 |
|
Whilst using this world class site for getting advice and information I have needed to upload an image of a screen grab or photo of the screen.
As there is no facility for this on the site I had a look round the internet. (I DuckDuckGo'd it)
I found this site and thought that it might be useful for people in the same predicament.
http://www.tiikoni.com/tis/
I hope it stays active forever!!
Perhaps the forum could do something similar.

Heh looks nice enough: | webpage wrote: | Temporary Image Storage (TIS) is exactly what name says. You can upload image that becomes available to anyone who knows image key. Key is told to you after image is uploaded. There is no public listing of images uploaded.
Uploaded images will automatically expire after desired time from 1 minute to 28 days. After that image can't be accessed anymore through this site.

We used to use omploader for this on IRC; istr that shut a couple of years ago.

That's unlikely to happen, imo; in general popular forums don't store documents or images for users, apart from avatars, as the amount of spam and storage requirement becomes overwhelming. That's what dedicated sites like flickr are for (or were, originally.) Specialisation can be useful. |

I found out when using this site that the maximum size of an image is 1MB and my pictures were much bigger.
However if you have "imagemagick" installed you can use the following code to reduce the image to less than 1MB
The file size of the original can be reduced to less than 1MB using the command line:
| Quote: | | convert -define jpeg:extent=900kb input.jpg output.jpg |
Useful for emailing pictures that are too big.

steveL,
omploader was maintained by the dev known as omp.
omploader survived for a few years after (s)he became inactive.

Ah ok, cheers Neddy. Yeah the nick "omp", rings a vague bell (likely just cos of the site, I know..)
It's usually imgur nowadays, that I can see. |
