Statistics  March 2025____________________
I am pleased to announce that from this report onwards, the top 10 most viewed images will begin to be presented.

It took a little longer than expected, because I had to analyze several possibilities and try to overcome the issue of part of the traffic going through Cloudflare, which reduces the original information. Furthermore, since I don't keep logs for a long time (usually a maximum of 1 month), I had to check the best way to collect the information without changing the security and privacy settings, which are a priority.

After analyzing several possibilities, I found that the most appropriate option would be to present the images uploaded in the penultimate month, instead of the images uploaded in the month itself. If I only analyzed the images uploaded in the last month, the data would not be correct, because there were images uploaded since the 1st and others only on the last day of the month.

Therefore, I analyzed the most viewed images in the month under analysis, but which were uploaded in the previous month. Using the top presented today as an example. You will be able to see the 10 most viewed images in March, which were uploaded in February. So I give all the images the same number of days. Please note that these values ​​are merely estimates, as some data may not be collected due to the use of Cloudflare.

I hope you enjoy this new analysis. Thanks to everyone who uses TalkImg.


Here are the numbers for the month:

	Number of uploads in the month:  4 828 (+68 that in the last month)
	Total disk space in the month:  1.50GB (+0.01 that in the last month)
	Number of visits to the talkimg.com website in the month: 23 232*  Estimated number of times images were viewed on the forum in the month (hits): 2 379 536*  Bandwidth in the month: 102.31GB* *This data may not represent total/real numbers, because of Cloudflare.

What do you mean by reverse search? I didn't get the idea. Can you share a little more?

It is true that there are many repeated images. But this had to be done before the upload was made, inviting the user to use the link of the already uploaded image. But honestly, I think most users would ignore this. It was time for more programming, for a low utility.

LoyceV when I was preparing this top10 system, I remembered something we had talked about some time ago. Have a backup of only the images that are actually being used on the forum. With this system, I think I can do something in that direction. Whenever it detects a hit, it records it in a DB, then it will generate a zip backup of all new images that enter that DB.

This is just the outline of the idea. Do you think it makes sense to do this? This gave the possibility of "allowing" altcoinstalk to use TalkImg, while BitcoinTalk images continue to have their own backup.

Unless you did that from the beginning, I don't think it's going to be complete: some posts with images may not be viewed for a very long time.

A full backup is probably safer. Talking about backups: I stopped downloading backups when my server disappeared. My current server has 0.7 TB available so I can restart this. I remember some problems downloading last time, so what would be the best approach now?

It would be easy to cheat: post the images somewhere on Bitcointalk and they're added to the backup.

That would indeed be very cool, but also complicated. I don't think joker_josue currently keeps track of the post-location.

I believe that a scraping through the forum would be possible to obtain this information. You might already have this in your database.



Yes, that would be a possibility. Still I don't see the advantage. Because general backups would continue to be made. Also, if it was posted once on Bitcointalk, it has to be in the backups forever, regardless of the purpose used.





Backups continue to be made, and I save offline.
But, I know that doing this via an external server can be annoying because of cloudflare. Try again, or let me know if it works. (https://talkimg.com/tempbackups/) If you can, tell me the last date you had backups, and I'll make a new backup from that date.


Either way, I've been thinking about ways to do it if the TalkImg server sends it to another location, maybe via API or something like that. When I have a more concrete idea, I'll let you know.




I don't log, so I simply don't know where an image was used. Therefore, it would be very difficult to say where it was used.

Now, you can use the ulpoad date as a search method. All images are organized by folders "/[year]/[month]/[day]/". So, knowing the day the image was uploaded, it can be easier to know which post it is in. Even so, it must be taken into account that the images can be uploaded days before the post is made; can be used in several different posts on very different days; or have been added to the post days after it was made.

Yes, the links are immutable, as not even those who have a login can edit the link. Furthermore, theoretically the file name repeats. In other words, even if they are organized into folders for each day, the name should not be repeated at another time over time. Because it is the system that generates a random name for the file.

Hello joker_josue. I started to love talkimg.com, I always use it now.

I have feedback about the embedded codes list, maybe we can add a pre-defined width value only?

For example:

And next time I upload again, the last value I added last time width=300 will be remembered? Like maybe you can use some local storage or session for this?
By doing this, every time I upload an image and I select in the embedded code something with a width value, the value is already the same as my previous use?

Dear joker_josue

I am unable to use the (https://www.zip.talkimg.com/) version of your site! If I remember correctly then this is the second time I have gotten this specific error. You said something about fixing or updating the certificate I think! Anyway, I just hope that you are able to fix the problem as soon as possible.  

"Unsupported protocol
The client and server don't support a common SSL protocol version or cipher suite."

Wait what! LOL! It worked!

Nope, I was just trying to upload an image from the regular version but couldn't. The size was just too big, exceeded the limit, so I was given the message you know what and a redirect link to the zip tool. Clicked that link, and I was at the error page!

I assume, the redirect link to the zip tool had the "www" part included! Yes, by the looks of it you didn't fix that!

This weekend, a new backup file was released. Did you happen to manage to make a copy or haven't I tried yet?
