Posted November 13, 201212 yr 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.
November 13, 201212 yr Author You can use Gravatars. They are remotely hosted... Oke, thats maybe an option, but linking to sites a imgur is nog possible with 3.3.*?
November 13, 201212 yr Remote linking, no. You can still use remote images from imgur etc, but it imports them.
November 14, 201212 yr Keeping images on remote servers like imgur etc.. is never a good idea. On our big board total space used by avatars are 275MB .
November 14, 201212 yr Author Keeping images on remote servers like imgur etc.. is never a good idea. On our big board total space used by avatars are 275MB . 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?
November 14, 201212 yr You really should local host everything. If you get a complaint, take it down. Doesn't take much effort.
November 14, 201212 yr 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.
November 15, 201212 yr Author I know but will try it now with gravatar, but members without an gravatar doesn't get an 'standard image', is there an fix?
November 15, 201212 yr Author 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.
November 15, 201212 yr Author what's that i2.wp.com/? Something from wordpress or something, but thats not from me or something, that's standard with IPB it seems, but it doens't work...
November 15, 201212 yr You might submit a ticket and have IPS look at it... I have no clue where that i2.wp.com is coming from..
January 3, 201312 yr did you solve this problem? I've noticed that I have the same problem, a strange external url, for the same img.
January 3, 201312 yr 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/
January 4, 201312 yr Ok, but where can I put eventually the default new anonymous logo? There isn't any setting about it.
January 4, 201312 yr 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.
January 6, 201312 yr 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.
