Imgur problem?

[Starmage]

Hi everyone! Am I the only one who noticed there's a problem with imgur images in RMW? , If you look at my signature, I use mostly imgur images for them and now they're just an "X" image. It goes for my game threads as well, the images I used from my Imgur are now "X". x( And I looked at other RM sites where I post my games, and my imgur images are still working fine, so I feel it may be an issue with a website update or something?

Well, I'm just curious to know if people notice this. Thanks so much for checking! ^_^

I can assure you, no. Not only have half the status updates the past few weeks been about that very thing, but the lovely @Avery already did a tutorial on how to access the images that were originally embedded from imgur.

If you're images are under 2MB, you can upload them directly to your post instead of linking out to them. It might take time to re-update all of your posts, but at least the pictures (hopefully) will last longer.

The problem is not RMweb, but seems to be a change by imgur.

Oh my! Yes, I have recently seen Avery's post too, thanks to a good friend of mine who linked it! ^_^ But ohh, I guess I will have to work on updating my threads and sig 1 by 1 to fix em huh? x(( Well that's gonna be a lot of work omg. But I guess its worth it if I want them to stay longer and reliable on the site. The weird thing tho is that my imgur images still work fine on other RM websites like savepoint and chaosproject.

Here is the tutorial Avery posted about fixing it. Later in the thread @TheoAllen posts an even better fix. But all this is concerning those who wish to access the images. Those who want to display their images, will need to manually swap the images in each post.

[threads with dead images]IMGUR Hotlinks not working - how to still access resources

I was not sure whether this is supposed to be a tutorial, but to paste it in into every relevant thread was too much and I still felt like it rather belongs to the resource section. So what is the point: Imgur has removed their hotlinks, and even though the images still exist on the site, they...

Ohh thanks TheAM-dol! Kiyasu did share Avery's thread to me earlier! Hmmm, my desire indeed is to display my imgur images x( So I guess I will have to endure some manual replacements for all of 'em T_T, maybe not today. xD
