Problem with images

[Crypto Library]

i used imgbb for years without issue now it fails to work on the forums quite often. talkimg fails a lot if i use "full" but seems to work consistently if I use "medium" perhaps the files are just too large.

imgbb is fine.
The forum also displays the images from ImgBB, but sometimes the images do not load, and even visiting the image link shows the image does not exist. It often happens to me when I use my office internet. It sometimes works well; sometimes it does not work. So, It's not the problem with Bitcointalk or ImgBB, but the internet connection that he is using.

Are you sure it's because of the internet provider?
Because in all my old posts where I used ImgBB as Image host, all the images are currently showing invalid images in the image proxy. Not only just case of the ImgBB, it is also same for the PostImage host.
Until now I've been thought that maybe because using the free service, they remove old uploaded images from storage and that's why they do this show.

Imgur blocked Bitcointalk a long time ago; I am not sure if uploading images on Imgur works or not.

Still blocked and not working.

Yes, I never had issues with imgbb until recently and it's sporadic - I can open the post see the images and then I get a DM asking me to send them the pics because they cant see them. When clicking the photos they can take up to 5 mins to load (I have 7gb internet so not a speed issue) talkimg seems to do it too unless I use "medium"

This makes me think the forums may be the issue over all - perhaps due to the photos size. But I hate to have to open each image from my phone and reduce the size manually. So, I stopped using imgbb and will just use talkimg and use the medium mode.

That was your problem, because imgbb and some other hosting services are not working correctly with bitcointalk forum.
Most members already switched to two services created by guys from this forum, one is Bitlist and other is Talkimg.
It's perfectly fine to use and bookmark both of them:
https://bitlist.co/upload
https://www.talkimg.com

Those two are most important image upload services that I use for my posts, I use both Bitlist.co image upload feature and Talkimg and both of those work pretty well. Since both of those are created by reputed members of the forum and that's why the users who use those services will never face any image proxy error issue whatsoever.

These days I mostly use Bitlist image upload feature because I usually visit the site as there're multiple useful tools available at that site for crypto currency community. But, when I still use Talkimg as well and I would say that both of those are the top working services for the members of this forum and of other forums.

The problem is something else. Even if your internet connection speed is fine, sometimes the images just won't load for you. Imgbb shows the photo does not exist when you visit the direct image link. I don't know what the problem is, but I am not alone who faced this problem. I remember once holydarkness said that he got similar issues, and he probably said ImgBB hates him. He suggested scam victims use talkimg instead.

Apart from Talkimg and Bitlist image hosting, we have another image hosting site, which is hostmeme.com; it was developed by Little Mouse. But not many people know about this. Probably because he didn't promoted it.

According to my research.
When an image is uploaded to Imgur, imgbb, and other platforms, it will either fail to load or display an invalid image or proxy invalid image because the image host is not built to dependably work with this forum image proxy, which routes external images through its proxy to protect users privacy or prevent IP address exposure.

I understand you meant the ISP - I am saying that even with high speed - clicking the link does show the photo but it can take 2-3 minutes to load. Imgbb and forums work great if I manually reduce the size of the photo. Talkimg reduces it for me so I have moved from imgbb to talkimg simply for convenience.

but there are dozens of people I have spoke with that are all having the same issue with imgbb and talkimg when using large picture files with the forums.

I uploaded my images to https://talkimg.com/ and I think it does the trick. So far so good. I also noticed that my browser started to cache these images, while previously when I used IMGBB browser loaded image on every load. That may be good sign that it will work. Thanks!

You already got the answer you sought there. I believe it's best you locked the thread or asked mod to help you do that if you don't know how. Leaving it open encourages spamming.

I understand, mate, and I was saying the same thing. Even with the high internet speed, the images sometimes doesn't work. The forum already has a max limit for the images. If your image size is more than 2.5 MB, it won't display on the forum doesn't matter where you upload it. Since you were talking about the large images, I assume the issue was your actual image size, which most image hosting sites do not resize except for talkimg and probably bitlist.

But I have a different issue. Even with high internet speed and small image size, it still does not work for me. I figured out it is because of my internet provider. If I switch the internet, it works well for me.

is it blocking the image for you only? or no one can see the images you share either?

I think it's only for me, and with some other people who probably have similar restrictions.
I think ImgBB blocks some internet providers or some specific IP addresses due to massive requests or something. I don't know how their restrictions work. But even if I visit the direct link of the image, it shows that this page does not exist. At the same time, if someone else visits the same page, ImgBB shows the image to them. Isn't it strange?

At first, I thought there was a problem with the images people were uploading to ImgBB. I started asking them to upload again. Then someone else said that ImgBB probably hates you. The image is there, but you cannot see or access it.
