Restore dead Imgur links #1056
Restore dead Imgur links #1056
Conversation
Many imgur links were deleted at some point within the last year, this PR restores a fair few of them. Please let me know if I'm missing any not listed below. Note this PR does NOT restore any dead links found in "unmodern" docs. The following links I could not find anything for: - https://i.imgur.com/qLbXWcQ.png in AddBlipForArea.md - https://i.imgur.com/0j7O7Rh.png in AddBlipForArea.md - https://i.imgur.com/hS6ki7p.png in SetRadiusBlipEdge.md
With imgur starting to block/delete more images it might be worth putting these images on the forums and use the image link from the forums |
Hello, I've noticed that uploading images directly from users might not be the most efficient way to handle visuals. Like Avarian said, with Imgur blocking images on CFX wouldn't be a good idea. To streamline the process and ensure clarity in the documentation, implementing a new section specifically for game documents might be a good idea. From now on, all images related to game documentation could be uploaded to the designated section directly. To facilitate this transition, you can update the Thanks |
some additional options for image hosting could be an official CFX one, or use other options such as https://imgbb.com/ :) |
While I cannot really comment on this right now, I think hosting the images on external sources won't stop these issues from happening and will cause more PRs to be opened where new links are provided to resolve '404' URLs. Ideally, hosting this somewhere internally might be a better idea, but it's not something I can comment on at the moment. Will provide feedback once I have it 🙂 |
It would be possible to just have an unlisted thread on the forums used for image uploads on native docs EDIT: Just realized I already said this earlier whoopsie |
@PsychoShock pointed me to this PR, from the issue I created about the docs, which solves, in part, this "imgur" issue, for the native reference. I'll pick up on this on another PR but with images uploaded from GitHub's web interface, where images get uploaded to their cdn. |
This isn't a valid solution, as has been previously said. |
