I understand this is by bitcointalk member for bitcointalk. However, for longetivity for my images I'd likely stick to imgur, it ought to have less dependency on single point of failure.

I don't think you understand. The original post was specifically addressing the use of image hosting services for the Bitcointalk. Although Imgur is a well-known image hosting platform, it still entails relying on a single point of failure. How can you ensure the longevity of your images on their service?

Well, because it's popular, been online since years and is not managed by a single individual, this is what I meant by single point of failure. joker_josue manages TalkImg, what about site if something happens to him?

This didn't age well.

- And we're going to have a factoid suggesting the TalkImg website.

+1, this is the only reason that can displace the idea of signature campaign.

I will strongly advise that you message Royse777, to allow you upto 14days to remove sinbad signature and avatar. You have to wear your project's avatar and signature and also launch a free campaign such that people that are not paid currently for signature will help promote your project.
After 14 days you may decide to return to sinbad promotion while leaving the campaign open.

I don't think he must wear a signature to spread awareness of his service. For now, he is not making money from this project. Missing two-week payments from the signature campaign won't be a good idea. He is planning to run this as long as possible. He may invest that signature money into his service to improve it further. Since it's exclusively for forum users, his service will take over all other services in no time. The imgur issue already lets people think about the alternative site, and people already getting in touch with Talkimg.

Moreover, Talkimg already got some support from the forum as well. Theymos added a talkimg link on the help page of the forum. Also, Talkimg is going to have a factoid ad. So, he is already getting free advertisements which may be worth more than a couple of hundred dollars. If the factoid ads run for a long time, we don't know how much it may be worth.

See joker_josue's post here;

I take the opportunity to inform you that theymos was pleased with the project, and gave its support in two ways:
- On the help page, next to the images tag, there is a link to TalkImg.
- And we're going to have a factoid suggesting the TalkImg website.

I would like to thank theymos publicly for their availability and support!

However, the free campaign Idea is not nasty. Whoever wants to help his project might wear the signature of his project.

As long as this project is aimed on forum users only there is no need in additional signature campaign.

Does this imply that signature campaign is almost ineffective for forum only projects? I don't think that this is true.
In the newly launched coinslotty campaign launched by Trofo and Co, there is a bonus system that rewards a particular campaigner whose signature is a gateway for registration and deposit. If signature is not effective in the forum, that bonus system could be tagged as frivolity.

Majority of users who need image hosting is already aware of this project, there are translations to main languages, there are advice of using it when there are questions.

I do not agree that majority are aware. But I know that the project is gaining waves and with the locals translations, but this shouldn't negate any further promotion as signature campaign.

Quote from: jokers10 on May 14, 2023, 04:05:30 AM

Signature will hardly give much more

There is no advertisement means in this forum that is as effective as signature campaign and we shouldn't underrate the power of the views and exposure in the service thread.

Quote from: jokers10 on May 14, 2023, 04:05:30 AM

. If there is a wish of helping the one can add this project to a signature and this will be good, but there's no need to do so mandatory.

It is not suggested to be mandatory as I mentioned it to be free. However, I suggested that the project owner wear the signature for few days to show seriousness. BUT he may also decide not to wear it, it's not bad.
And if a thread is not created and signature and avatar designed, how will a voluntary promoter get the signature to add to their space.
There's no much stress though, I just needed an aggressive promotion of this lovely project employing a genuine means that will cost close to nothing.

Great work Joker_josue!
I have glanced through this thread and bookmarked it to visit later at my leisure. When i discovered that almost all my images hosted on imgbb are broken, i remembered this thread. I am surprised how fast the pages have grown.
My input
I see this as a great project for the forum and especially as it has gotten a decent support from theymos. If you might not have gotten the real picture of this project, but believe me I have seen the future.

Really a cool job @joker_josue
Here I can't access the Imgur site through my local network or broadband connection so I have to change my location using a VPN and then use it. It was a lot of hassle for me so TalkImg.com will be a very useful site for me. here are two general questions I have.

