Question about images.

[tread93]

If only it were that simple, imgur has really thrown a wrench at us it seems blocking this image traffic! Talkimg has been good although one thing I will say is that I always hate having to resize these to less than 3mg which takes away image quality.

Anyone know what is wrong and how i can fix it?

No nothing is wrong at your hand it's a general errors that takes place because images from some image hosting sites aren't properly embedded on this forum anymore. Few months ago users were facing such error with Imgur images but now most of the image hosting sites give that error. Only images hosted on talkimg can be embedded without any issues while other images upload on any other host will give some kind of proxy error.

If you really want to view an image in a post but the image is still showing that proxy error then I suggest you to click on quote button of that post and copy the link of the image which you see during quoting and paste it on your browser. You'll be able to see the image directly on your browser.

If you notice that a user or several of them have a lot of broken images in their old posts, you can tag those users and post about it in this thread I created for that purpose:
Tag a user to update their broken image links
Some have fixed their images after being mentioned, others don't care or haven't noticed the tag.

regarding the "another hosting service", are you perhaps referring to vgy.me? Recently a forum member posted that the images he uploaded from that image hosting have become broken.

That was me. I used that image host in the past, and just like Imgur, it also doesn't work on the forum anymore. TryNinja explained how to add some more code to his automatic image uploading script to include the pictures from vgy.me as well. It works if those images are still available and the host didn't delete them from its servers.

We have to use whatever's available to us, unless a lot of us want to do something about what Imgur did with Bitcointalk then we'll have to make do with TalkImg which I think is much better because it's got the code already at your disposal, you just have to tweak the size yourself. And when it comes to images here, as long as it's legible and a lot of people can read what you want others to see then they don't really care about the quality.

But this limitation is not directly from TalkImg, but from the forum. BitcoinTalk does not allow posting images larger than 2.5MB. In other words, no matter the image hosting service, it will always have this limitation - you can only post images up to 2.5MB.

If you want to save some of this work, you can always use the tool I created: https://www.zip.talkimg.com/
