Who made Imageshack so butthurt?

Fucking Imageshack, I've been butthurt ever since they wouldn't host my Jagged Alliance 2 screenshots. Apparently the GoG version of JA2 saves them as an odd file format that is an absolute pain in the ass to convert into something more manageable. Damn, I wish I could remember the file type now because I couldn't find any free sites that would host it and the only program I could find that claimed to be able to convert them into anything else (.jpeg in this case) didn't work for whatever reason.

Is TARGA really that obscure nowadays?

The GIMP can handle them just fine, I wouldn't put it past photoshop either.

Yep. I'm pretty sure that's the file type. I do remember reading somewhere that Gimp could convert them but I don't have gimp downloaded and even though it's free I wasn't going to bother with converting each image one at a time. It was all for a blind JA2 LP that I was only really ever half-interested in doing. Still, I'd never heard of, let alone seen, that file before and I gamed all through the 90's.

Truth be told, your images would eventually be fucked no matter what service you used because:
  • ImageShack deletes images that aren't viewed after X days (currently it's a year if you're not registered with them). Check some of the old LP's. They don't have images anymore.


  • Yeah, of course if you're a registered user (which is free) images stay forever. DU, I'm really hoping you'll try to resolve this with imageshack.


  • But what would it take to actually resolve it? Delete any porno posts going to imageshack until the next person uploads some more?

Don't worry, it was rhetorical. If anything, I think they were really calling out for more porno on imageshack of a more balanced (*ahem*) nature but just couldn't bring themselves to admit it for fear of disapproval from Fox News.

For those of us using the :obviously: browser Opera
Verktyg -> Inställningar -> Avancerat -> Nätverk -> Sänd Referens information

In the English version I guess this would be
Tools -> Settings/preferences -> Advanced -> Network - > Send Refferation information.

You can now view images from non prestigious imageshack on prestigious codex :salute:

That'd be cool! Thanks, DU. Once it's done, I'll be able to reupload my LPs to the Codex gallery without too much effort I guess.

Fucking niggershack ruining our lives. I bet DU set this whole thing up so that we'd have to buy image hosting on the Codex. Well, he wins. If there's a reasonably easy method of fixing this bullshit I reckon I'll have to shell out.

Dear ImageShack,

Did you sell your soul to the DU devil?

You got what you had coming to you. Imageshack has been one of those few particularly shit image hosts since they first started operating. Images hosted there got deleted or blocked day fucking one. One has got to be either a complete drone or just very young to have missed that.

Insert clever insult here
It's not that they are butthurt about NFSW-pics on Imageshack from Codex but that there is NFSW-material Codex and some random child could stumble upon it thanks to Codex. If I understood that idiot correctly.

Changing the sendRefererHeader setting in Firefox to 1 worked for me.

99% of my LPs were using ImageShack.

It is not like anyone is going to read them again so I just moved to other image hosting services.

NVM then. Fancy as a feature, but totally useless quality-wise.

Guess the Codex pic hosting is not an option then. You know, that sendreferrerheader 1 trick worked for me as well so I suppose I won't re-linking anything for old LPs though I suppose it'd be quite silly to keep using imageshack for anything in the future since it's unreasonable that everyone would mess with their settings just to watch someone else play a video game. Photobucket seems like crap. Anyone have an informed opinion about imgur?

It's actually a security reason as to why I re-generate images that are uploaded to the gallery. You can embed malicious code into JPG files and have it executed when people look at that file. Best way around it is to re-generate the image using PHP's GD image functions, which is what the gallery does (Every website I've run has been hacked at some point via an image upload tool - whwnever one's been installed. That includes DAC three times and Terra-Arcanum twice).

Either way, there'll be some quality tweaks soon enough and possibly some complete changes to the gallery. Certainly there'll be a much easier option for LPs than the current gallery.

Can we make the TITS crowd members-only or anything? Seems a waste to fuck up imageshack for the whole forum for one thread - if nothing else, it's an annoying blow to old threads and anyone new who wants to browse around them.

Could they ban General Discussions instead of the whole forum? GD doesn't really have anything worth of giving a fuck, apart from very rare comics (which could be posted elsewhere)

Just to clarify, you want the website that was setup on the entire principle that we don't suck cock, to suck imageshack's cock - over an issue that can be caused by anyone simply uploading a disallowed image to ImageShack and then linking it in the forums, a process that takes all of 5 seconds and knowing the users here would be done repeatedly by some troll or another?

I have a better option: How about I ban all links to ImageShack and force people to use any one of the infinitely better image hosting services? That is, image hosting services that don't cause stupid issues by trying to enforce their ToS in draconian ways that are reminiscent of the sorts of shit SecuRom gets up to. Issues which by the way, can be fixed on your end quite simply with any of the hacks provided in this thread.

Perhaps it would be much better to be able to upload image in a lossless format (.png, .bmp?).
Recompressing jpgs only further fucks up the quality.
