The frontend might become a bit hard to maintain in the long run though. Another option would be to use the Imgur API and push all the images of a Monthly topic into a Imgur gallery at the end of every month. Then you donât need to worry about browser compatibility etc., and weâd have a simple link to share on Twitter & Facebook at the end of every month.
Question: are the pictures currently saved as copies on a jmonkey-maintained server?
If not, then this idea of erlend_sh might also protect the pictures from becoming a broken link in the future (unless imgur goes off for good)âŚ
Well thatâs their own fault. Itâs called monthly screenshots for a reason
But as a poster itâs easy to work around it as well. People can still submit videos, but they should know that they wonât be featured in the âMonthly Recapâ unless they also include a screenshot in their post.
I also want to encourage people to keep video-updates in their own respective project topics, because that allows us to tweet videos with links to their topic, instead of ushering users smack in the middle of a ongoing Monthly Screenshots topic.
