JPG Comressor not working?

Sushubh Mittal 12 years ago updated by Sarah 12 years ago 1

PNG files are never optimized by Imgur during uploads. Today, even the JPEGs are being uploaded in full size even though I have not changed the setting.

Rename the "Hide" feature

awkward guy 10 years ago 0
The feature says it permanently hides a picture from an account, however it doesn't explain that doing so means losing full control of the picture.  I understand that the feature has its uses, but it's kind of misleading and isn't reversible, which can cause some problems for people who don't understand it yet, so I feel a different name would be appropriate.

Why some Imgur images doesn't appear in Google Instant Preview

DanielSemper 13 years ago updated by Alan Schaaf (Founder) 13 years ago 2
You upload an image to your account, you publish it in your blog, after some minutes, search it in Google, try the Instant Preview and you will only see the Alt text displayed (in the small preview)

Return status code 404

JDW 10 years ago 0
A lot of users on our forum use imgur to post images. We check for missing images to clean up broken links, but imgur returns a status code 200 when an image is not found. It would be great if you could return the proper 404 status code (and afaik it's necessary to comply with the HTTP protocol).

a theoretical solution to spam robots?

Timothy Drane 12 years ago updated by Sarah 12 years ago 0
I notice that lately imgur has become over capacity for most of the day. I can attribute a bit of this to the system thingy that you have to gather the most popular pictures, and the plethora of fellow imgurians. But I feel that spam robots are taking up too much of the servers.

Can you possibly throw in an update that would automatically boot the user from the servers and ban the IP address? 

A theoretical solution:
server is told to boot users if rank hits -100

This solution would be easily patrolled by the imgur community. I do believe that there is little room for abuse due to the fact that most of imgur is very respectable (a bit warped, but respectable)...

The best thing you can do is to report the spam caption using the "report" link that comes up when you hover over the caption. We get alerts if the caption has been reported enough times and we are able to ban spammers that way. The downvoting idea is not feasible because normal bad captions (not from spammers) would have the potential to be downvoted to -100 as well. 

Don't worry, the spammers have nothing to do with the overcapacity issue :)
