Oga me u no go divert ur attention to anoda place because u don do other one (s) and me I never see anything wey u don achieve 4rom dis bogus work dem. Though na good work u dey do because dem dey bring some reputation and more recognition to di board but di stress is much o. And wen I see ur name, I no come see benefits 4rom dose articles. So I come dey wonder y? With dis kind stress. Well I dey wish u all di best.

[Hatchy]

First of all op, you suppose create this post for
info thread: useful English topics to pidgin

Secondly you put wrong link for your post wey no even concern the original thread.
  abeg try make you correct the link too. Next time try dey make your post for  under the correct thread

I like the idea. Not because it is translated, but it would be more visible for Nigerians (especially the newbie Nigerians) to see how they can post image on this forum.

First of all op, you suppose create this post for
info thread: useful English topics to pidgin (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5399898.msg60208151#msg60208151)

Not necessary. We can have our own rules here which will contain a link to the main Bitcointalk rules.

[Zanab247]

I guess it will be a welcome development to the community,  because many people will like to test the image and see what they will achieve from it in the future. It will be favourable if the author can include reward so that it will attract more local boards so that they will use all their local instrument to spread the information round.

Na very good effort @Chilwell put for this translation, although e no too they recognized as it use to be when the translation start, but as you talk  am, na so e be, say e go bring some recognition to our board.

First of all op, you suppose create this post for
info thread: useful English topics to pidgin

There is a suggestion thread created by @Charles-Tim [Opinion] Why translated topics are still on a single thread?, and many users suggested it should be in a separate thread and @CryptopreneurBrainboss go with the suggestion as I quote

Good suggestion, nothing bad to try am even though I no support the idea fully, this translation thread was made for the hangout thread when merit rush be come for translation posts and so far it served its purpose effectively and now since we dun get board, e make sense to stop am although I had some doubt on how spammy this place will look due to how poorly we dey translate (word for word, which can be very confusing) still e no stop the board from trying new things all for the sake of improving the board both in quantity and quality.

The new posts translation go definitely add more topics for discussion but I doubt the threads go get much engagement. Personally I dey against having empty threads as they sometimes represent less activities but for the sake of having more threads on the board I welcome the suggestion. Like this now as I dey write this post finish I go lock that thread and we can see how it goes. I pray it turns out to be very fruitful as all successful things here dey add glory to the board.

Maybe that is why the OP decide to post it in a separate thread.

[Mate2237]

First of all op, you suppose create this post for
info thread: useful English topics to pidgin

That thread wey you quote e dey lock na, and nobody go fit post anything again. Dem be tok sae make the post dem e dey on their own thread in the board. Charles-Tim nai create dat won, and people come dey discussed for day time. And as @Hyphen(-) tok am, na now di translation e no dey get head again, omen di first time wen the thing come out and those wey participate make am. Me I no participate because I no get dat kind strength to do dat kind very long translations. So I dos am.  Im try 4 di work but appreciation fa.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

This na really good work wey you do @ "Chilwell" by interpreting this thread to our local board to help our newbies know how to post image for the forum, because this is quite impressive seeing it coming from a growing forum member like you, because it's been long shah I see newbies create threads for our local board wey get to do about the forum itself rather than either political or economic news that affects our nation. But with more threads like this been brought to our local board rather than "Beginners & Help", eh go really help keeping our board active.

[ololajulo]

E be like say dis thing na better option to imgur wey dey easy to use. But e go better sotey people go expect something for future sake wen dem dey engage. No be everybody get the same level of knowledge as Dorsey, na him sabi plenty pass.

[Marykeller]

Em d thoughtful of you as take translate this helpful post  bring come our board for those wey no sabi how to post image for the forum, learn how to do so. At least make em be like sae our local board follow for the board wey d like repost and translate useful tips give their fellow members for their local board since the original creator of the thread want talkimg get more exposure for the forum.

This post wey you help translate so, go help newbies learn how to upload image since the previous app wey be imgur jonse and this Talkimg come be a better substitute for uploading image.

