Has anyone noticed that one can no longer direct link from IMGUR.COM to this forum? If you have found a work around, then I'd be interested in knowing your solution. Just to clarify. I am able to post a photo on IMGUR and link too it like this one: Spoiler: My Card Today but I can't to the same under the 'Add Level' section of this forum.
Haven't used IMGUR so can't help but sounds similar to the start of the Photobucket saga which trashed a large proportion of boards world wide. Hopefully not as hot linking seems to still be available. Could this be an anti spam measure on the Mekorama side?
@MekoMole - Thanks for the reply - linking to IMGUR to post a card still doesn't work - I've found an alternative site for now but I can't say how long that will last. As for anti spam - very possible as sites are always making changes. @Gepeto - are you able to say if this issue is stemming from IMGUR side or this forum? TIA
Strange - this issue went away just after I posted my above comment but today it is back. @Gepeto - can you chime in on this? Why does the link work here [https://i.imgur.com/wFS5y4B.png] - see link spoiler but I can't use the link to post a card? Spoiler: IMGUR Link
That's weird... There shouldn't be any difference between posting an IMGUR link here and elsewhere. I hope it's not relative to IMGUR itself. I have seen they've got some downgraded issue today : https://status.imgur.com/
@Gepeto - Excellent find - thanks. I've been using imgbb but yesterday AM they were off line so that wasn't good. Thanks to @Block builder, he recommended, Postimages.com. It isn't as easy to direct link as the cards get reduced but again, @Block builder found a work around which I'll use tomorrow.
Ouch... If IMGUR is down sometime that's a lot of images of the forum that could be broken too. I myself used it exclusively...
Understood - when I had a webpage - I would check daily for broken links and take action as required.