1. Since you bought this domain and hosting server only for two years. In that case if you don't get any kind of donation from this forum for the development of this site then how will you meet the cost of domain renewal and site development.?
2. Since this is an image uploading website, there is a huge amount of images to be stored, so do you have enough server storage to store them safely? And if everyone starts using this site. Then it will require a large dedicated server. What steps do you plan to take to meet that need?

I recently used TalkImg for one of my topics as Imgur was not working. I found it very simple and easy to use. I do not think I would be using Imgur in the future as I am happy with TalkImg.

I would like to suggest a new feature to be added when the the BBcode is generated. Why not ask the user what size of the image is required like we have in Imgur? This will increase user satisfaction. I am not sure whether this has been suggested before. If not, then do consider my suggestion.

Thanks.

Maybe you should some kind of minimal disclaimer warning on website bottom, in addition to TOS page.
Something like Use only on Bitcointalk forum or Bitcointalk only allowed use or Bitcointalk only.

But this information is already in the TOS. Note point two:

Your images dont load correctly for me also.
First I see multiple images start loading and then they are gone and only one is left like this (and I don't use any adblockers on Bitcointalk forum):

I think this situation has already been resolved with the help of theymos.
But I will continue to monitoring the situation.

Can you, @LoyceV or @tryninja or anyone program a script that allow each user to download all the images of each posts on a directory? So that thoseximages are not lost and can be later re-uploaded?

I am not a coder or developer, but other guys you mentioned are welcome to try and fix this.

That's why I say: this service is only to be used on the BitcoinTalk forum. Avoid using it in other places, there is a risk that it will not work or stop working in those places in the future.

Maybe you should some kind of minimal disclaimer warning on website bottom, in addition to TOS page.
Something like Use only on Bitcointalk forum or Bitcointalk only allowed use or Bitcointalk only.

I used talkimg on a post of mine, but the image fails to show up properly. I can see it loading, but it then disappears.

Hi @joker_josue,
I am wearing the signature campaign for publishing your recently launched helpful tools named TalkImg.com. Also recently updated my previous post. You can see that link here: TalkImg.Com

Hi @joker_josue,
Here I give advice to use your website which is the most helpful tool for BitcoinTalk.org users. TalkImg.com will be more than beneficial to all Bitcointalk.org users.

Here is the precious reply of Imgur.

You just select more images when uploading, as simple as that. You can do the same thing with other tools (imgur, postimages) as well.

This is how it looks like on your tool. As you can see, area below is not really big so its not easy to c/p specific link. It would be much better if area is bigger and there is one empty row between links.

It was just to confirm, how a configuration that I'm using was working. Thanks.
This is because I have configured only 1 Upload threads to use the service. And then in browsers that do this individually, they don't accept this type of loading. I'll increase it to 2 so more people can use it.

Regarding the field of links, you can increase. Just use open field here:

It's a long list like this:

They were all in the same folder!? Strange, it is rarely organized like this.
Is this link where you are taking it from, or was it the link being used in the posts?

I guess they're not really in the same directory at imgur's server. It must be a database entry to the actual location, so they can keep the URL as short as possible.
The link I posted is how users post it on Bitcointalk.

@joker_josue, while I was fixing some of my old posts that had missing images, I had an idea. Is it possible to enable the "add image URLs" option, like the one available on ImgBB service? This would make it easier for users who want to migrate their images from Imgur to TalkImg.com on their own, since the images are still available there, but not displayed on the forum.

Uploading multiple images in a row is easy! Simply drag and drop all the images at once or use the "browse from your PC" function to select multiple images in one go. Plus, you'll be able to copy-paste all the BBcode in a single step, making the process even more efficient. Hope that helps!

Cheers, for whatever reason I thought that I can't that with TalkImg.

I just checked it and it works as you said, but the area where links are is kinda small and cramped up and for whatever reason I can't easily copy/paste separate links without accidently copying few or more often all of them.
