste it here and it works. And that was what he has explained to me if he has checked the website.

Because normally we clicked the width from the forum standard tool bars and copied the link from the hosting website and paste it inside the width but now everything is already there. You don't have to check only my post but also check the website before explaining so that you would understand what I mean. Just now I was trying to upload an another image but the website is down to upload image. It's showing ❌ it is working now, probably he was working on the site.

Here's what your post looks like with the img tag wrongly placed. You can check how the image looks like by using the "Preview" button. No need to be annoyed, the guy just want to help you.

With the image you want to post, i see there's a width and height on the img tag with URL, you can do this instead.

It seems you used the wrong BB codes, as I mentioned. I think you might not be familiar with how BB codes work, so I've provided the correct one. Additionally, it isn't necessary to provide or upload an image here to confirm that the website is currently working. However, if you'd like, I can share the latest image I uploaded on TalkIMG to know that I'm telling the truth.

Look:


The code I used.

Looks like you have some anger management issues. Last time, you suspected me that I am posting here just to meet my signature quota when you're the one doing that. Lol

I checked your post history from 26 April 2024, and  I didn't see any uploaded image. So how do I know that you upload an image? As for me you gave wrong information without checking out the complain and you only read my post and check the bbcode and confirmed that all is well when all is not well. You would have done the practical by uploading an image in this your post for everyone to see. Guy, you annoyed me.

After your post I still checked my previous comment to see if it works but it didn't.

Impressive success for Talkimg. You are doing well. Congratulation.

A side question: How much it is costing you per month for maintenance?

 
 Statistics  First Year____________________
Today marks a year since TalkImg was launched. To this day I have to thank all the members of this forum for the support they have given to this project, whether through donations or simply using the service. But how was all this progress? What happens and what are all the numbers for this first year?

At the end of a year, more than 107k images were uploaded, which means more than 30GB of data. More than 30 forum users requested to open an account. Several users use the site on their bots and scripts, others make a backup of all images. Over the course of this year, 5 images that violate NSFW rules were removed. Although it is not possible to have a real calculation of how many times the images were viewed here on the forum, estimates indicate that more than 30,000,000 were viewed. Below is the graph shown in some of these numbers (graphic from image upload):


The first days started timidly, as expected, with some users questioning the reason for creating this service, when there are many other image hosting options. But, without anyone predicting it (not even me), the main reason for me creating TalkImg emerged: one of the most used image hosting sites, decides to block BitcoinTalk - Imgur. This event caused many to start migrating their images to TalkImg.

With the help of TryNinja and its script for migrating images, a real adventure began. Within a few hours, TalkImg began receiving a large number of images, which it had only expected to receive over several months. This forced me to reevaluate the plans I had, and quickly update the server. It took almost 2 days of hard work, so that everything was working optimally until today. See how it all happened here.

Throughout this year, several improvements were made to the service, resulting in a major update to all of the site's software. We have a zip tool, in case the images are larger than allowed here on the forum (2.5MB). At the request of some users, I even created a signature for those who don't have a campaign and want to publicize the project. I thank @theymos for placing a reference to TalkImg on the help page, and for creating a factoid about the project.

The numbers prove the support that users are giving to this project, which I hope will last for many, many years. Don't forget to thank everyone who has made donations (so far 0.05BTC) to ensure the maintenance of TalkImg. I also have to thank the sponsorships I have received, which are another excellent help to support this project.

Thanks again for using TalkImg, and I hope this is just the first year of many!

@Mate2237 Looks like there's something wrong with the BBCode you used. After reading your post, I tried TalkImg.com and uploading some images and copying the BB codes and everything went smoothly without any problems, including the BBCode. Maybe you can try it again or just refresh the page.

I check the bbcode you copy and used those bb codes are invalid.

Here's the correct one:

What is happening to TalkImg.com image Hosting website? I have been trying to upload images but none is displaying here. Is it that I didn't copy the right b code?

If I didn't click the right link, please among the links there which one is the right link to click. Before I normally clicked the second link and upload it here but it is not working again in this evening so please show me which one to click. I have tried all but it is not working. Is it from my end?

Someone should try the service and see if it is working.

 
 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.
