Thank you for sharing your concerns.

Regarding the accounts, the service is only to be used in the forum. So, having the possibility of registration open to the public no longer makes sense, as the service is only useful for those who are users of the forum. In this sense, all users who want to have an account on the site can contact me to register.

In the case of deleting images, the basic idea is one: that the images posted on the forum never disappear again in the future. I think we are all tired of seeing posts where images are missing. So if someone changes their mind after uploading the image, they can simply re-upload a new image. And if you really want that image to be deleted from the server, you can always contact me. But you will need to ensure that the image is not posted.

Those who have an account can manage their images and delete whatever they want. That's why I will always do some evaluation to the account request, to try to minimize as much as possible the possibility of an image being posted and later being deleted.

You're right, I didn't say that this kind of analysis is impossible. But you have to consider two points:
- This requires some resources, which for this type of site are unnecessary.
- The site does not have a gallery system, so the user can not use images already loaded (although it is possible). That is, imagine that you want to upload the Bitcoin logo. But, someone did it before you. If he does that level of control, you wouldn't be able to upload. So you were left without the ability to use the service. It didn't make sense, don't you think?




Not exactly! I will always know which was the first image to be loaded. Unless both images are loaded at the same time.
Also, don't forget the following: the images uploaded to the site are intended for use in the forum. When you put that image here on the forum, anyone can take that link and reuse it in another post. If that happens, you must speak to moderation to have this post removed.
But imagine, that someone makes a copy of your image, loads it again on the site and then uses it here on the forum. So, if you contact me to indicate this situation, I know which of the two images was uploaded first, and I can delete the second one.

If you detected any inappropriate content, you can communicate with me to provide this information. In addition, all uploaded images are reviewed daily.

Logically, for that to happen, there has to be a violation of copyright. And believe that 90% of the cases, the images do not violate copyright.

The main scenarios in which this can happen are:
- Photos taken by someone, and other people use as their own. But, the person had to prove that they had taken that photo, and that it had never been posted in any public place on the internet.
- A brand does not authorize its logo to be on a certain website. Imagine that Apple sends an email saying they don't want their logo on TalkImg, so I'll have to remove it.

Now what is the probability of that happening? Low, but it can happen. But, it's unlikely. If it happens, I logically have to take action.
Therefore, it is not enough for someone to post an image similar to another one here in the forum, which will see it removed. The image must be protected by copyright.

Protected by copyright, the image/brand/holder must be registered with the patent authorities in the country. If it weren't like that, anyone would say that an image was yours. Owning the rights to an image involves more than simply saying the image is yours. It's yours if you register it, something that involves money and time.

Well, because it's popular, been online since years and is not managed by a single individual, this is what I meant by single point of failure. joker_josue manages TalkImg, what about site if something happens to him?

This is a great idea and great service!

I uploaded an image to the site and it was easy, bbcode provided so it was just
click COPY, way handier than what I have been using to date, Blogger.

I think it would be nice to set up an account, that way we can see exactly what we
uploaded, then again does it matter given the idea is the images stay on BCT anyway?

In relation to images I would also like to suggest for the smartphone users is
to use the FREE app Adobe Photoshop Express, its great for resizing, cropping and editing
before uploading to Talkimg, also means in the long run it saves on server space.

May I ask? How to understand your words?


Will the pictures that will be posted on your service be displayed on sites other than bitcointalk? I mean if I upload a picture on your service but place the link on another site (not bitcointalk), will this picture be displayed there?

UPDATE:
The list of BBCode codes to embed has been updated.
Now, you have the option "BBCode full fix HxW" where the BBCode code will include the actual width and height of the image.


I hope this function can be useful.

Note to translators:
I include the term "new" in front of points that were revised in the OP. This will allow you to more easily update the translations.
Thank you for your cooperation.

I just noticed that too: although the screen may seem blank, if you zoom it down you'll be able to see the Bitcoin logo.

This is a work in progress so there is no problem with that. I'm sure that in different third parties' websites it won't be shown and it works in Loyce's web for some technical details I don't understand. Anyway, I suggest to address this issue sooner or later, because the peculiarity that the images can only be seen here is a great point for this project, IMO.

Keep up the good work!
