Imgur Linked Photos Not Working?

[TheOneWithTheTriplets]

I suddenly have tons of photos from imgur not showing on my thread.

Instead, they look like this.



For reference, these were all posted using the Insert Image -> Link option, they are all definitely still on the site with no settings changed. If I try to edit any of the posts where this is happening, the image properly loads in the edit field. But, when I save, some (not all) of my photos go back to not loading.

Threads for reference:

Any idea what's going on here?

@WebmasterCorey Any thoughts here? Any recent changes that would impact the way the site is pulling linked images?

I've lost all the images in my signature.

@WebmasterMaryJo ?
@WebmasterCorey

I wish when they're going to make changes on the forum they would at least give us a head's up.

Another link issue on the News thread

Test post, image shows up when I edit comment

Testing other posting formats

Super frustrating, I see the image in my post as editing but it's gone when I save. I've been seeing several people's signatures messed up, too. Are the boards blocking certain image websites now?

Doesn't appear so.

Check with Imgur to see if they changed their policies? Photo bucket did years ago, that unless you paid for a subscription, you couldn’t link it to other websites.

Nope, still free to host and share.

Last month, they purged a bunch of explicit and anonymous content, but that would mean the images weren't there at all.

They're in my account, the link generator works, the link is visible when I am editing my comment (I can see the full photo from using the link feature) but it's gone when I post.

Yea, Imgur's website says they allow linking in forums:

https://imgur.com/hc

Are you unable to see your images on a forum?
We allow hotlinking on forums, but these images cannot be used as content for a website, including blog posts, avatars, site elements, and advertising. You can read our terms of service for more info. If you believe your site has been mistakenly blocked, please contact us for assistance.

This sounds like it's possible the issue is on Imgur's end... whether intentional or inadvertently blocked.

Well, I tried using their contact feature to see if it's on their end. We'll see if I get a response.

Funny, I don't recall using imgur for my photos, but I guess I did. I may have to find another way to post photos.

@PrincessShmoo @Araminta18 I think we may be back up and running. My test comments above now show as photos for me instead of the broken link.

Do you see a Red Queen photo and a Headless Horseman magic shot in the thread above or is it just me?

Also, Princess, your signature is working again for me. Not sure how it looks to you.

Yay, it looks good!

Now to see if I can fix the little glitch that happened when I tried to switch my old Platinum DCL logo for the new one.

EDIT: Nope, still doesn't allow me to put in a new image.
