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!!!

I have always used Greenshot for screenshots and the Imgur function contained in it, in the attachment I have the code for the Imgur Api, do you also have an Api address for your service, so I could change the API address for Greenshot and continue to use the Greenshot programme.

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.

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.

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

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?

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 Wink

SERVER UPDATE: We are finalizing the server migration process. Uploads will pause for the next few hours. The images will continue to appear normally in the forum. Thank you for understanding.

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 Wink

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. Roll Eyes

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. Cool

But, I really had to upgrade the server now, when it was only planned to do so in a few months.

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

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

Because of the changes that have occurred recently with the Imgur service, there has been a significant increase in TalkImg usage. As you can guess, I had anticipated a gradual increase in usage, not a sudden increase like it has been these past few days. This forced us to readjust plans and move forward with updates to the server earlier than expected.

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).

SITUATION STATUS:
I'm on the final face of the server upgrade process. I will now start migrating data to the new server.
To ensure that no images are lost during this process, uploads will be paused.

In this sense, during the next few hours, it will not be possible to make new uploads. But, the images continued to function normally in the forum. There will be no problems displaying the images.

Once again, thank you for your understanding. Soon everything will be back to normal.

Thanks for this great service, after the imgurl broke a service like this is a need, so, you come in the right time to save our life.

I see you add a donation addy on the site, and that's nice, for sure a lot of people will support a nice service like this, but why you don't put an ads section and rent it, for sure a lot of people would like to use your service to promote their sites. Even normal users would be happy to pay for some ads to get affiliates.

Again congrats for such a great service.

You can ask for an account, which then has access to an API, but the configuration of the application is your responsibility.

Thanks, I have to ask you here about an account? Anyway, I didn't find a registration option on the site. There is no public API to test the settings, but if I get an account I would like to test the settings, thanks. If it's not too much trouble for you.

Dude, you are my savior! After Imgur closed, I was left with an open need to upload thousands of images every year.

Code:

; What file type to use for uploading
UploadFormat=png
; JPEG file save quality in %.
UploadJpegQuality=80
; Reduce color amount of the uploaded image to 256
UploadReduceColors=False
; Copy the link, which one is controlled by the UsePageLink, on the clipboard
CopyLinkToClipboard=True
; Use pagelink instead of direct link on the clipboard
UsePageLink=False
; Use anonymous access to Imgur
AnonymousAccess=True
; Is the title passed on to Imgur
AddTitle=False
; Is the filename passed on to Imgur
AddFilename=False
; Filename for the Imgur upload
FilenamePattern=${capturetime:d"yyyyMMdd-HHmm"}
; Imgur upload history (ImgurUploadHistory.hash=deleteHash)

Thank you for help and your upload service

I have for the past 24 hours made every effort to keep everything up and running. And luckily, I've been able to keep everything up and running. Thank you for all the support and understanding you have given me.

The upgrade process is not over yet, as a new server is being set up for the ImgTalk project. While this process takes place and in order to keep the service online, I inform you that you can upload images, but to maintain stability, each IP can only upload 50 images per hour.

Over the next few hours, I'll be updating the process.
Once again I ask for everyone's understanding, in helping to keep everything working.

INFORMATION
Due to the significant increase in the use of the service (for reasons that we already know), I inform you that I am carrying out server maintenance to better respond to this demand.

In this sense, during the next few hours, there may be some disturbances in the upload of images.
The remaining use of the site is assured and therefore you will continue to see the images in the forum, as is normal.

Thank you for your understanding, hopefully as soon as possible. As soon as I have news I will let you know.

Thank you for the update.
I discovered this service today and I used it twice today and I was trying to use it for the 3rd time but I keep getting error feedback. I thought it was the size of the image. I tried to resize but to no avail. I had to come here to check for update.
Hopefully the service will be back soon.

You made the wonderful service to the forum mate.It's essential one for the current situation.I had think after the maintenance work was over, the site will be more efficient one as compared to now. Anyway, good initiative from you JJ

Instant cryptocurrency exchange with own reserves!

joker_josue, Be honest, please. Aren't you amazed by the community support? I mean, everyone is trying your project and trying to contribute in their own way. I am not a technical guy, and I don't know coding. An Average Joe can't contribute to such a project. I am amazed at how quickly this community adapted to your project and how people are trying to help to improve it further.

The Forum admin helped to add the website to the forum and reserved a factoid ad Link
TryNinja made a script o automatically fix all Imgur images with TalkImg - Link
TryNinja Developed a script to add a button that instantly uploads an image directly from the forum. Link
LoyceV Downloading around 800K images and want to host them on Talkimg if possible Link

A lot of others helped with translation, testing and suggestions! I am genuinely amazed!

I just used Talking.com to upload an image and the process went smoothly. joker_josue thanks you for this wonderful project to overcome imgur misbehaviour. Nobody was expecting imgur company or website to malfunction the way they did and you quickly go into action and brought out this wonderful project. What I will say is that the different links in the talkimg site after when the images have been uploaded are confusing person. Like I always tried all before I got the right link to upload the pictures. Once again thank you.

We have it on factoid which indicates that we are making a good progress.

The background of that idea is that if anyone is forgetting "what was that website's name", he can look quickly for it in the "More" area.
...It should help for the new posts.
