[fullfitlarry]

It is just me or the website is down as I can't upload any image right now and throwing me the "No file have been uploaded" error?

It is just me or the website is down as I can't upload any image right now and throwing me the "No file have been uploaded" error?

I have tried it on Brave, Chrome and Safari, and mine has a different error message upon trying to log in and it says this:

">>>>>>>>Something went wrong
Please try again later. If the error persists you may need to contact the website owner.

Not just you guys I'm facing this issue also. Don't know what happened the backend server but let's hope best.  joker_josue mentioning you , if you would look into it. I think FiFA just broke the system )
Btw any alternative you guys use to image upload for BitcoinTalk.
It's seems like Imgbb works perfectly, Attached a screenshot of the issue .

But I was left with a question: where were the most viewed images used? Does anyone know of anything I might have missed?

Finally! I've waited 2 months for this moment. I got so close, I almost made it! You should swap #2 and #3, they have the same number of views.
<...>
I've received 2 PMs about this at the start of May, and I had to be careful not to post it in topics where you'd be likely to quote me. If only I could have seen your face when you created this post

I tip my hat to you, Marcel.
I think this must be remembered as one of the most beutiful thinkgs happened on this website.
Just remember to vote for me at the "Bitcointalk Event" category during next year's BCA!

Talkimg seems to be down at this moment. I am also getting errors, a different one actually, Runtime errors.

There is an official alternative (I'm putting it that way) to talkimg.
You can use: https://bitlist.co/upload by TryNinja (made for BTT).
It works pretty well. It has all the features like multi image upload, image resizer, compression, everything that talkimg provides.

Situation resolved.

This situation was completely beyond our control. It was an error on the server and in its routines.


EDIT:
A new bot intrusion attempting to access the service may have contributed to this situation. I am monitoring it.

I had bots trying to visit the site thousands of times per minute. I made some security adjustments to block/reduce these bots.

Please note that TalkImg is for use only on the Bitcointalk forum (and is viable on Altcointalk), not on social networks or other places on the internet.

Thanks, I can confirm it works..

I do have a few questions and suggestions though.

When clicked the "Upload" button, I see this message saying what formats are supported and the image sizes and all.



But when I click this "start uploading" option, for a split second I see the message (close to the red box), and then it's gone. So can you make it permanent?



Also did you reworked the "zip" tool? I may have missed the update. I don't remember seeing the images are 'automatically' compressed part.

Lastly inside the edit upload section, there are a few options like title, tags, descriptions. What are they supposed to be? I uploaded one with the info filled, but saw nothing. Are they supposed to be metadata? What's their actual purpose?



For this image, I have added the demo info.

I didn't understand the point of the message.

Regarding the zip tool... well, that might be one of the new features in v2.0.    

In the case of these fields, they are only relevant for users with accounts, since it's solely for personal registration. I might even remove them later; I'll think about it.

Sorry for my wrong choice of words (I suck at this), which probably made this confusion. What I meant was, when I use the "Upload" (upper right corner) button I see that message. But when I use the "start uploading" button (on the middle), that message isn't visible. So I was hoping you would add that. Did i make sense this time?

Yeah I missed the zip update. It might be the one of the best update you have added. Previously I would have to use snapseed to downgrade the image quality to make it work with talkimg (it was an annoying process).

Ahh, for users with account. Noted...

[DYING_S0UL]

snip..

Just wanted to let you know that I got a host error today.
Nothing major though, as it quickly came and disappeared right away, after a refresh...
But I'm still reporting it, given that the recent server error, and that it might help you in someway.

Cheers  



Later edit: The site feels kinda slow laggy now.

Can you be more specific?
Does this happen at any specific time?

At the moment, I have not seen any change in the available records.

Nope, it was completely random and happened only once, when I made the "later edit", maybe like 30 minutes ago.

I forgot to take ss but what happened was, it was still loading for a few minutes, and some of the assets were like broken, the images.

Anyway, I don't see it anymore. Probably a random bug/glitch.

FYI, other sites were just fine, I was browsing the net, watching yt and using forum.


39 languages? Man that's a lot of language you got for talkimg!

Were you uploading multiple images at the same time?
Were any of these images being optimized by the system?

Anyway, on all websites there may be moments of greater slowness, due to some underload of accesses or sometimes it is just our browser that wants to hinder our work.

Nothing much really! I needed to upload something, so I typed in the address, it caught one link from the history, clicked it and that's it. I haven't even began with the multi upload or optimization part.

Anyway, I guess that explain it. We can't really expect everything to be perfect all the times. Shit happens. So wait and move on.

@joker_josue, Is everything ok with your server or maybe it's on my side, but images from talkimg are loading very slowly.

@joker_josue, Is everything ok with your server or maybe it's on my side, but images from talkimg are loading very slowly.

Over the past few days, we've been monitoring the service in more detail, for a variety of reasons.
To date, at the server level, we have not felt any level of instability.

In fact, I've noticed that some images on the forum have been slower to load.
But, from the analysis done, it is not only images hosted on TalkImg, but also from other services.
In the analysis made, I calculate that it may be a proxy issue, but I don't want to point the finger at anything, since I'm not sure.

But, as I said I've been monitoring the situation, if I can improve anything, on TalkImg's side, I'll try.

I think this is an issue with bitcointalk. I also noticed some slowness with some bitlist upload images a few hours ago (through forum posts), but I could load the images directly just fine.

Is it possible that TOR also has some level of involvement on this (I guess it does, with all those proxy, bridges etc)? Right now I'm on TOR and when I open my photography thread it's slow as hell (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5584438.msg66780965#msg66780965). The same goes for the Pizza Day's voting thread. I don't exactly know this this whole image hosting forum proxy related things works, but when visiting a thread with multiple images, it takes several minutes. Normal browser is relatively faster, but still slower overall (did the same with Brave, still feels slow). Even though both talkimg & bitlist optimizes the image for forum use before uploading.

P.s: In those thread, I noticed they were loading/appearing one by one.
