please use TalkImg - imgur deletes all images

since tonight all images uploaded on imgur (which are uploaded via an unregistered account) have been deleted. so we don't get various images displayed here on bitcointalk, which could then also affect the auctions or various offers of our collectors.
to solve this problem quickly, since the end of april there is a new service from the user joker_josue who has created a very useful tool/website especially for our forum, where you can upload your pictures/images.

more info can be found in the original thread: TalkImg.com - Image hosting for BitcoinTalk

i've been using the website for my images for a few weeks now and i'm very happy with it. loading images in the forum has also become faster.

Now that's some annoying news. Will check out the suggested alternative, thanks cygan. If loading is indeed faster maybe something good has already come from imgurs change of policy.

@Satslife Would be great to include TalkImg in your How to buy/sell post: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5277761.0

Jep, most pics in the forum are gone forever. If you wanna save the content of your threads for future collectors please update your posts.

Some posts & pics here were justs to nice to be gone🤗

Not gone forever....go to archive.org/web/

I still can get my pics for my breached thread so I am assuming most other threads will have them too

Sure, that works but older threads won't be updated especially if these members aren't active anymore

The images in this thread are hosted on imgur and still display: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5451838.0

i can't see the pictures. is it maybe because you have an account at imgur and i don't Huh

you can still view the images by entering the link like this: https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/14/blobfedd2b1ea3cc71a3.jpeg in the browser

That would not be the case, as my other image posts have disappeared... interesting Huh

But I just figured out how to post pictures properly. 😂

I have never used imgr, I always use imgbb.com very simple and it outputs links, bbcode etc

is imgr like imgbb where it has an option to auto delete?

imgbb has a "never delete" and has options to delete at certain time intervals.

i just visit the thread but i can't see any image on that thread

I thought I was the only one who couldn't see the picture but it turns out that everyone can't see it either and I already use talkimg website to upload images that I want to post for bitcointalk.

Yeah that is weird... they were working this morning and now are dead.... will have to change providers Tongue

Imgur has been shit for a long time now. It was once a great program/website but then they started getting cheap and taking away basic features like BB code for forums, removing the mobile version which had more stuff than the app etc. I also had issues with uploads and other little things.

I use https://imgbb.com/ . It doesn’t save images but it’s a nice easy way for forum uploads.

yeah I have always uploaded to my account but set it to "only users with link can access"... Anyhow, they are all not showing anymore .... Cry

TryNinja has now developed a browser script that should allow you to automatically upload and edit all imgur.com links found in your post history (including those in quotes you've made from other people).
how the whole thing should work and all other information can be found in the official thread: [Script] Imgur to TalkImg - automatically fix your broken images

Wow...thanks for sharing that CYGAN...I am running the script on two of my threads and will report on how I make out.

This is super cool as for me to have gone thru every thread and post to replace images would've been very time consuming and a headache as well!

I have tried using this service.....and it is asking me for my username and password.

I do not see anywhere to register this...so am I to assume that I will need to use the forum username and password?

If so I will not be using this service at all...too much to risk by providing my info to that site or anysite for that matter.

Did you read the message in the official topic and on the homepage of the site?
The site is down for maintenance, and image uploads are paused.

Within a few hours, everything will be up and running and you will never need to log in to use the service.

I ask for a little more patience and understanding. Wink
