My bad if this has already been discussed but I have a feature request...
It would be great if we could upload images via url through the website somehow. I see it's possible via other tools but being able to do so straight from the website might make it a little easier to post memes.
Well, first of all I apologize if I haven't explained that yet. But, it is possible to do something similar, without directly using the link.
Try doing the following:
Open the TalkImg website, and the website where there is the image you want.
Go to the window where the website with the image you want is located, click on it and drag it to the TalkImg tab/window.
If it is a compatible image, it will begin the upload process.
(Tested on Chrome)
Try this and then say something.
But, I ask, do you think this "restriction" should be lifted?
If you want any limit in storage and data consumption, you shouldn't lift it
This. As any website could start to use it. Which means you could run into porn issues and or simply tons of images 10x or 100x. the volume could be overwhelming.
Traffic wouldn't be my problem. Perhaps the biggest problem is the moderation time.
Fortunately, I haven't had any major complications with "not allowed" images, so far I've only had to delete 3 or 4 images with inappropriate content.
But right now, I feel comfortable with the current model. And they plan to expand the project in other areas.
That actually make sense, talkimg images posted in altcoinstalks loads too long, you can observe it when you load a thread with talkimg image on it that the browser tab is still loading and the lower left/right of the browser has "Transfering data from talkimg.com.." for too long.
I can open the range to altcoinstalks, if many users here really request it. It doesn't bother me, as long as they respect the rules. Now, I wouldn't provide support there.
But, I don't think there are that many supporters of this.
Since I started using talkimg.com here in BitcoinTalk. I also started using TalkImg.com in other forum. I check my posts before in the other forum using TalkImg.com and the posts are still good without any issue, errors or problems. Not only in altcointalks but other forums like buy and sell forum.
Like I said, it doesn't bother me, as long as you follow the rules. I just warn you that the settings limit traffic to other sites, which can cause instability. But, if you haven't had any problems, ok. I just don't guarantee that this will always be the case.
