Mdrop Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Guys, My forum is growing the last months and a huge amount of members have there avatars on my server, no problem for the data or something but yesterday i received an DMCA warning about an avatar from one of my members... Yeah i its possible. I know in older versions (And vB) it was possible to host avatars on other services (Imgur ....) but can't find that function in the new panel. Is the function completely removed? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiwa Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 You can use Gravatars. They are remotely hosted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aiwa Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 Remote linking, no. You can still use remote images from imgur etc, but it imports them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenLinks Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Keeping images on remote servers like imgur etc.. is never a good idea. On our big board total space used by avatars are 275MB . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, space is no problem but i can't check every avatar on piracy or other rights. Remote hosted then it is nog my problem. But gravatar will do it. PS: How can i fix the 'image error' when someone has no gravatar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiwa Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 You really should local host everything. If you get a complaint, take it down. Doesn't take much effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G17 Media Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Deal with the DMCA, remove it and warn the user. No? If the DMCA is bogus, tell the company that it's nonsense. Get a host that let's you deal with abuse reports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mdrop Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 I think it is an error in IPB or something, there are images like: i2.wp.com/www.*domain.com*/public/style_images/master/profile/default_large.png And can't fnd an setting to change this URL.

Aiwa Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 You might submit a ticket and have IPS look at it... I have no clue where that i2.wp.com is coming from.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Salvo* Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 did you solve this problem? I've noticed that I have the same problem, a strange external url, for the same img. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miraclesun Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Multiple domains. In order to take advantage of parallel downloads we support multiple sub-domains for Photon. If you tend to have many images per page you can split them across i0.wp.com, i1.wp.com, and i2.wp.com. In order to take full advantage of client caches, you should statically hash the subdomain based on the URL. Here is an example of how to do this in PHP. http://developer.wordpress.com/docs/photon/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Salvo* Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Ok, but where can I put eventually the default new anonymous logo? There isn't any setting about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrem Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 DMCA on an Avatar? These people need to get a life. I've once gotten a email from another site where someone was remote linking an avatar (this was back in the 3.0.X days), he was off his nut about me 'stealing' his bandwidth.

*Salvo* Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 This solved this problem: That's how Gravatars work now, since the Gravatar service and Wordpress are both owned by the same company. Google, I believe. In any case, just disable Gravatars to resolve the problem. ACP -> System Settings -> Members sub-tab -> User Profiles -> Allow users to use Gravatars. Set that to "No" and save the page. That will then use the local default image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
