Pictures, gifs and more

Hello, ChatFighters!

We're thrilled to share some fantastic updates with you. We've been working tirelessly to enhance your experience on our site, and we're excited to introduce several new features we're sure you'll love. From picture folders to extended story lengths, there's something for everyone. Let's dive into what's new!

Picture Folders and Storage (Available to all)

We understand that organizing your pictures is essential, so we've made it easier to manage them with the addition of picture folders!!!!111!!!! (I know, it only took us three years :D ). Now you can create up to five folders for regular users or an impressive 100 folders for donating members. Plus, we're increasing the image upload cap—regular users can now upload 100 images while donating members can store up to 2,500 images.
--- Personal note: Picture limits are new. Only one account currently has above 2,500 images (over 6500, to be precise). While introducing limits after something was unlimited always creates some understandable dislike, we hope you all can see the point behind it. The limit only applies to pictures you can store on ChatFighters in your photo manager. You can still upload endless pictures on the fly by uploading them directly into the chat from your device. The new uploading interface is already online for a few days, and it even remembers your last nine direct uploads. The new limit applies to what you upload permanently here. It does not apply to what you drag&drop or upload in the chat. While it is a limit, it should not restrict you in your creative freedom.

Direct GIF Integration (Donors only)

For our donating members, we're adding the ability to upload and store GIFs in your profiles or folders. This feature will make your collections more dynamic and fun, allowing you to express your creativity and make your profile stand out. You can even make your main character picture a GIF. Note: the small chat thumbnail will stay a static version of your GIF in the chat. (We don't want that the chat list becomes to gify).
While donors can upload gifs directly, we did not limit the ability to link gifs from external sources into your profile (which was, until today, the only way to add gifs. Which is no longer needed but still can be used). But to upload Gifs, and make them your main character picture, you have to be a donor.

Chat and GIPHY.com connection (Available to all)

We're enhancing the chat experience by connecting it directly to GIPHY.com. This API integration allows you to search for and add GIFs to your conversations with just one click, making your chats more engaging and entertaining. If you don't want to donate, this can be a great way. Use GIPHY to host your gifs, and add them to the chat directly.

Extended Story Lengths and Introductions (Donors only)

More good news for our donating members! We've significantly increased the (word)character limit for stories and introductions. Now you can create stories with up to 300,000 (around 600 pages) characters in length, giving you more room to develop your imaginative narratives. (Instead of 100,000; around 200 pages)
And profile introductions with 100,000 instead of 10,000 (around 20 pages).

Copy picture URLs (Available to all)

You can copy each picture URL on your account with the new Copy button. And add the picture to your stories or directly into the chat. While this was possible with various workarounds, this new way should make it more convenient to enhance your stories.

Chat Interface Improvements (Available to all)

We've also made some adjustments in the past weeks to the chat interface, ensuring a smoother and more enjoyable experience for all our ChatFighters. Such as the new interface for pictures:

Bugfixing

As always, we fixed many bugs but added some hidden new ones - if you find them, please let us know!

Crypto Currency Donations (Available to all)

To provide more options for supporting ChatFighters, we're now accepting donations in various cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin. Additionally, we're actively searching for a credit card payment provider who takes chatfighters.com on, to further expand our payment methods.

All donor perks on this page apply to all your characters if at least one of your characters has donor status.
All your characters can create massive stories of up to 250.000 in length, even if the donor Char is not part of the story itself.


Support us with a donation to our site.


We're confident you'll enjoy these new features, and we can't wait for you to try them out. We're committed to continually improving ChatFighters and keeping you entertained, so stay tuned for more updates in the future. In the meantime, happy chatting, fighting, and exploring your creativity! Thanks for being part of the ChatFighters community!

But I'm having trouble loading new pix or seeing other characters' pix. I get ? icons. I've rebooted a few times but it hasn't resolved the problem. Any guidance, Tech?
