Hey there,

I've noticed that with Imgur's recent changes, even avatar images are getting flagged by their AI filter. This makes Imgur less ideal for our forum. I've been a fan of ABP Imgur for its convenient drag-and-drop features, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on a couple of potential alternatives:
  • Self-Hosted Lightweight Image Sharing App on a VPS:
    I'm considering a VPS self-hosted image-sharing application that's lightweight. This would be exclusively for sharing images on the forum. What do you think about this idea?
  • Plugin for Drag-and-Drop Image Uploads:
    Another option could be a plugin that allows you to drag and drop images directly into the forum. Similar to ABP Imgur, it could save these images to a self-hosted image-sharing server. This server wouldn't necessarily be public; it would just require forum access for loading and downloading images.

I'd love to hear any ideas or suggestions you have on these alternatives or if you have other ideas in mind. Let's work together to find a solution that fits our community's needs! 😊

Hi Crazycat,

I am a big fun of your work, you always do very easy to understand plugins even for people who never were in forums before!

I can surely wait for your surprise, I am asking some friends to install a new vps for it to have a image service that can work with a plugin but I will wait on this. You can also tell me on what platforms are you thinking to do these alterations since it will take also a while for them to install a freeware picture hoster.

I am very happy to have your help  Rolleyes
Hi Crazycat,
sorry to bother you asking you for this, you must be always too busy

Do you have any idea of where it might be,  and what imagehosts will it cover
this way would be easier to check what server requirements or what services you have done it for.

Very Grateful to you for reaching out

Chevereto looks awesome, but with a fixed subscription and needing to host it ourselves, it is over budget for our free forum.

It just looks like what I've wanted and a bit more  Smile
Do you know of boards that use it just to see how customizable on the board it may be.
You can PM if you wish

I am very grateful for the help you have been giving me PARADOX