[Merit.s]

@OP, I appreciate the time wey you put in and effort to translate this thread for we own language because you try well well. Sometimes newbies fit find am difficult to trace this thread for general board because them no even know which board to go look for the thread to enable them fit upload image. But as you don carry am come local board,e too make sense since e go easy for whoever just come the forum to sell am for local board and how to go about to upload image.
Good work mate.

 Statistics  August 2026____________________
According to d new statistics wey dey update, We notice say even d photos wey people look pass, d number of people wey look am still dey very low. We suppose know say, since na Cloudflare dem dey use, any changes wey happen for d server fit cause another change on how d traffic go take reach d site. Na wettin dey happen b dat ooo; I don made some adjustments wey go dey fit limit d informations wey dey reach d server. Bcos of dis situation, I goo cross-check d settings, so I go fit understand how I fit improve dem, so dat we go get close to wettin dey happen for reality.

As una know, Na for Bitcointalk dem design TalkImg, So dat traffic through d forum's image proxy go prioritise d server without setting any limit for am. Although, no bi say e dey create big barriers wey u no go fit use am for other locations ooo, but na dis forum bi him priority. So, na bcos of dis i carry d matter for head, I con manage to make some adjustments to d settings to improve am, so dat e go dey get access to d forum easily. So, e go help us improve d statistics wey people go dey fit access TalkImg through d forum.

So therefore, dis month we go dey see very different, different numbers wey even pass d ones wey we dey see months ago. But still, na only after one or two months we go fit know whether dey entered the numbers correctly, and to confirm whether d numbers make sense or not. But, as you dey look am for d first time, e go bi as if everything correct.

Again, i go also like to use dis opportunity to explain how dis  image ranking dey take work. D statistics system dey help to analyse all d requests wey forum's image proxy dey do. E dey check for d number of times dey asked for image link. To make sure say all images get the same exposure time, e dey check d photos wey dey upload for d past month. Wettin I mean bi say, for example dis month, we go take a look at d photos wey people look plenty in August wey dey upload since July.

One last note bi say: we dey remind una say TalkImg na platform where NSFW photos, illegal content, or content wey dey promotes illegal activities are not permitted ooo.


Na d numbers for d month bi dis:

	Number of uploads for d month:  7 982 (+181 dat for d last month)
	Total disk space for d month:  3.11GB (-0.02 that in the last month)
	Number of people wey visits to d talkimg.com website for d month: 1 823 008*  D approximate number of times wey people look d photos in d forum for d month (na): 5 898 861*  Bandwidth in the month: 882.31GB* *Dis data no go fit represent total/real numbers, bcos of Cloudflare.

Top 10 photos wey dey look
D 10 photos wey people look (estimated) dis month, wey dem upload for d past month.

I actually came across TalkImg yesterday while searching on Google for a good image host for Bitcointalk.

I was specifically looking for something that works well with the forum, and TalkImg kept coming up. After checking the thread and the features, I decided to give it a try.

So far, so good. My ANN thread image is currently hosted on TalkImg, and it is displaying properly on Bitcointalk as you can see from my ANN on my signature. I also like the fact that the service was built specifically with Bitcointalk in mind rather than being just another generic image-hosting site.

I wish I had discovered it earlier. 😄

Thanks to everyone involved in maintaining it. Hopefully, it continues to be available for the community for many years.

Oga me u no go divert ur attention to anoda place because u don do other one (s) and me I never see anything wey u don achieve 4rom dis bogus work dem. Though na good work u dey do because dem dey bring some reputation and more recognition to di board but di stress is much o. And wen I see ur name, I no come see benefits 4rom dose articles. So I come dey wonder y? With dis kind stress. Well I dey wish u all di best.

Selfless service na one of the most difficult things to do because everyone in one way or the other wan gain something not necessarily money, some Dey even do am to get recognition and some Dey do am for attention and some Dey do am to seek validation from the public and to me, all these things na reward and the moment you start to Dey do something for person with any form of expectation some people fit even Dey see you like maga(mumu). So I no shock as I see your question my leader.


I Dey use this site for a long time now and so far so good, I never see any reason why I no go use them but I go wan know if e go Dey possible for them to add option where the image we gist with them go fit show link to our website instead of the hit site?
