Image problems / switching to a new image host. (lemmygrad.ml)

We're in the process of switching images to a new host, as our old one is shutting down.

I got most images transferred over (we have > 150 GB of images), but they pulled the old image host a month before I was expecting it. I don't know if (or how long) it will take to restore the old one and transfer the rest of the images.

If your profile pictures or other important images are missing, re-upload them for the time being, since I don't know if our old host will accomodate us.

Sorry about this everyone.

helloite

is there a way to basically replace the files easier due to the most likely 3 image file rate limit? the rate limit never shows up with a sort of timer or anything so i never have a proper time posting images

is the host change affecting the very long rate limit that i usually get since i post many many images? i understand the change, don't get me wrong :thumbs up:

Its 3 per hour, it wouldn't be a good idea to change because image spam is a problem.

understandable reason, my gripe was that the rate limit never showed up nor with a timer. i do not have a github account (and frankly never will) so i cannot report this

this is genuinely good info to have, thanks a lot. i find it funny that i guessed the rate limit half-way

Rate limits are independent of the image storage backend. The rate limit for uploading images are probably a bit conservative.
