Update Details

Due to the large number of updates, only features with significant user impact are listed below.

NSFW JS Moderation Support:

Previously, ImgURL only supported Moderate Content for image moderation. However, the free version of Moderate Content has quota limits, which is insufficient for high-volume users. Starting with version 2.1.0, users can self-host NSFW JS for moderation, removing quota restrictions. For details, please refer to the help documentation: Using NSFW API

Expansion Code Feature Launch for Better Monetization:

The user feature was launched in the previous version, but manually setting user capacity was inconvenient. Version 2.1.0 introduces the expansion code (redemption code) feature. Administrators can generate expansion codes in advance and pair them with a card issuing website to automatically distribute them to users upon purchase. Users can then redeem these codes via the management backend without any manual intervention, facilitating automation and commercialization.

Added Random Image Recommendations:

The image detail page now supports random image recommendations, which can enhance user retention and strengthen page SEO optimization (although ImgURL's SEO is already quite good).

Added Report Entry Point:

The report entry point requires setting up a third-party form, such as Zoho Forms, Jinshuju, or Form Master. For details, please refer to the help documentation: https://doc.xiaoz.org/books/imgurl-pro/page/49182
