PK E 12 Posted February 9, 2022 Posted February 9, 2022 I am about to upgrade my forums to the latest version but I have a very important question to ask you about image proxys. My forum still uses imageproxy and we love that because it saved the images onto our forums itself with a long link to it which prevents hackers to ipgrab our members. Is that still an option for the latest version? we need to know that.
Solution Stuart Silvester Posted February 9, 2022 Solution Posted February 9, 2022 Hi, The Image Proxy functionality was removed in 4.5.0 (almost two years ago). If your image proxy settings are currently set to retain images indefinitely, they will continue to be stored locally after upgrade, otherwise they will revert to the original remote URL.

What about new images that gets posted? Will those get stored locally as well?

No, we have removed the Image Proxy feature. It no longer exists. You do have the option of not allowing remote images if it's a problem for you, your members would need to upload the images as attachments to their content.

And what would those links look like for example? So if someone attachs an image to their topic or post or signature then would it be saved onto the local host so it doesnt break the image over time?

We are currently on 4.4.1 Sorry, we only offer the latest release (which is currently 4.6.10). This is due to it is the most stable and secure product available as security releases are bundled in normal releases.
