Sidebar vote colour

Alex Cranfield 9 years ago 0
I don't know id it's a bug or not, but the colours of my votes on the sidebar are no longer visible. I hope this is only a temporary thing as it's my favorite UI feature on imgur.

Your Facebook and Imgur accounts need to share the same email. Once they do, just click the Facebook button and it should work.

Hitting s while in my own album conflicts with Google Chrome's "search by image" hotkey feature.

RayRay Avid Lebon 10 years ago 0
In Chrome if you hover over an image, press s then right click your mouse it will search using that image. However, Imgur has it's own hotkey assigned to "s" while in my own album, preventing me from looking up information about photos/landmarks/sources/art/objects. I can't turn it off under settings and it is incredibly frustrating. I want to turn hotkeys off!

Selected a few images in my image view, pretty sure I clicked delete and not hide. But the image is not deleted, the direct link is still working. Tried on a few image and it is the same.

Where are the bad comments going?

If two trolls downvote a comment it has no chance to survive.

I'm really sorry about that. It was a bug in a recent update, but everything is fixed now. Please let me know if you continue to have problems with it.

Refresh idle timer for image deletion in PHP

ephestione 13 years ago updated by Alan Schaaf (Founder) 13 years ago 2
To prevent auto image deletion by imgur, would a simple PHP code like:

fclose(fopen("http://i.imgur.com/xxxxx.jpg"))

be enough to reset the "idle timer"? My freecycling website uses your API, and if users renew listings (each 60 days) I would also like to refresh images... if listings expire (no renewal after 60 days) or users ask for deletion, I always call the deletion URL of pictures with this method, so I just want to make sure images stay on imgur as long as listings are on my website :)

Yep, that will work. However, you could also use cURL and grab only the headers. This would be much faster because you wouldn't have to wait for PHP to grab the whole file.

Please remove the upvote/downvote buttons from your comments when viewed on your profile. I recently made a light hearted post about downvote fairies, and have received over 130 downvotes from trolls going to my profile and downvoting everything

I recently made a light hearted post about downvote fairies, and have received over 130 downvotes from trolls going to my profile and downvoting everything. Yes they're 'just' internet points, but most people like getting upvoted (and so most people don't like getting downvoted). It's disheartening to be punished by trolls when you make legitimate posts to try and engage with the imgur community.

Uppercase letters are completely valid in URLs. In fact, most websites have case-sensitive URLs - including Imgur.

Allowing uppercase letters means that there are many many more filename permutations which means we won't have to extend the length of our filenames for a long time.

There are no plans to make the URLs lowercase. This is not a problem with Imgur, it's a problem with sites that ignore uppercase filenames.
