• An addendum to Rule 3 regarding fan-translated works of things such as Web Novels has been made. Please see here for details.
  • We've issued a clarification on our policy on AI-generated work.
  • Due to issues with external spam filters, QQ is currently unable to send any mail to Microsoft E-mail addresses. This includes any account at live.com, hotmail.com or msn.com. Signing up to the forum with one of these addresses will result in your verification E-mail never arriving. For best results, please use a different E-mail provider for your QQ address.
  • For prospective new members, a word of warning: don't use common names like Dennis, Simon, or Kenny if you decide to create an account. Spammers have used them all before you and gotten those names flagged in the anti-spam databases. Your account registration will be rejected because of it.
  • Since it has happened MULTIPLE times now, I want to be very clear about this. You do not get to abandon an account and create a new one. You do not get to pass an account to someone else and create a new one. If you do so anyway, you will be banned for creating sockpuppets.
  • Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

Let's see if FreeImage.host is working again...

Edit1: Yes! Seems like freshly uploaded pictures work!

Your second and third images are working now. First one's still a lost cause.

I tried with another browser and Nonna looks fine.
 
It appears you can no longer insert images from rule34 on QQ. All you get is a "Image cannot be loaded from the passed link" error, does anyone know if there's a workaround for this?

That's probably not related to the image proxy. When looking at the image on r34 are you copying the page url or right-clicking and copying the image link?

Right clicking to open in a new tab, then copying that url to insert. Just tried the page url and it didn't work either, though.

Honestly, I suspect it may just be something on Rule34's side; there seems to be a new Captcha that I've been seeing a lot of, and that may be part of the issue. Was just kind of hoping there was some sort of work around.

I was wondering if you were using the page url since I know people sometimes try that (and it would give the error you mentioned). Honestly not sure mate, I just tried a few different pictures and they all work well. Are you sure you're copying the full url? This is heading a bit off topic for the thread though.

I'm getting the whole url, though I've also tried deleting the string of numbers after the .jpeg. Doesn't work in either case. If it's working for you than it's clearly on my end, probably a browser issue as I use Tor Browser.

Uh, there shouldn't be numbers after the file extension in the first place. So that's definitely something on your end not QQ's.

Can you post a link to the image you're trying to embed?

Sure. Trying to post the image first, I just get an error, but as for the url itself:


Not the first picture I've tried this with, but a decent enough example. Pasting it into the address bar works for me, as does deleting the question mark and numbers at the end and following the link, but trying to use the insert image tool just gives the error message.

I mean, works for me on my end. Is the image above showing up for you on yours?

I just clicked the 'insert image' button in the text editor, pasted the url, and boom, worked.

The ?-then-numbers at the end of r34 image links are the original image's number in their database. It's actually really helpful, since it lets you find the original image on their site, from a purely image link. The ?-then-numbers is added on when you access an image from the post's page, and acts as a reference to it.

Using the url just given:
https://wimg.rule34.xxx//images/1710/0c0d5ab0b37039b936c0df82a1886073.jpeg?13367242
13367242, in this case, is the image's id number.

So:
https://rule34.xxx/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=13367242
would be the image's source.

I can see it. I just can't insert it. Which prompted me to just use IMG and brackets which actually seems to work.

Which is...kind of weird? I mean, it's fine, that's an easy enough work around to use, but it does kind of make me curious why the button doesn't work but the BBcode does.

I mean the button is what I used myself, so no idea what's going wrong for you. The 'insert image' one, between 'insert link' and 'smilies' on the text editor on my end, is what I used.

Yeah, I'm doing the same thing, the button just doesn't work for me. Really not sure why. Still, at least I have a work around now.
 
I can't seem to embed anything from imgur.
Here's a test:

Looks like it's imgchest's turn now. I'm getting 'cannot pass link' errors when trying to insert image and using the insert media tool just leads to a dead image. Tried it on both QQ and SB and it was the same result.

Only options are Xenforo shitting itself or the continuing enshittification of imagehosts. I'm betting on the second. Getting really fuckin annoyed at these image providers doing this shit. Anything to cut costs by chopping off their nose to spite their face to push their shitty subscription service.

Edit- or their site might be shitting itself too. Just checked their API page and it says its down so who knows.

I looked at Image Chest's discord, the site is experiencing some issues relating to its DDOS protection.

And here's the explanation on what happened with Image Chest:
Service Status Update
Current Status: Stable
Our application is currently running (mostly) normally with Cloudflare DDoS protection active. All services have been stable for over 5 hours and are handling traffic smoothly.

What Happened
Earlier today, we experienced intermittent service outages due to a significant DDoS attack targeting our servers. The attack was designed to overwhelm our infrastructure with malicious traffic, causing temporary service disruptions.

What We've Fixed
DDoS mitigation: Cloudflare protection is actively filtering the malicious traffic
Infrastructure hardening: We've strengthened our server configurations to better handle attack traffic
Enhanced monitoring: Implemented real-time monitoring to better detect and respond to attacks

Next Steps
Tomorrow, we'll be conducting controlled testing to ensure our capacity improvements can handle traffic without external filtering. This testing will help us optimize performance and confirm long-term stability.

For Users
No action is needed from the community. Service should remain stable, and we'll continue monitoring closely.

Thank you for your patience as we strengthen our infrastructure to better serve the community. I appreciate all of you!
