I can't seem to upload images any more atm. It upload images perfectly but when I want to open the url it gives me the "Error" page :s

That is/was a problem with localhostr itself, I tried via the normal website and it does the same thing, report it uploaded ok but not give a URL.

Alright, just though I'd give you a heads-up about it :) I also tried it later on with the website uploader and just like you, it gave me the error page.

Now everything is working like it's supposed to :)

Thanks for the updates Mike, the new uploadr site looks great, I'm loving the new icon too.

Cheers :)

Thanks, although mail designed both so I can't really take the credit :p This version should have fixed the 'randomly turning white' bug so let me know if it does/doesn't.

I'm getting an error message whenever I try to upload something.

I wonder of you could add a feature to save the captured images to desktop besides uploading them. Would be really neat specially images with transparency support.

I somehow forgot to mention it here, but the white rectangle problem stopped when I did a clean install of version 1.1.1 :)

Ah well, it was partially a bug with the app (I think) but it was because it was being sent a message it shouldn't be sent, but I sent a beta version to Radish and it stopped so it shouldn't appear again.

Good to know! A bit off-topic, but what is mEdit? I saw it on your site and the idea of a good minimal editor sounds interesting.

EDIT: oops, looks like it's no longer there lol. Canceled perhaps?

Just to let people know, localhostr.com has had an update which also introduced a new API and so the current version (1.2.0) of localhostr uploadr has stopped working. I'll be releasing 1.2.1 in the very near future and I'll post here when it's released.

As the app only checks every 24 hours (at most) you may not see the update straight away. You can do 2 things, either remove the "lastupdatecheck" line from the config (%appdata%\localhostr uploadr\localhostr.conf) or manually download the new version from the site.

Finally, starting today I'll be using Twitter to make announcements on localhostr uploadr (will probably keep posting in this thread too). The Twitter feed is strictly for localhostr uploadr and is at http://twitter.com/uploadr

Ok, 1.2.1 has been released. As I said in the post above, it'll update within 24hours or you can edit the config* and remove the "lastupdatecheck" line and re-run it and it'll force a check for a new version and update. The only change is compatibility with the new localhostr API.

*: config is either %appdata%\localhostr uploadr\localhostr.conf or in the portable directory.

You can of course also re-download it from the website and re-run the installer which will update it for you.

There's a hidden feature in the preferences that allows you to run a command on the temporary file the uploadr makes, I use it to correct the colours in the captured image and copy them to a sub folder of the program directory.

It's adv_command or something, I wrote a batch file to make it a bit easier.

I'd like to try this, but how does one get a localhostr account? They have a pretty website, but no registration link :(

Edit: Nevermind. Invite-only. Bah.

    • Instagram now lets you manually reorder posts on your profile grid by David Uzondu Instagram is finally rolling out the ability to customize your feed layout as you see fit by letting you reorder posts on your profile grid. This feature comes several months after the app introduced a tool that lets users rearrange photos and videos within a carousel post after it has already been published. To do that, people tap the three-dot menu in the top right corner of the post, select the edit option, and reorganize their slides. Now that Instagram has expanded the feature to your profile grid, you can organize your main page without deleting old uploads. To use the new system, you simply tap any picture on your grid and select the option to reorder. This action opens up a separate screen where you can freely drag your grid items around until you get your preferred aesthetic, and then you just hit the back button to save your changes. Instagram's Threads account posted that the system would reach accounts starting this week, so you might need to wait for the automatic update to hit your phone. https://www.threads.com/@instagram/post/DZVV_fyjjSW In other Instagram news, last week, people figured out that if you ask Meta's AI support assistant to hand over any Instagram account, the bot will actually hand it over (even if the victim's account had 2FA enabled). The security exploit involved the assistant accepting prompts from users and generating password reset links for unauthorized email addresses. Meta said that the issue has now been fixed, but this came after the issue affected several high-profile accounts, including @obamawhitehouse. Last month, the company finally rolled out paid subscription tiers for WhatsApp and other Meta social platforms after months of testing. WhatsApp Plus costs $2.99 a month and gives you custom themes, while Instagram Plus and Facebook Plus cost $3.99 a month for extra profile customization and story rewatch counters. Meta's also working on Meta One, a unified subscription service that contains options for heavy users of its servers who want more reach or advanced features. For instance, Meta One Essential ($14.99/mo) comes with a verified badge and impersonation protection. If you pay for Meta One Premium ($19.99/mo), you get deeper AI reasoning tools, whereas the Meta One Advanced ($49.99/mo) tier increases your search placement (on Facebook and Instagram) and visibility.

    • EU says Meta must restore rival chatbots' access to WhatsApp by Hamid Ganji The European Commission has ordered Meta to restore third-party AI chatbots’ access to WhatsApp after the tech giant decided to block them from operating on the popular messaging platform. After Meta banned rival AI chatbots from operating on WhatsApp, the European Commission launched an antitrust investigation to determine whether the company had abused its market dominance. As a result of Meta’s decision, third-party AI chatbots, including Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT, were prevented from operating on WhatsApp. At the time, Meta said it wanted to reserve the WhatsApp Business API for other types of businesses and did not allow rival chatbots to use it. This effectively prevented the WhatsApp ecosystem from being used to distribute rival chatbot services. However, the European Commission has now announced an interim measures decision requiring Meta to restore access to WhatsApp for rival general-purpose AI assistants on the same terms and conditions as before October 15, 2025. The Commission has also asked Meta to maintain that access until the antitrust investigation is concluded. The Commission argues that Meta has used its dominant market position to prevent rival AI chatbots from accessing the WhatsApp Business API. While Meta allowed rival services to return to WhatsApp by paying a fee, the European Commission still considers that arrangement to be a de facto access ban. According to EU antitrust chief Teresa Ribera, the fees introduced by Meta are so high that using WhatsApp is no longer economically sustainable for competitors. “It seems that Meta expects to leverage the vast reach and likely dominance of WhatsApp to benefit its own AI assistant and to foreclose rivals,” Ribera said. “We cannot let large digital incumbents leverage their dominance of the past to dictate who in Europe gets to compete and who gets to innovate in AI.”

    • I'm fine with a little reasonable promotion of Edge, but the degree which they do it right now I consider extremely unreasonable.
