For each proposal on Area51, a promotional image is automatically generated and it shows the current state, e.g. number of followers/supporters or comitted. Example:
They’re obviously useful for community-ads on existing sites. Alas, the current requirements for those say that the image needs to be hosted on imgur.com
. I can easily provide the URL https://area51.stackexchange.com/ads/proposal/{proposal-number}.png
in the image upload dialog, to get a cryptic imgur
address back, but I’m afraid that it won’t update dynamically.
Please note that I was able to use the area51
URL on some sites until right now, when the poster generator seems to be broken or off-line, but on other sites the software stopped me from posting any image not hosted on imgur
. Can we please have the dynamic posters working everywhere (and in “HiDPI”) or be assured that the external service will update them regularly?
