XF2 transition feedback

[january1may]

It is possible, I still had a notification email from QQ back in 2020 that has the full content of said post.

That's XF1, the changeover was this year. This got removed in the changeover and hadn't been added back since.

AFAIK SpaceBattles have been on XF2 for a while though so if they can do it then maybe QQ can too. We will keep hoping, then.

now, do not take my words for pure fact as it's been a while since I looked into/asked about it, but iirc it's a combination of that being a feature of an add-on XF1, that was not portable, and the feature that is used in XF2 is not only a paid addon, but it also doesn't mail you the full reply, but only the first few sentences/paragraph or so, as you can see from SB mails.......aaaaand iirc there's also possibly a legal issue if it was restored? That and/or stuff in the mails being possibly blacklisted by mail providers
And considering even the addon being used by SB is obviously limited, there's the obvious question of why even bother with paying/adding more stuff into the server code that gives very little useable info to all users

Where do we go about image proxy issues? Is this an acceptable thread?

I've come across several posts where I know the images used to be proxied correctly, but don't appear to be now. Example.

The post you linked mentions the images in question being hosted on Imgur. Imgur has since deleted all NSFW content it once hosted. That CYOA was likely NSFW, judging by the title of it. Ergo, this is most likely not an issue with QQ's image proxying.

To my recollection, historically, images that were proxied would still be available on QQ because of the image proxy. That's why I thought it was unintentional behavior. If those images should still be available through the image proxy but aren't, that's a bug.

Is that no longer the expected behavior? Am I missing something else?

To my knowledge, broken links to imgur have a specific image that says something along the lines of "The image you are requesting does not exist or is no longer available".

Like So.

Take a look at any of the imgur links for those CYOA's and you'll see what I mean.

In the one MissileTeatime links has images that somehow, for some reason, have the 'image failed to load' thing that QQ has where if an image is a bit borked or takes too long it'll have a 'IMG' bit of text. In this case it's even weirder because it's literally just the text 'IMG' but in a form that's literally just text, not an image or an image link or anything.

Pretty sure SOMETHING is fucking up there, but I'm also sure it's probably not because of Imgur.

My guess would be that the proxy doesn't hold images forever, since that would mean holding a copy of every image anyone ever linked on QQ forever. I suspect the proxy only keeps a given image until a certain amount of time has passed without anyone looking at it, then discards it. So if you're looking at an old thread - one that you might well be the first person to read in weeks or months - then the images will no longer be in the proxy, and if the original source is also gone, you're SOL.

But, again, just a guess. I'm not privy to the details of how the proxy is set up.
