Tag a user to update their broken image links

@Pmalek
Thank you very much bud for hitting up on me in relation to fixing the broken images on some of my threads on this forum, to be sincere with you, fixing those images is something Ive planned to do a long time ago, but I just haven't had the time to, and the thought of having to start uploading the images one after the other back to talkimg, and then come back here on the forum to start editing all the threads and replacing the broken imgur image links with the talkimg one is very discouraging on its own, and this is possibly why I havent fixed those since, because each time I Come around and see how many broken images I need to fixed, I immediately feel lazy and discouraged.

But just this evening, I got your mention through the btt notifier bot on telegram, from which I just discovered this thread, thank you very much and I will just go ahead now apply the fixing measures stated here, I will come back with the result.

No problem. I am glad you did it. Uploading hundreds of images manually is not something anyone wants to do, that's why we now have the script that does all the hard work for you, and you only sit back and wait for it to finish. I just checked some of the threads where I noticed that you had broken images, and now they are fine. The images in your locked threads weren't replaced and can't be. I think you will have to unlock those topics manually (unless it was locked by the mods) and run the script again if, of course, you also want to replace those broken links.

Please don't PM users and bother them about their broken image links. You never know if someone might react negatively and report you for PM spam for whatever reason.

This right here is a major concern. If you go into PM just to let people know that they have issues with their links, it might have a negative impact on your account.

People don't get patient with certain kind of updates been brought to their termed private space. WHo cares about a broken link posted days or even weeks ago. The post has been made and informaton communicated and thats it. But mentions are actually more cool only if they have the notification bot will they get to find out though

I don't know if anyone has already done this, but take advantage of this topic to mention @jayce

As a designer with several works here on the forum, it is regrettable that most of his portfolio is not available, as can be seen here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1142066.0
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5246932.0

Therefore, @jayce it would be good to mention this situation. Here's a tip.

Yes some designer and compaign managers topics are looking so bad with broken images. Tryninja have done a great job to make it easy for those who have large number of thread containing useful images where thread is almost looking spam within images. I have not tried this service so far because I am using Smart phone and have a low trust on pc after losing my wallet fund.


OP is there any way to do the same function using Android? Kiwi and Mises browser giving some PC function but I don't know console will work here or not.

Thank you for mentioning me Josue. Actually I have converted most of my works into talkimg on my portfolio thread, but I decide to leave the html banners, since bitcointalk doesnt use it anymore. Perhaps I'd just remove them to make the thread cleaner

I don't think there is. I don't know of a way to trigger the Inspect Element feature on a mobile phone. Someone already asked about it in this thread before. Perhaps if you google it, you might be lucky and find something.

FYI, these are the 3 first search results if you google 'inspect element on Android'. Check if there is something there worth the time, but like always, be careful about downloading any weird software. I haven't checked the content or the suggestions on the below pages:

I think the problem goes further. Because I was checking and some images are no longer available on imgur.

Personally, I think you should keep your work history (except for those jobs you prefer not to show - we always have some    ).
But, I believe you will make the best decisions.

I found these users who are still active but didn't yet use this tool obviously because their old threads with images has image proxy errors. Most of these are designers who usually post images of their works.

@roslinpl
@izanagi narukami
@Maus0728

Edit: Maus0728 has been mentioned already but looks like he doesn't need it.

There are active users on the forum who know about the possibility of how to update old images easily but still refuse to do it. Maybe they have doubts about the code, thinking it can somehow lead to their accounts being compromised. I know several people that have seen the threads but I am not going to call them out. I don't think it's laziness because you aren't doing much yourself. It's more work to log in to the forum and solve the captchas at times than to run the code and let it do its magic for half an hour.

How about the mobile users is there any chance to enable developer tools?

Or are there any mobile/website tools to scan all my posts with broken image links?
My plan is to find all my posts with broken images instead of using the script to automate everything I'd like to manually reupload them.

Exactly what I thought... I've not been tagged and I've got no idea if everyone else has - (or if its just for some certain group of picture-posting accounts) but it don't even make much sense to me anymore when i stumble on my post with image reference and nothing shows up after the little glitch..

I have not been looking forward to fixing this issue.

if it deems your interest, then you gotta fix them as you've got more post than some peeps in here.

A javascript code that was made by reputed user who already made different open source projects is very least of the problem. It's more like that these users didn't want to offer their service anymore or didn't care the thread anymore since they are very old and outdated or something else.

You seem to be talking about the designers whose names you mentioned in your previous post. I wasn't referring to them. My comment is more of a general observation about regular posters who are still very active on the forum, know that they can fix their images because they are also active in Meta and/or have been tagged to do so, but still nothing happens. Considering the paranoia surrounding some Bitcoin users, I think they don't trust the code. And since many can't verify it, they don't want to touch it.
