I get the point of the image proxy but its anoying as hell. All my pictures come up and says

Ex:
https://mycryptocoin.us/downloads/bawls-regular.jpg

You're possibly serving html my friend
Hot link blocker?

I think it just randomly does that sometimes. Happened to me a couple of times.

Images must be less than 1.5MB. Resize or compress your image.

This happens to ChartBuddy too... Its images aren't that large.

That image is offline:

Actually check images before complaining about the proxy... If the proxy says that it's an invalid image, then it just might be an invalid image.

Okay I understand what you are saying about resizing my image. BUT Considering how many pictures I have on here. THAT will be a pain in the ASS. Just a thought but couldn't you make it an option?

Consider how much of a pain it is to hit a thread on mobile that wants to load 1.5MB images, or multiple images this size. 20 images like that in a thread is more data to download than Windows 95 installation from CD. Allowing images that size is generous.

This image is 350kB, do you really need more?:

That is why i say have it as an option. Most of my pictures are taken with my phone.

1.5 does really suck, 2.5 would be perfect

This ( http://imgur.com/9MLly1L.png <40k) doesn't show up.

 ???

It's a redirect homie

FTFY ;P

The proxy is supposed to follow redirects at least once. Is that a multiple-redirect?

Eitherway man the proxy thing is annoying...  :-\

OK, I increased it to 2.5.

One thing that messed me up once is right-clicking on a posted image and getting the proxy URL, which tries to proxy the proxy & breaks stuff.
Easier to show than explain:  I'll reight-click & save the (sloth?) pic, and get this: https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F9WbAL.gif&t=535&c=U9ut3HgxwLZ8uw,
which shows up as:
https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2F9WbAL.gif&t=535&c=U9ut3HgxwLZ8uw

*Not a complaint, just a heads-up, etc., etc,

Happened to me too, lol. You can't do anything about it ;P

You can get the url with quote

I am trying to link to an 65kb image in a dropbox but it's not working either:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/fmo3q2gz7k4t7dq/destinia-no-btc-option.png
https://www.dropbox.com/s/fmo3q2gz7k4t7dq/destinia-no-btc-option.png

That isn't a link to the image directly, it brings up a dropbox website with the image showing.  I don't know if you can link an image from dropbox.

You can't get the raw image from that dropbox, it is framed in an html page even though the fake extenstion is png.

That's html dog

Use https://photos-3.dropbox.com/t/0/AABjnPmp-jWgUaLlRErJz2OZEEsbr6vgJfGDltLMFpNVhw/12/241249/png/1024x768/3/1391310000/0/2/destinia-no-btc-option.png/uTXWkW3h0rurlFBqqhslYPghf-zdM5wc1w7VA4iqkwE

Please replace www.dropbox.com with dl.dropboxusercontent.com
to get the direct link to a plain file.

Don't they have to be in a certain format?

It's too big, whether in dimensions or file size.

Here you are:
You need to paste the .jpg url. For example, in your case:

Same problem for http://alpet.me:1280/draw_depth.php :

Wow. It was just exemplary image but I found it very informative and educational. Thanks. Too bad there are no kappabytes :D

This is my tread how can i fix the image problem.

Copy image location

You can't post images yet. You need to wait until you are a junior member

Yes I've saved this image as well, I like it :)

Ah you need to go to the direct image url. No bounces. Imgur makes this doubly confusing...lol

That's not the actual image. Dropbox is weird like that. If you follow the link, you can see that there is not only the image, but HTML with it.

Try using this link - https://photos-5.dropbox.com/t/2/AADxWGNgwWfNYWwpVkEIcTTTTBk0kCrBwdCHFuv-Xc9FzA/12/241249/png/32x32/3/1496804400/0/2/destinia-no-btc-option.png/ELKMMhjN1adpIAIoAg/uTXWkW3h0rurlFBqqhslYPghf-zdM5wc1w7VA4iqkwE?dl=0&size=1600x1200&size_mode=3

I can't insert images, so...

That's not the correct link to the image. Click on it and you get dropbox error message. The user has deleted it.
BTW, I don't think the user is still in need of posting the image here, it was 3 years back !

The best way is to just copy paste the image on imgur and post here easily !

Thanks Guys. I'm finally able to post pics after reading this thread.
It took me a while to find the actual image link so thought I would just add this for people like me.

Hover over the pic at imgur
You get a copy button and a down arrow which has more options
Choose share links
Click the copy button BBCode (Forums)
Past to your post it has the img html tags added.

Hi,

can anyone help me with this:

Until yesterday image was being displayed correctly. Today, it's the 'bitcointalk.org inavlid proxy image' message when the image is 650k and there ar eno redirects (this is the link I'm using: https://bitchord.io/assets/images/BitChord%20One%20Pager.jpg). Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks,

You should wrap the image direct link with this tag

So your image tag code should look like this


The result will be
https://bitchord.io/assets/images/BitChord%20One%20Pager.jpg

Thank you fxstrike. That's exactly what I've done. That's why I don't understand why it worked until yesterday and today it's broken  :(

edit: I copy-pasted your version and it worked! Thank you very much! I had put it all in one line if that makes a difference (like http://link here https://bitchord.io/assets/images/BitChord%20One%20Pager.jpg) Had to break the code as it started showing in this thread as well. So now even my version works. Odd.

Here is the code that you put in one line
your code is wrong that is why it shows the error
you need to remove this part
To make it easy better break the opening and closing tag into 3 lines and put the link in between the tag, once you get familiar how it works then you can use one line.

Sorry, I didn't express myself correctly. I know this code is broken, I broke it on purpose to not have the image display twice on this page. What I meant was that the only difference between the code you gave me and the one I used was that yours was on 3 separate lines and mine was on 1 alone. And when I used both your and my version - they both worked now. Here:

code as you use it:

https://bitchord.io/assets/images/BitChord%20One%20Pager.jpg

code as I use it:

https://bitchord.io/assets/images/BitChord%20One%20Pager.jpg

Both are now being displayed. Including in the original thread that showed the error. So maybe the issue wasn't with the code or image. I am confused.
But very thankful you helped sort it out :)

Glad you have it working now, I remember few days ago there is some problem with image not displaying but its back to normal after one day, probably some CDN problem

idk about it sorry :(

may be because its not really hard to hit to have a large image size downloaded in your server

is it the largest proxy image out there? Means i havent seen such a large image before yet another day

Which server you were using bro? HTTPs or other?

What the hell of image proxy is this? i havent saw it anytime before

Why restrictions for newbie??
