WOW! This is great news on the adoption of your service on one hand, but on the other hand isn't it very soon to migrate? I hope your project is economically viable for you if you don't find a commercial partner soon, although taking into account these data I dare say that many advertisers will want to advertise with you.

Otherwise, as you said, our community is quite good at supporting this kind of projects, so I hope donations to flow if needed. Please, keep us informed.

I followed your suggestion, and asked theymos about this matter. There's nothing better than having him explain.

Response:

What is not working?
The code you made and is on the print screen is from the website link and not the link to an image. So the code [img] does not work on website links, only on image links.

Why this format don't work?

I inform you that I updated the OP, with some details about the server, accounts and backups.
Thank you for everything.

I tried to test this, but got an error. I tried with a much smaller file, and still get the error:

Fun fact: the largest embedded imgur image on Bitcointalk is 133 MB: https://i.imgur.com/DpbqKUS.gif
I guess it didn't work
Also: about 2000 images are larger than 2.5 MB. @joker_josue: did theymos tell you the exact limit (in bytes)?

Mhh I get errors about image size from time to time.
I was sure the size limit was 2.0 MB, but I was wrong apparently.
When I am back to my cave and I can access my machine, I will send you the exact references.

The only size limitation is the one that already exists in the BitcoinTalk proxy: 2.5MB per image.
Any image that is larger will not be displayed in the forum. So, being this a service for the forum, it is also not possible to upload.
But if it's a specific case, talk to me. I will try to see a solution.

Thanks for the support.

Thank you, @joker_josue.

Thanks to your website and @tryninja script, I managed to save the vast majority of my pictures.
Only a few of them remain unsaved due to size limitations on talkimg.
But I was scared about the loss of the images from my thread, where I invested so much time.

A donation is coming toward your servers. Due to OpSec, allow me some time.

Thanks for your assessment, unfortunately it will be like that, but I will test it anyway as soon as I have API access, I can also contact the developer of Greenshot, maybe there is an easy solution.



Thanks I have already sent you a PM.

Yeah I figured it out eventually how to copy one link but still its not very user friendly, at least not for me. Maybe I am just nitpicking, but these kind of things annoy me and I like to do the things the way I am used to with other web image hosting sites.  

The 2nd click should allow you to copy whatever you want. Or you may click and hold the left button and drag it to the end of the link which you want to copy. I don't see this as a problem. I was able to copy a single link. See the image below;



This is what is called sweet pain.  . I thought images on the forum will be unavailable during the server upgrade. You handled this situation amazingly. Thanks for your service joker_josue

Thanks, that helps a bit.

Another problem I have is when I upload multiple images and want to select only one link, it automatiucally selects all of them. At first i thougght its soemthign wrong with my mouse, but then I tried it with mousepad and its still the same. Due that, I am still forced to upload images one by one instead doing it in bulk.

Send a PM requesting an account, and I'll take care of it.

In that case, I'd like to have an account as well.

(Why don't you have a registration page anyway? )

SITUATION STATUS:
I have the deadline to inform you that the maintenance and upgrade to the server are completed. The site is now fully operational again.
Thank you in advance for your understanding in this process.

I would like to share some information about this whole process.

First of all, notice what happened once the Imgur issues arose:


On the 11th, it had only 354 images uploaded.
Day 12: 739
Day 13: 1216
Day 14: 4376
Being now with more than 5000 images uploaded.

This significant increase, in a short period of time, forced me to migrate to another server sooner than expected. The plan was for the migration to be gradual, over the next few months. But due to this situation, I had to do everything in less than 48 hours. At the same time, I had to do everything possible so that the site remains online and does not compromise the visualization of the images already uploaded in the forum.

This new server, located in Europe, will allow more bandwidth and more space for the free use of images.

As you can calculate, all this had an extra cost that was not planned for now. Although for now everything is assured, I will be very grateful for any contributions you can make. This project, without your support, will be more difficult to continue to grow. This community has always been very good at supporting projects, and I hope the same will happen with this one.

Friends, thank you again for your support and understanding.
Happy uploading of images!!!

Changing the API credentials might not do the trick. TalkImg and Imgur are completely different platforms with their own unique APIs, and they aren't compatible with each other. While I don't have specific experience with the Greenshot application, I can say that their developers have likely designed the plugin to communicate specifically with Imgur's server, so it is unlikely that it will be compatible with TalkImg's API.

Yes, it's definitely impressive that you were able to keep up with such rapid growth. Keep up the good work! 👍

On the main page it clearly says that the server is being updated. So, I think this is done to prevent users from uploading their pictures while the server is being updated. So patience, my friend

Unless you had privileged information, I wasn't expecting this radical change. The idea of the project was progressive growth, not expecting a 5x increase from one day to the next.  

I doubt that any service can withstand a 5x increase in less than 24 hours. I think I even managed to keep everything working minimally despite this.

I'm not complaining, I'm very happy about it.
But, I really had to upgrade the server now, when it was only planned to do so in a few months.




Without a doubt, I will need everyone's support!
When I finish this service upgrade, I'll start looking for more support.

You started TalkImg service in perfect time just when Imgur stopped working like before, so this was expected to happen for me, and I even asked you about this issue few days ago 
I uploaded one image today using TalkImg, wanted to upload three more and I was unable to do it, that is much less than 50 images per IP address.
This is not complain at all, just posting my feedback from today and luckily I can still use other alternatives (for now).

PS
I think you are going to need more donation support for server updates soon, better start accepting bitcoin deals for discrete promotion.

TalkImg is now requesting for my email address to sign before uploading an image. It wasn't like this the last time I used it. What could be the reason for this recent development?
