TalkImg.com - Image hosting for BitcoinTalk

[The Sceptical Chymist]

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Not I, said the fly.  And I just used your site to host several images a couple of hours ago, and I've used it a number of times since you created it (and again I say, hail joker_josue!!).

That's really kind of philipma1957 to donate that much btc to you and to promote your site.  Now I feel like an absolute freeloader, seriously.  Funds are so tight right now that donating to anything isn't an option, but I'm going to write a note down in my little bitcointalk journal to do so if my financial situation improves.  Until then, keep up the great work man.  It's definitely appreciated.

Shouldn't the Upload and Reset button function as the same thing because when I finished uploading one image, I try to press upload but it doesn't prompt me to the upload function, I always have to press the Reset. Anyways, it's a minor inconvenience for me only so I don't mind that it's changed but I just want to say something about it and let people be aware of it.

Yes. On Tor browser, I also this too:

In reality, they are different functions.

The upload button opens the upload tab, which after uploading the image displays the image data.
To be able to send a new image, you have to re-load this tab, that's why there is the reset.

Imagine that the "upload" button opens a new page, where everything is then managed.

Maybe the best thing was to change the name of the "reset" button? What do you guys think?

Yes. On Tor browser, I also this too:

Yeah... I get it. But, sorry, I can't improve the settings for Tor browsers at the moment. I am sorry for that.
But, once again, I inform you that I do not collect any user data. Only the IP is associated with the uploaded images. So just use VPN and you will be safe.
I'm sorry, but right now it's the best I can do.

Do not feel this way!!! The project was designed for everyone, for those who make donations and for those who don't.
Enjoy the whole project and have fun.

The problem is it doesn't prompt me to upload a new image, it just shows a dropdown list, try to upload an image and then click the Upload, that's what I'm talking about. I don't really mind if you don't change it and I think the reset is just fine. I shouldn't complain that much considering I use it for free.

You should design a signature and host a signature campaign that promotes the website for free, I would gladly promote it for free, I'm not in any signature campaign so I won't mind.

Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Surprisingly, the error which i saw yesterday no longer appears on my Firefox when I click on the links, but It has persisted on Tor browser. I just tested the links on the rest of other browsers (Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Opera etc.) and all is good.

Hello @Joker_josue, I just notice that searching talkimg on google for the first time doesn’t gave the exact website as result on seach. It happened to me when I try to search talkimg on my new device. I check carefully the url so I’m sure it’s correct. The only time I manage to search the website is when I visit by using the forum links that you provide on this ann thread.

Is this some SEO issue?

I tried just now and it showed another result "talking":



if you click "Search instead for talkimg " it will show talkimg in the first result

Be my guest! I like to hear the opinions of users, and when possible improve their experience.

But, now I don't understand the point you want to highlight.  Can you try to explain again, please?

If you want, you can use the sig that was created for this purpose, which you can find here:

As I explained in my previous post, I am currently unable to further improve the experience via Tor. Am sorry.
I hope in the future to improve. But at this point I can't promise when that will happen.

Is this some SEO issue?

SEO is not having any problems. But as @bitmover commented, Google has a habit of trying to correct words, and that can lead to this situation.
In addition, as the site has a very specific target audience, it ends up reducing the probability of appearing more often in general searches.

This is yet another good reason to use DuckDuckGo instead of Google. It respects your privacy and will give you results without modifying your search. (and if you need google results, just add " !g" at the end of your search for example, the !Bang system is great if you have this search engine as your default search engine)

It's not an SEO issue; that's just Google trying to be "smart." Since the word "talkimg" is very similar to "talking," Google treats it as a typo and prioritizes results related to "talking" first. That's why you get the "Search instead for talkimg" suggestion below.

To work around this, you can put "Talkimg" (with quotes) in the search, and it will display the correct results from the get-go.

