Comment for Albums

Richard Siu 13 years ago • updated by Sarah 13 years ago • 0
Why is there no option to leave comments for albums/images? I have an average of 100 people viewing my album a day... Would love to see any comments they have on their mind...

im new to imgur, and i was just wondering if when i set my album to public does that make it totally public? because ive posted quite a few pictures and still have yet to see any comments or likes or anything whatsoever. so either my pictures just suck that bad, or im doing something wrong?

Hi! Images are not searchable, so in order to get views on your image, you have to share the URL to either the album or the image.

There was a partial outage with our delivery network and some images were unavailable. Everything should be fixed now though. Are you still having problems?

I am not using Tor

Fabian Teo 13 years ago • updated by Alan Schaaf (Founder) 13 years ago • 1
I've been a huge supporter of Imgur, having purchasing the Pro account and all. But recently I couldn't upload anything to my account because I'm accused to connecting through Tor.

I'm absolutely sure I am not running Tor on my PC and I can't find a way toi upload images anymore.

Hi Fabian,

You must have recently gotten an IP address of a tor exit node, and now the site thinks you're using tor. I think I've fixed the issue, so please check to see if you can upload now.

Gallery Image Req.

Cliqey 13 years ago • updated by Sarah 13 years ago • 0
You probably get this a lot, but I was wondering if there were any specific guidelines for how images get into the gallery. Like for instance I heard there was a threshold of views.. once an image hits 50,000 views or such. Anyway just asking, because I'm trying to get an image in and trying to get a feel for my chances. Also I saw something about that twitter search engine.. do I have to have twitter to get it in?

Also, thanks, Imgur is probably my favorite 'social' site atm.. the community is just amazing (mostly :p )

First, thanks! Also, it needs to be largely viewed and shared widely on the web. This could mean on Twitter, but does not have to be on Twitter. But a combination of, for example, Reddit and Twitter.

302 caching?

Laurence Dawson 12 years ago • 0

Hi, I've been using the large_thumbnail option and have come into a problem with what I can only presume is caching.


Occasionally when I modify a URL from: http://i.imgur.com/5hFoN.jpg  to http://i.imgur.com/5hFoNl.jpg 


I get the http code 302, with no redirect link. A simple way to get around this is to wait 100ms or so and try again. I presume in this time, the image is cached to the smaller thumbnail format.


Is this expected behaviour? If so, is my "fix" acceptable?

Thanks

Extend the session timeout for gallery sorting

Cyclone 13 years ago • updated by Sarah 13 years ago • 1
I enjoy browsing the gallery sorted by "new". That's just my preference. If I've not been on in a while, there's many new images to look at. After a while, I'll notice that I'm seeing the same images with the occasional new image mixed in, as in, there are actual repeats. I only figured out today that what happened was my preference setting expired - I went back to gallery view and noticed it was set back to "hot". If you could either extend the session timeout by maybe an hour, or give us the option to pick a default sort, that'd fix it. Thanks!

Order Rearrangment for All Images/non-Album images.

Zaziuma 11 years ago • updated by Sariphusen 9 years ago • 0
Could we get the option to rearranging the order of all images/non-album images. We can in albums, so why can't we in All Image/non-Album?

IE Issue: The new gallery doesn't update the url in the Internet Explorer address bar when moving to the Next picture.

Joshua Gonzales 12 years ago • updated by Sarah 12 years ago • 0

This problem isn't present in Chrome, at least.

 

When I click on a gallery image, and then click Next to move to the following picture, the url in the address bar stays the same.

 

IE needs your special love. :(

Answer

Imgur uses the JavaScript function called PopState in order to update the URL of the image. IE is a bit outdated and doesn't support this. IE 10 is rumoured to, however. You should switch to Chrome though :)

Clicking images in the "browse" box only works once. After that, I have to reload the page before clicking another image works.

Chris 12 years ago • updated by Sarah 12 years ago • 1

I use IE10 with no add-ins or special configuration, and visit imgur from reddit links.  While viewing an image, I can click on another imagine in the "browse" box in the upper right, and that image is loaded in the main viewing area.  However after doing this once, clicking on subsequent images in the "browse" box has no effect.  If I reload the page, I get one more click before it breaks again.  I can still right-click to open the images in new tabs, though.

 

I noticed that by using the IE developer tools (press F12) to force imgur to render using "Document Mode: standards" instead of "Document Mode: IE9 standards", this problem goes away, but the image pages always default to IE9 standards for some reason.  I assume this is related to some headers you use or don't use, but I don't know the details.
