TalkImg.com - Image hosting for BitcoinTalk

Super easy to use! well done.

How do you create an account there? there's a sign-in link only.

How do you create an account there? there's a sign-in link only.

Learning to read the first posts in the threads It has all been written there for a long time that if you want to have an account on the site, you have to submit a request to the owner of the service, and he will decide whether you can register or not.

- It is only possible to have an account on the site if requested by the user and after analysis.

But a new upload of the image, as a guest, and it already appears:

https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/12/opecf97c8726aa1bd95.png

I suggest you upload the image again.

Thank you. I tried to upload it again and the first time it worked. Later when I tried to reload the page the header image was loading. But the other image which was middle of the thread was loading and disappearing. That If one is working other is not. Don't sure if it's my network issue. But later used other site postimg.org and it worked well.

Wild idea: I'm downloading Imgur images that stopped working. How cool would it be if theymos can update all imgur.com links to talkimg.com?

Slight problem: I've downloaded 398 images so far, and it takes 92 MB. I don't know the exact number yet, but it looks like there are about 800k images in total. So give or take 200 GB

It's not impossible. But we had to see how the images were organized on imgur.com. Also, logically I had to make an immediate adjustment on the server, not difficult but unexpected. Just make the compilation, and then we analyze the feasibility of doing this. But if I'm going to move forward, I need the community's support to bear the unexpected costs of the sudden increase in service. We'll see what's going to happen. I'm in anticipation.

Very nice service.
I have an immediate feature request: add a couple of field for “height” and “width” attributes.
If I populate those blank field, this get added to the BBC code. The picture doesn’t need to be resized, just the attributes to be customised.
I saw this is a scheduled development, but I think should be very easy to provide a custom value in the Full HxW format.

At this moment, you can choose the "BBCode full fix HxW" option, which already includes the actual height and width value, which you can then easily edit.
Either way, I'm looking at several possibilities, to see what makes the most sense and is the most functional.

Hi Joker, just wanted to check if it would be OK for ChartBuddy from the Wall Observer thread to use your service. It's a bot with hourly uploads so just wanted to make sure to clear things with you. I'd be happy to credit you.

I see no harm in that. The system has protection against serial uploads, but one image per hour is at will. Tell me what you need and we can look into it.

This is very strange. I can't find a logical reason for this. Because when I load the image it works normally, as you can see. It is working fine on the server, it downloads without problems, and uploads again and it works. Quite honestly, I can't see why, sorry.




EDIT:

I've created three directories A, B and C to split my images into three categories, Rugby, Known alts and others stuff.  ^{(None are sub-directories of any of the other two)}  If I go into any of these three directories I am no longer able to see the three directories and there is no directory tree to take me back to the page that shows all three directories.

I already understand. Thanks for the tip.
The user area is still being worked on, I will try to do something in that direction.

Thanks, joker_josue

Just tried it to fix all images for the BSFL, worked like a charm.

Easy to use, no login needed, saved me the hassle of searching for imgur alternatives.

Cheers!

I don't think I should need anything but I'll let you know if I run into issues.

I've beem using Imgur for many years, now when they started to give proxy errors I thought that's time to switch to this service. What I can say - everything works as supposed to work. So, goodbye Imgur.
Just one question, maybe I missed something, but what if people not from Bitcointalk will start to use TalkImg? From what I understood from FAQ post, image simply won't be displayed if I will try to post it on Bitcoin.com forum for example?

Maybe you can compress them or convert to other image type to reduce size and still keep the same look like of original images.
I like the idea of replacing images if possible, or forum will soon look like ''war'' zone  

I have an immediate feature request: add a couple of field for “height” and “width” attributes.

Good idea, I am supporting it but this should be only with keeping aspect ration same, so maybe something like percentage slider -%+ for reducing images would be cool.

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?
Or even better than substituting the Imgur hosting with Tlkimg editing the BBC code every time it parses an [img] command?
We must avoid the “war zone” scenario at all ccosts!

Just one question, maybe I missed something, but what if people not from Bitcointalk will start to use TalkImg? From what I understood from FAQ post, image simply won't be displayed if I will try to post it on Bitcoin.com forum for example?

I configured the server so that images can only be used on the Bitcointalk forum. But Hotlink protection is never 100% guaranteed, and eventually in some cases it may be possible to post elsewhere.

Now, the disclaimer is clear: it's only meant to work on Bitcointalk. I am not responsible if they use the images on other sites, and from one moment to the next they stop working. I'm constantly making adjustments to the server, and this can lead to some parameters changing and something that previously worked outside of this forum, no longer works.

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.


EDIT: I am not saying that this rule cannot change in the future, but for now this is the objective of the service. I prefer to keep this objective, because that way I know I can guarantee the best possible service. But in the future it might change.

[joeperry]

Majority of the images I used in my service and in my ANN threads are now gone (error) this project of yours is really great for all the users of the Bitcointalk, thank you @joker_josue

[BF-Fi]

Greate work 

Can we able to post Gifs by using this platform?

[sujonali1819]

Yeah, this is also strange to me. Btw I found another thread with this issue. Suddenly I visit this thread today and noticed the header image loaded and disappeared. I tried with Latop and Mobile phone. Both are same. Can you please confirm me someone if you are also facing the issue?

Note: Topic creator also used talkimg to host the images.

Again, this is very strange and I can't figure out why! I took this image, and re-uploaded it as a guest, and it works correctly:


It may be something related to the forum proxy, I don't know. I'll try talking to theymos to see if he has any suggestions.

What I ask at the moment is that when this type of situation is detected, upload the image again.

when updating my posts/threads i also have the problem with some images that they are then briefly displayed when loading the thread and then disappear.
i think that both of you can fix the problem - the question is only what the whole thing is now, that it comes to such problem...

[LoyceV]

It's not impossible. But we had to see how the images were organized on imgur.com.

It's a long list like this:

Pretty amazing that this is possible.

Big shout-out from my side for this super cool and needed project. Just the right time when imgur seems to have gone down completely.
Sent you a quick pm to maybe help out a little with translation.

Pure curiosity: Do you have any data on how many image uploads and how much data is used already? How many uploads per day on average?

[Rikafip]

Hey joker_josue, I used your tool yesterday for my local board overview, I liked it and I plan to continue to use it going forward. One question though: is it possible for it to automatically reset every time when I click "Upload", instead having to manually click "Reset" when I want to upload more images in a row?

[fillippone]

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.

The image shows up instead with another service.
Is that just me or there is a reason for this?
The image size is well below the maximum allowed dimension.

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!
