That new layout is different and I don't like it.

Mark Abagnaile vor 12 Jahren • aktualisiert von Sarah vor 12 Jahren • 0

Hey the new layout is okay, but I don't really like half the page taken up by popular images. I would rather just have the uploading page. Maybe stick those images on another page. imgur.com/popular or something.

Ads with sound

Max Willis vor 12 Jahren • aktualisiert von Sarah vor 12 Jahren • 4

Hello,


at 21:04GMT on 30/11/2012 I was subjected to at least three adverts on your site which unsolicitedly played sound. The ad units were for Strepsils, Air Wick and one more which I do not recall.


I used the silence button on each ad, but after that ad had finished playing and a new one loaded, the new ad began playing sound.


Please can imgur not use intrusive ads with audio, or make the mute button persistent.


Kind regards,

Max

Judging by the FAQ, "I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here!" (Annie reference.) Is there a way to create sub-albums? (Not sure if that's what Cameron W is requesting or not.)

Angels William vor 12 Jahren • aktualisiert von Sarah vor 12 Jahren • 0
Is there a way to make sub-albums?
Say, I've already created an album, and on the list of things I can do with that album, one of the choices is "create new album" or "create sub album," which would create an album inside that existing album (e.g. the album "classmates" inside the album "friends").
That would be a great help to me organization-wise, as I have a lot of pictures I'd like to upload; and organizing smaller categories inside larger ones would make things so much easier to sift through when looking for that specific photo I want to share with someone.
Thank you for considering this idea!

Imgur albums in chrome do not work properly.

Dan Klamet vor 12 Jahren • aktualisiert von Sarah vor 12 Jahren • 0
Albums only load the first three or four images on the main page, and slideshow albums don't respond to clicking on the thumbnails or back/next buttons.  Disabling adblock plus and hoverzoom does not change it.  The expansion button works if I click on it, but they will not load on the album's main page.

Quick suggestion, if you could have a tab on the comments to switch between BEST and NEW comments it would help a lot. Nowadays most of the comments getting best comment are ones that were there close to first, so a lot of funny/witty comments are being buried. Thanks for reading!

Link Twitter to existing Imgur account.

I use the same email for my Google, Facebook and Twitter accounts.

However I can only log in to my imgur account via Google and Facebook, not Twitter.

I realize that it sounds kind of dumb, but I am a bit OCD about my social network services and such; I like them to be all connected. Never mind if it is demanding. Just thought I'd share what I wanted :D.

Thanks for having a great service even if this doesn't get implemented.

Ability to hide albums

Sushubh vor 13 Jahren • aktualisiert von Alan Schaaf (Founder) vor 13 Jahren • 0
This might sound like a strange request. But now that the embed option is available, I am creating a lot of albums for my blog posts. Now I do not really need to access all of these albums in the future. So I would love to have an option to hide albums. 

This request assume that the images inside the album would still be considered part of my pro account so they would not disappear with time! 

Just a request if it makes sense. :)

Here is an example url  http://imgur.com/gallery/ExxXR

if you were to use the scroll wheel left or right, it will cycle to the next image in the gallery in addition to scrolling around the page.

Down votes

Alex Edwards vor 12 Jahren • aktualisiert von Sarah vor 12 Jahren • 0
The site is awesome. There are only a few drawbacks. To stem the onslaught of down-voting new captions on new images, maybe you could implement a buffer time for people with a low rank. Like they are unable to up/down vote comments on a new picture for half an hour maybe? That way no one's quality captions will be lost because someone wants their caption to be on the top.

tags and filters

Jason D vor 12 Jahren • aktualisiert von Sarah vor 12 Jahren • 1

I propose a tagging feature that can also be used to filter in/out images.


We all love different things, but many "appropriate" images are either uninteresting, startling, or just damn annoying. Imgurites should be able to post  their pokemon, Community, lolcats, spiders, Emma Watson, Minecraft, shock/horror gifs, whatever, but I think Imgur is getting popular enough that we can no longer generalize about the collective preference of the community. Especially with the new ability to directly upload to the feed, it would be really nice to automatically filter out the images that we definitely don't want to see. I think the community can be trusted to properly tag images and police tag abuse for the most part.

Create an option to order the comments on their post time

Kevin vor 12 Jahren • aktualisiert von Sarah vor 12 Jahren • 0
It'd be nice to have an option to change the order of the comments/captions on an image; instead of being based on the highest rating being first, there could be an option to order it based on the time (newest being first).

It would make me moan like an elderly orgasmic sheep if we had this, and it would solve the problem of the good-but-new captions being at the bottom.

Please prevent users from downvoting comments that no longer appear on the corresponding image's page via user profiles.

Chris Phillips vor 13 Jahren • aktualisiert von Sarah vor 13 Jahren • 0
For some old images, all the comments dissappear, but comments I left for that image can still be seen via my profile. This has been exploited by some users to attack my overall rep score by downvoting everything they see on my profile (so for example someone so inclined can reduce my overall rep score by 30 if I've posted 30 comments per account that they have). Please prevent users from downvoting comments that no longer appear on that image's page by removing both the vote links from the user profile for those comments. It doesn't make sense for people to be able to vote on inaccessible comments anyway.

Repost Button

Daniel Lucas vor 12 Jahren • aktualisiert von Sarah vor 12 Jahren • 1

Due to the new User Submit functionality (which i love! thanks) there are obviously a TON more reposts out there. It is impossible for users to know that pictures they find on facebook/reddit/4chan/etc are actually from Imgur or that they have been recently posted on Imgur from the same site. Unless one monitors the New User Submit 24/7, you can never know unless it is actually on the Most Viral page. Thus, I would like to give my idea of a Repost Button to be placed next to the Report/Spam button. This would allow people to report reposts from the last 48hours(just an example) without having to downvote people(not their fault they want to share something with the community that was recently shared, or at least not ALWAYS their fault) or without reporting it as Spam or Abuse(which should be saved for the gore/porn/etc).


You are smart people, I am sure you can work out the gritty details if you decide to move forward with this idea. Thanks for listening/reading!

abort or restart failed upload

tom m vor 12 Jahren • aktualisiert von Sarah vor 12 Jahren • 2

I've just been trying to upload some pics using wireless on the train.  When the wireless drops for a considerable time (say thru a tunnel or in a dodgy area), the current pic seems to fail/hang.  Unfortunately I can't seem to abort or restart that pic, so I then have to restart my entire upload queue again, which gets a bit tedious.


Would it be possible to add an option to restart/retry/abort these failed or hanging uploads?

I'm sorry Sushubh, but there are no plans on doing this. JavaScript makes browsing through images in albums extremely quick and easy because the page does not have to be refreshed. In fact, the entire site uses JavaScript pretty heavily, and I'm surprised you're able to do much at all without it. I suggest downloading the NoScript extension and whitelisting Imgur.
