Do you think it was a bad choice?
It's good this way. It's still very large. The only alternative would be to add an URL tag to the image, so clicking it shows the full size.

Thanks for the reminder. I totally forget people talked about it about a month ago. Anyway, i just checked the result on other browser and it shows image without any problem. Although the resolution changed from 7680 x 4320 to 3840 x 2160, is it expected behavior?

These are usually very large images, which take up a lot of space. Therefore, this was the method I found most appropriate, reducing the size of the image, so as not to lose too much quality.

I already have everything configured, but even if I didn't, it should be working, since the image link is via the forum proxy.  Undecided
Does it only happen in this post or in others too?
Good point: it works in other posts. Maybe the URL is really just wrong in the other one (but it's hard to check with Bitcointalk's proxy in there).

I don't know if some formats are not supported on Image Zip Tool, or it's some other issue.

For now, JPG, PNG and BMP are possible. Maybe it's the file size.
What error appears? Or did no error/message simply appear?

I appreciate your feedback and your testing. Thanks.
Well done on your efforts to make another useful tool for bitcointalk forum.

I know you said it is still in beta, but after my testing I have to say that it didn't work for me two times when I used JPG images with size of 6mb and second was larger than 9mb.
Third time I decided to try with different format PNG image with size of 5mb and it worked fine.
I don't know if some formats are not supported on Image Zip Tool, or it's some other issue.

Am I going to have to fix all my own image links or is the forum going to do it at some point in the future? I have switched to using talking for new image posting.

I doubt theymos will take any action on old posts because he likely doesn't want to set a precedent of editing users' content on the forum beyond standard forum moderation practices. So it's best to do it yourself. You can automate this process by using this script: [Script] Imgur to TalkImg - automatically fix your broken images

That's right. For the forum administration to correct the situation, you must modify the post links. An approach that I doubt they will take.

It might not even be necessary to touch the posts, and a proxy could be created for this purpose.
However, to do this you would need to host all these images on another server, on TalkImg for example. I was even available to discuss this situation, but this would involve additional costs that would have to be assessed by the entire community.

So, for now, I think the best option is to do the conversion personally, using existing scripts. The more users do this manually, the easier it will be to find a medium-term solution.

I’m surprised this image issue on the forum is still not resolved beyond asking users to find ways to replace all their image links. I’m curious why this is a thing, but I assume it’s that nobody wants to put in the work to fix it without benefitting personally, otherwise it would have been fixed months ago.

Is this because I did not reload the page?
because after uploading the first photo I left the page for a few minutes.
Then I selected NEW UPLOAD and a message appeared that there was no file, even though I selected the file correctly and the error occurred several times.

After I reload the page I can upload again.


This error probably arose because you selected an article and it was not recognized by the system.

Whenever you finish uploading an image, you must click NEW UPLOAD or do F5 (refresh page).

Uploading the first image was no problem and when I did the next upload an error like this.

I've already added ninjastic.space and loyce.club to the whitelist. Now the effect may not be immediate and may take a few hours or days.
I've waited a few days, but it's still not working. Can you check it?

I tested it, but miss the option to delete the image.

I hadn't thought about that (as the objective is not to delete it  Tongue ). Thanks for the suggestion, it will go to the list to add in the next updates.  Wink



5. When i access that link, Tor browser show following error message

Quote
The image "https://talkimg.com/images/2023/09/26/PCjo3.jpeg" cannot be displayed because it contains errors.

Unfortunately, as @LoyceV commented, the experience outside the forum, in the Tor browser, is not the best.

I've already tried to make some adjustments, but unfortunately due to server issues, at the moment I can't improve this situation. I haven't given up yet, I'm trying to improve the situation so that it can be resolved in the future. But without prediction.

Tor browser always shows that error on talkimg, unfortunately. But if you embed the URL, it works:

New Tool
I am pleased to announce a new tool: Image Zip Tool

This tool aims to compress images larger than 2.5MB, so that they can be used on the forum.
Still in the beta phase, I hope for your feedback, to improve it and become a useful tool for everyone.

To access the tool, simply follow the link: https://zip.talkimg.com/

Please note that as it is still in beta, errors may arise and not all images can be converted.

I appreciate your feedback and your testing. Thanks.

@joker_josue: It looks like you've fixed restricting talkimg.com to only Bitcointalk. However, that leads to the (undesired) side effect of images no longer working on text-only archive sites (I'm thinking of ninjastic.space and loyce.club).
Is this the intended behaviour? If not: can you fix it by whitelisting both sites?

Sometimes the "Hotlink Protection" function on the server has a delayed effect. So now it's time to wait. Wink

I use Tor browser and have found I don't "need" to logout as the browser doesn't retain any such information, but asked because I've sometimes had the browser open for multiple days have used the talkimg site early, closed the page, then much later on opened a new window to the talkimg site and found I am still logged in.

Exactly. The session was open in your browser, which in turn automatically logs you in to the website when you open a new browser window. It's all done locally, not on the server.

For the server, each time you enter the website in the same browser session, you log in (if you have not logged out manually). When you restart a new browser session, as you no longer have login data on your computer, you need to log in again. In other words, it is your browser that controls your session on the website.

Is there an auto log out to due X number of minutes/hours of inactivity?

By chance, the site does not have any system of this kind. However, you can configure your browser to automatically delete the generated standard cookie, which is only stored on your machine and is only identified by your browser. If this cookie is deleted from your machine, when you return to the site, you will have to log in again.

I remind you that TalkIng does not use tracking cookies. Only the cookie generated by the browser, based on the phpsessionid function. When it is deleted from the user's computer, a new login is required. EDIT: This cookie only has the function of maintaining login to the website, via the user's browser.

Ordinarily I don't have Tor open for multiple days and always close the browser completely after having logged out of the Forum.

I would recommend a section of sponsors, donations or something like that,  because maybe it will stimulate competition to see who donates the most, as happened to me with another project, and although some people don't care, others like to see themselves on the site if they have made a donation (see for example the donations section of loyce.club, where some donors are listed with their nickname but others were anonymous).

Personally, I don't see a problem with that. If donors want, I can create a dedicated page to gather this information.

Do you want me to create it?

Personally I'd like to see it, and also think it could encourage some donors to donate. Not necessarily to get listed there, but simply by seeing that other prominent members have donated.

At a minimum, I'm curious, and I imagine others are too. Obviously only for those donors who wish to be listed, this goes without saying. Others could be listed as Anonymous.
