It's been a hectic week with all of the recent announcements around the web and I appreciate the patience while we ensure we're running optimally.
We've upgraded infrastructure, squashed bugs, and are rolling out new features.

Speaking of which, MP4s have been requested for some time, and most of the logic was there since we were already converting gifs when uploaded.
This has been fleshed out more and mp4 is now a supported upload type. These videos have the same constraints as images, so they can be up to 20mb for now. As we monitor the performance over the coming days we will likely bump the file size up to 30mb.

If you have any questions, feedback, or just want to chat, don't hesitate to reach out via e-mail, comment here, or join us on the Discord server.

We had to remove the option to login with Twitter due to changes at Twitter regarding their API usage and costs. To provide this functionality now would require their basic tier, and is simply not worth $100 a month to provide that functionality.

If you previously logged in via Twitter, simply use the forgot password option to reset your account, and you will be able to login in a traditional manner.

We will be looking for other providers to integrate such as Apple. Comment below if you have one you'd like to use and we will look into the feasibility of adding them.

It's been a busy year without much in the way of updates. Things are starting to slow down a bit again, which should allow more time for improvements and functionality.
We have started on the steps needed to refactor the code base to prepare for Android and iOS apps, as well as a front end refresh.

The site was also down temporarily this morning to facilitate a database upgrade that should be much more performant than the old configuration.

As usual a lot has been going on behind the scenes to improve performance or monitor and notify the team if something is amiss.
We have spent some time updating various parts of the front end to ensure a solid, consistent experience across pages.
We rebuilt the component that loads posts to display and use the same component to view the front page, user pages, and search results.
We also built new components and revamped the profile pages so that they have more features, information, and load much better as well.

Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have ideas for new features, ways to improve existing features, or find a bug. We appreciate you all!

We have been working on the back end code quite a bit working on optimizations and ensuring solid maintainable code. As a result deletion URL's have changed slightly. Instead of looking like this:

https://imgchest.com/p/delete/post_string

We have changed to the following to maintain consistency with the rest of our post routes:

 https://imgchest.com/p/post_string/delete 

Please adjust accordingly, and we apologize for any inconvenience.
