NinthDesertDude Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) My old imgur links would embed perfectly fine and no longer do, even opening and saving without touching the contents of an old post will revert the images to links. What changed? The imgur thumbnail button only gives images that are too small. Having the big visible pictures is crucial for the plugin threads I started. I couldn't find any means to get a picture directly showing up, short of modifying the http posts via Fiddler or something. (This is the only technically accurate subforum I can post this in.)

toe_head2001 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Add an image to your post, as you would normally, and then you can add any link you want onto the image. Quote My Gallery | My Plugin Pack Layman's Guide to CodeLab Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Try this: 1. Copy the direct link code from Imgur. 2. On your small thumbnail image, hold Control and right click on the mouse, choose Edit Image and add the direct link code to the first box and save. It should now open to the bigger size when you click on it.

NinthDesertDude Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 Looks like it's because imgur used to have http: links instead of https: and it won't auto-embed an http image (but it used to), so editing old topics with images from http domain was reverting them to links. Thanks for troubleshooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
