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.
Only thing I could think of is adding support for uploading WEBP images.
This should be added to the forum's image proxy (@theymos).Quote
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.
They are indeed smaller, which makes conversion to JPEG a waste of data (and quality). Even automatic conversion to supported formats would be acceptable solution.
If you want to make new suggestions, I will be available to analyze them.

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

What I can guarantee is that I will carefully analyze the situation.
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.https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.63922087
What I can guarantee is that I will carefully analyze the situation.
This is more than enough for me, I will quote the topic there so that things are clear to everyone.
my regards
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

And here you will have a more specific answer:
The platform is open to the general public, but was designed to only work on Bitcointalk. What does that mean?
The server is configured with exclusive hotlinks for the forum image proxy. In other words, the image links should only work on the forum. Requests for access to the image from other websites may be blocked by the server, meaning the image will not be displayed.
This does not mean that the images will not be displayed on other sites/forums. But, I cannot guarantee that this will always happen. The system is automatic, and at any time a website can be blocked by the system and no longer be displayed.
In short, although it is discouraged, you can use the images in forums other than Bitcointalk, but I cannot guarantee how long these images will be visible in these other forums.

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...

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.

BTW even if you don't add it directly into the main platform, it be better if there were some kinds of links or option that will re-direct us to the compressor tool, in case someone needs it. All I'm saying a little visibility would be better.
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.
Right now I already have a tool that allows to do this compression: https://zip.talkimg.com/
I don't know yet if in the next major upgrade, I will be able to have it integrated directly into the main platform. But, I will at least give this tool more prominence on the platform, so that it is more easily accessible to everyone.
Oh I see, the main website didn't have any option for this https://zip.talkimg.com/.I don't know yet if in the next major upgrade, I will be able to have it integrated directly into the main platform.

I assume you understand what I was trying to say, and will elaborate further what could be the problems when implementing these changes and if you intend to add them in the future?!

Dear joker_josue
I had a question! Why don't you add a tool like image compressor in talkimg, so that we won't have to scroll through other websites or add a buildin image compressor software that will compress big images automatically if anybody tried to upload images that are more then 3mb?!
I get it, normal images taken from internet aren't that big and most of the time users are using that. But when sharing personal images for example "An image of a Pie" which I made recently for the Bitcointalk pie baking contest, I had a quite headache uploading them to BTT. I had to manually resize every images. And nowadays, an image taken from an smartphone are never less then 3mb.

You can use this on other websites or forums to upload or attach images to your post, but I don't think Joker_josue recommends this from what I know. It's better to stay this here in Bitcointalk because it's designed for this platform.But I've also used this several times on other forums without any issues. It's up to you if you want to use this on other websites.
Then you would have allowed Joker_josue to reply the post and know from there since you are not sure of it. You are not the developer and he has not mentioned in somewhere that we can use it in another website to upload images. We all know that it works in other websites but remember it was because of the misbehaviour of imgur image hosting company that made all the images in Bitcointalk forum to disappear and for him to create this and mainly for here and someone was saying that if we what to use it in another website, we have to ask the developer Joker_josue to approve first before we can use it. And that is why I am asking him and you came here to complete you weekly quota. Men not all discussions are for signature purpose but foe serious discussions.
But @xLays didn't comment anything wrong. That's why it's not worth going down that path.
In recent times, there have been several requests for it to be used on other sites in a more "safe" way. It is something that is on my analysis list, as I have to understand both the impact and other aspects that are currently involved. One of these points is the backup system, which would be complicated to separate the images used between the various platforms. Anyway, it's something for analysis, but for now it's recommended to just use it here on the forum. There are no guarantees of use in other locations.

Wow! This is nice. You are doing well with the project and the new ideas that will make the project work more effective are good ones to insert. But I will also like to know or ask a question. Because I have heard people were discussing about it. And some said yes while some said no. So I want to know if this your image hosting or uploading service is allowed to be use in another website. Because it has been a deliberation among us so I want you to clarify us. Can we use it in another site to up load images?

TalkImg is almost a year old, and it has been a success, and for that I thank everyone. I'm in the final phase of implementing some technical updates, which will probably be released next month.
We recently tried adding the upload via link option, but it didn't work as expected. I don't know if the planned updates correct this functionality, but at least I want you to know that the idea is to continue to grow this project.
This month added another statistical factor: the three uploaded images, which were most viewed. The values are estimated, but I believe it will be another interesting element for the statistics. Hope you like it.
Here are the numbers for the month:
 | Number of uploads in the month: 6 734 (+192 that in the last month) |
 | Total disk space in the month: 2.14GB (+0.18 that in the last month) |
 | Number of visits to the talkimg.com website in the month: 6 546 (+645 that in the last month) Estimated number of times images were viewed on the forum in the month (hits): 3 461 888 (+254k that in the last month) Bandwidth in the month: 606GB (+135 that in the last month) |
