When I enter an image URL in browser I see the image but when I paste it here the image don,t show up, instead we can read posted image. no idea what's the problem.

I also noticed Imgur is acting weird on the forum today. I thought my PC was on the fritz.

[Mechteric]

I use Flickr, so no problems here!

I had this problem a little while ago while trying to post a image from imgur. Eventually it came up after posting every link they give you multiple times. Actually at this point I think I've unlearned how to post imgur images here

Ain't nothing can be done. Gotta move on to another image hosting provider. Or maybe look into the costs of Amazon S3 storage.

But, but all my uploaded Calvin and Hobbes images! Gonna be a hassle to move all of them to a different image hosting website.


*BTW, are they still visible if you go through my link?*

I just assumed that the guy who makes us re-login every 2 hrs decided images were unsecure too.

I just switched to this site. El Bandito tossed me the link. Thankfully, I only have 14 images loaded up at imgur.

I feel for El Bandito though!!

Nope, I didn't inquire, just did some curl requests. If I wanted to spitball a reason, I'd say the Imgur people figured we're chewing up too much bandwidth from hot-linking images.

I hope my occupation as the Keeper of Memes™ doesn't have anything to do with this...

Thank you for writing in. I apologize for this inconvenience. Unfortunately that site has been blocked from hotlinking due to multiple instances of abuse of Imgur's terms of service. The terms of service can be found at http://imgur.com/tos. We don't allow hotlinked images being used as content for other websites.

Looking into the website. The content has been used in forums, and not in any other fashion. I have removed the block. Please be sure that any blog posts shows content from imgur using our embed code.

I do apologize for this inconvenience. Please allow up to 24 hours for this to roll over.
