Dynamic images

Meta
1

I’m trying to put a “dynamic” image that changes over time but the forums keep changing it to a custom one from the server.

This is the notification I get http://gyazo.com/0ea8f9a0cd5e4d1679e96f08461de4b9 and the image being changed.

Can I solve this in some way?

Thanks.

2

upload the picture to the forums.

3

Can you upload the image via Dropbox, and then later switch the images (with the same file name, so the link stays the same).

4

But my picture changes overtime, every half an hour.

5

The thing is that I don’t want the server to change the link.

6

Try my Dropbox method.

7

The image is provided by a server that’s not mine.

8

I suppose you’re out of luck then.

@FerusGrim, there is a fix to that? :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m just a moderator. I don’t control the dynamics of the forum itself.

However, as far as I’m aware, there’s no way to make a single exception to this feature.

Thanks still. I will leave it here.

So far I know you need to use an https:// url to make sure discourse doesn’t download and host the image.

You want “disable image download domains” site setting.

warning: this will leak the IP of every forum user to the server hosting the images

Ferus said a way of making an exception for one file, not site-wide :wink:

It’ll be a “his site”-wide exception… any images he wants cached can just be uploaded somewhere else.

You could also add i.imgur.com to the list, too. They’re pretty good about not having many deletions.
