File upload direct to forum?

Agreed.

This should be a configurable option, editable in config.txt:

Code:

# cat config.txt
is_open=1
guest_okay=1
reg_url=register.php
version=vb37_1.7.6
suffix=
hide_forum_id=
shorten_quote=0
disable_search=0
disable_latest=0
disable_pm=0
allowed_usergroup=
api_level=3

Should be a (future) option in config.txt like this:

Code:

enable_file_upload=0

(or something like that... )

When did we lose it? Maybe I don't understand 'tapatalk hosted'... I uploaded a picture to my forum 2 days ago. 3.8.6
Someone want to try it? www.survivalmonkey.com/forum

If you edit your posts and take a look you should where the img is hosted.....

Ours is hosted with Tappy....

Add another to the request for re-enabling upload to forum.

Only reason I got Tapatalk to start with was because it let me post full-size photos on the go to my forum - now it uploads resized versions to a 3rd party site, but most of the time I get a reject message because the file is over 300kb so I end up doing the same dumb old way I used to making Tapatalk now quite pointless.

iPhone.

Is there an option somewhere? I saw the other replies and it appears the feature has been removed altogether.

That's good to hear....

I think many forums are like us. We don't want our images hosted elsewhere. We cannot have our attachments, images, files, etc. hosted on a service that may, or may not, be around in 1 year, 2 years, 5 years, or even 20 years.

If we depended on Taptalk for images, then if your service ever changed, or you decided you wanted to charge some high fees for it, then all the URLs and image attachments would be lost to forum users. We cannot have that.

So, you say you don't have a hidden agenda. Fine. I accept it. But you need to make these options configurable by the forum owner.

FYI, because of these issues, we have already removed tapatalkdetect.js from our site, until such issues are resolved. We are not going to remove the application from the forum yet, and will wait and see if the direction, with regard to a number of issues, improves.

I want control of our images too. We like to keep everything stable and unchanging and I rarely let us rely on a 3rd party.

This was a bad idea. Now I can't upload images to my forum, but I have to host them on someone elses server? Not acceptable. I don't give anyone else the right to have a copy of my photographs. But even if I don't implicitly give ownership of a photo to TapaTalk, (hosted at tapa.tk - wherever that is) just the fact that I'm uploading them to your server means that I'm losing ownership.

I'm using an iPhone 3GS, IOS4.1. This started when I updated my SMF 2.0 RC3 forum from Tapatalk 1.1 to Tapatalk 1.2. Now I'm no longer able to upload images and attach them to messages. Instead they are uploaded to "tapa.tk". I'm assuming Tapatalk owns that server, but it's really not a good idea. Please give us a configuration option.

Not happy at all

I want back the old way to upload pics to my forums....

Any news about changing the way as it was before regarding the upload of the pics ?????

Add one more to this list.

Pictures uploaded need to be hosted on the forum's server, not on Tapatalk's.
