Can you folks fix the problem where you force pages

Turil Cronburg 11 years ago • 0
Can you folks fix the bug where your site forces my (older iBook G4's Firefox browser) to try to load as a mobile app, which utterly doesn't load any images or text at all for me?  As in, when I click on a link to an Imgur page, to see someone's image/s, the address changes to the mobile address, and then loads nothing on my browser at all (just the dark grey background, and empty space).  This only started recently (a few months ago at most).

I have to get around it by changing the "m" to an "i" in the address, and then appending the address with ".jpg".  This usually works (but I guess not all images are jpgs), but not always.

Are thumbnails for animated GIFs going to be static images from now on?

Aman Loomba 11 years ago • updated 11 years ago • 1

Hi Guys --

Once upon a time, certain thumbnails of animated GIFs were themselves animated.  For example, this file and its "h" thumbnail are both animated:

Original, animated:

http://i.imgur.com/H2ewgw5.gif

Thumbnail, still animated:

http://i.imgur.com/H2ewgw5h.gif

However I'm now seeing images where the thumbnails are not animated any more, for example:

Original, animated:

http://i.imgur.com/eGmdu46.jpg

Thumbnail, NOT animated:

http://i.imgur.com/eGmdu46h.jpg

My question: Is this by design and going to be the standard going forward, or are files like the second example some kind of fluke or temporary condition?

Thanks!

I would like to be inside an album and upload new images directly into that album (rather than into a giant image pot first). I would like to do this using IE9.

To simplify uploading, it would be sweet to open an album, and have an "upload more" window that will allow new photos to be uploaded DIRECTLY into an album.    The newly added images could also, at the same time, be added to the giant collection of all images.   BUT, the uploading of new photos would be simplified if they could go directly into an album, rather than need to be put into the image holding folder and THEN moved into an album.   That image holding folder is eventually going to become HUGE.  THANKS

.tif files actually unsupported

Sean Coyle 13 years ago • updated by Alan Schaaf (Founder) 11 years ago • 3
I tried to upload a bunch of .tif (TIFF) files, which the FAQ says are supported though they would be converted happily to PNG files.  However, this didn't happen, it just rejected my images.  I had to convert them myself.

I think you have a bug on the notifications page.

Jonah Scheinerman 12 years ago • updated by Sarah 12 years ago • 0

When I went to check my reply notifications, I saw a new reply, and I upvoted it. After upvoting it the points on the reply went from 1 -> 12. Reloading confirmed that the real number of points was in fact 2. I think you have string concatenation going on when it should be numeric addition.

It changed on february 12. It was a useful feature to have IMO.

Hey, I just wanted to let you know that this has been completed. The thumbnail now updates appropriately.

Let me know if you have any more suggestions!

Have you changed the code used to fetch images in the backend?

Sushubh 14 years ago • updated by Alan Schaaf (Founder) 13 years ago • 0

I have a Pro account with mmm very large number of images. And this had become a problem. Backend simply would not load the images unless i cleared the cache and reloaded the page multiple times. I was in fact considering switching to a brand new account to resolve this problem at my end. 


But in the last 2-3 days I have seen that this problem has largely disappeared. Images load fine after a slight delay. Funny enough, this behavior started when I renewed my Pro account. 


Just wanted to see if you had changed something in the code that was used to fetch the existing images for display in the backend!

Yes, I have actually, and it was specifically done for people with large amounts of images. More optimizations are coming soon too. I'm always researching new ways to make the site faster.
