If you haven't voted yet, cast your vote now, before the deadline.

BUMP

Voting closes in a few hours, make your choices now!

I'm surprised that even the voting takes a month we only received minimal support or votes in that contest. You can count the number of votes on your fingers. In comparison with pie contest, the pie contest received a lot of attention because it was supported by the forum. You can see it in the announcement column on BitcoinTalk. I'm not sure if the TalkIMG contest was also visible there. Perhaps the pie contest had better prizes but when it comes to joining it was easier to participate in the TalkIMG contest compared to the Pie Contest. Anyway, still a successful contest.

Probably because it's not shown in the News, unlike with Pie Baking Contest that got there which lead to more clicks since people are likely to get into it than this one. There's going to be more of this contest anyway, it's the first one right? So I don't think that it's a bad thing, it's good that this finally started, it will only be up to the organizers and sponsors how they would handle the next one. Well duh, it's definitely easier to join this one because there's baking and some labor involved there wherein this contest, you only just need to take a picture or even take a picture on the Internet to join and that's it but that don't mean that this contest is any lesser than that of any other contest here.

I think I have found a bug in the image uploading tool.

When you upload an animated GIF to Talkimg, it is converted into a PNG file, so the GIFs get frozen into their first frame.

This never happened with Imgur, for example.

Any chance that this gets fixed? I don't think it's that hard actually - just use a library to check if the GIF has animated frames, and only if it doesn't, then convert it to a PNG.

You're talking about the zip tool, right? - https://zip.talkimg.com/
It really doesn't make sense for him to convert GIFs to another format. Thanks for the alert, I will look into this to try to improve.


EDIT:
If you are talking at the time of upload, it would look like this:


Don't worry, the image remains as a gif:

Talkimg is down here on my side for a few hours already...
Anyone noticied it?

I just checked it out, working perfectly normal here. And it was working normally earlier today (making the local board overview) with no issues whatsoever.

It worked perfectly fine for me whenever I uploaded gif images, and I didn't notice any bug with TalkImg website.
Here is one quick example with small gif image:

Talkimg is down here on my side for a few hours already...
Anyone noticied it?

No issues on my side, and I just uploaded image above as confirmation for that.
This is probably some issue with your browser or network settings.

Still having the same problem?
According to the service driver, the last downtime was in February and lasted 2 minutes.

Maybe it could have been a momentary lapse in internet connection and now everything is normal.

Try clearing the cache and cookies files related to TalkImg. Try using another browser to see if the situation persists.

Well, I don't know if I'll be able to help much. But something, tell me.

Tried many browser, doesnt work. Even in other devices. Tried 2 laptops and on my phone. Somehow, it only works on my 4G connection.

Do you only feel this on TalkIng or other sites too? 

Try restarting the router, sometimes the router may have an error and cause this problem. Disconnect directly from the electrical current, and wait around 60-90 seconds until it is reconnected. Do not turn off the button, rather disconnect it directly from the electrical current. After disconnecting from the power supply, you can turn off the button.

Only in talkimg. Still down... I don`t know what is happening :/

Maybe your IP address has been banned for some reason, this happened to me before on other websites.
For testing purposes you can try to access TalkImg website using Tor browser (new identities) or with vpn like mullvad.

It may happen. Although I have looked at the server logs and I don't see any recent blocks. It could be a blockage on another level, one that goes beyond my powers.
But, as you certainly have a dynamic IP, restarting the router may help. Try checking.

 Statistics  February 2024____________________
Already finished TalkImg Awards - Image of the Year 2023. Although the turnout was not massive, it ended up being an interesting experience and testing this awards model. After these awards, I had ideas about making others that could perhaps capture even more attention from the community. Once again I would like to thank everyone who participated, directly or indirectly, in these first TalkImg awards, as well as the sponsors: BC.Game and Icarus.

I am still preparing some technical updates that will be implemented soon. As news emerges, I will share. Thank you to all TalkImg users.


Here are the numbers for the month:

	Number of uploads in the month:  6 542 (-1.854 that in the last month)

Nice formatting buddy. Do you mind if I use similar theme in some of my topics in the future?

By the way, happy to see talkimg is growing faster than any other project did in this community. Congratulations!

 Number of visits to the talkimg.com website in the month: 5.901 _{(+502 that in the last month)}

Is this 5.901K or 590.1K visitors?

I'm glad you liked it.
For me, feel free to use the formatting.

These are visits directly to the talkimg.com website. There are only 5901, but it is a number that has been increasing, which is good.

You may have to change the formation of the number, which can be misleading.

I prefer ShareX.

If anyone else is using it, you can use TalkImg as the upload destination:

1. Copy the code below.
2. Destination -> custom -> Import from clipboard -> Put your API key where it says "API-KEY-HERE"

Code:

{
  "Version": "15.0.0",
  "Name": "TalkImg",
  "DestinationType": "ImageUploader",
  "RequestMethod": "POST",
  "RequestURL": "https://talkimg.com/api/1/upload",
  "Headers": {
    "X-API-Key": "API-KEY-HERE"
  },
  "Body": "MultipartFormData",
  "Arguments": {
    "type": "file",
    "format": "json",
    "description": "Uploaded by ShareX"
  },
  "FileFormName": "source",
  "URL": "{json:image.url}",
  "DeletionURL": "{json:image.delete_url}",
  "ErrorMessage": "{json:error.message}"
}

Did you have any recent problem with this code @TryNinja? I have been trying to upload the pictures from the Pie contest but all I am getting is "Invalid response content is returned from host (talkimg.com), expected response content is JSON."

I'm still able to access the website, so I suppose that this has something to do with the code?