I think that's how it should work. When you upload one image (or several at once), your next step is to select and copy the embed codes that you'll use on the forum. Now, imagine that you forget to copy the codes and accidentally click somewhere on the website, closing the upload tab. You'd have no way to go back (unless you're logged in), and you'd have to upload the same image again. That's why the Upload button was designed to show you the codes for the already uploaded image again.

If you want to upload new images, you don't have to click on "RESET"; instead, you can simply click on the TALK[img] logo or refresh the website. This will start a new session, and the Upload button will revert to its primary functionality again.

I think it's not worth your salt solving the issue (I don't think it's an issue), it's just an individual ick so I don't think I would elaborate it more. I can use it just fine already is what I'm trying to say and complaining about something minute is kind of a waste of time for the two of us. Thanks for the signature campaign link though.

 Statistics July 2023____________________
The month of July saw the first sponsorship opportunity, where an advertised banner was added integrated into the website, without impairing the performance and user experience.
I also added a statistics space in the OP, with the total data since the beginning of the project.
If you have ideas to enrich this project, I am available to hear them.


Here are the numbers for the month and totals:

	Number of uploads in the month:  12.023 (+1.982 last month)
	Total disk space occupied:  11GB (+3.6 last month)
	Number of visits to the talkimg.com website in the month: 4.446 (+1.269 last month)  Bandwidth in the month: 336GB (-68GB last month)

Thanks for your support.

Adding simple dark theme switch would be nice, but this is nothing urgent, and maybe it's better to try and solve issues for Tor browser.
Maybe one small suggestion for update is adding navigation buttons, like forward, back, and redirection to home page after previous upload is completed, maybe with asking a simple question like this:
- Would you like to upload another image or close page?

By chance this is already possible for those who have an account. You can choose your preferred color theme.

A question for the whole community: would you prefer a dark theme?

and maybe it's better to try and solve issues for Tor browser.

This part is being more complicated, because it involves some server issues, which complicate it a bit.

Who, using To, can tell me all the disturbances he has encountered?
I want to see if I try to list everything, to review everything again. I appreciate help.

Maybe one small suggestion for update is adding navigation buttons, like forward, back, and redirection to home page after previous upload is completed, maybe with asking a simple question like this:

Whenever the upload ends, the "Reset" button is available. Do you think it is not clear enough? Maybe rename that button. What do you think?

A question for the whole community: would you prefer a dark theme?

I think it's ok. perhaps a button to toggle between the 2 themes for those who prefer either of the themes. I actually didn't mind about the current theme because part of the page is already dark.

I also wonder what happens if one uploads a dark imagelike I sometimes do, will after upload preview page be clear enough?

Definitely. Easier on the eyes.

I don't need it. I often see people ask for a dark mode, is that because of sloppy brightness control on their screen? Phones by default nowadays are too bright, and automatic adjustment doesn't work well (at least for the last 2 phones I've had). So that means I manually adjust the brightness on several screens a few times per day, but I never use a dark mode.

[paid2]

A question for the whole community: would you prefer a dark theme?

Yes, a dark mode is always welcome from my point of view. 

If all sites offered a dark mode, I wouldn't have to use a shady plugin in my browser to make all the sites I visit dark.
I spend far too much time in front of my screen, and I'm too prone to migraines to just turn down the brightness of my screen, that wouldn't be enough (and not all laptops offer night shift unfortunately).

To be totally honest, it's hard to convince to simply make the switch until one actually experiences it.

Dark themes don't trigger as much of the light senses in our eyes since we're viewing more dark areas over light(er) texts and elements, not to mention having spent lots of our times on the screen if it's part of your job. Done well and you'd be pleasantly surprised how good things look and become more immersive, with some degrees of battery saving on your mobile devices. Even helps with sleeping as well.



About the brightness control, that's just one thing but not it's not optimized on all devices. The opposite happens on one of my phones and I've to always adjust the slider to be brighter, only for it to revert mere seconds later.

Give it a try for one week (e.g. YouTube), I might see you on the dark side 

EDIT: Forgot to add, reduces the burn-in screen effects
