At my wits end with trying to view Imgur images

[hafalump]

Yeah , all i see are dead links, no matter the browser.

The FireFox plug in seems to be working for me so far.

Downloaded the FireFox app for my iPad. I was able to post my picture. Not sure if it will last.

Your picture posted correctly the first time. Its imgur that is not sending images through FC. If you downloaded Firefox you need to install the addon that @vtac suggested and set it like I suggested so that you can see the imgur images embedded in FC. So again, nothing wrong with the post, its imgur and us finding a way to make our browsers display these images correctly with FC.

@t-dub Did you see my picture? I saw it. I think the app fixes any problems, it updated in January. I hope it's working? I just assume if I can see it it's OK. It's no longer a little blue box with a question mark.

The picture looks fine to me now because I adjusted Firefox to mirror back the host at imgur so it thinks I am there and not here. You may be seeing that picture from your cache and not through imgur. An easy test for you to see if its working is goto the GIF thread, or even earlier page in the Stash thread, after clearing all your temporary Internet files and cache and see if you can see anything from imgur there. I sincerely hope @vtac gets in touch with them and straightens this apparent "ban" out.

Firefox is a huge memory hog for me, Does anyone have a good plugin for Chrome to disable referrer by site?

Edit - Nevermind, I found one. Chrome has an extension called "Referer Control", but I can't figure out how to use it and get imgur images to show up again

To all those suggesting that imgur is disallowing embedding universally - no way. That's a massive part of why people use their site for hosting.

As stated it was only a theory, and one that large websites would use to reduce bandwidth temporarily while they fix stuff on the backend.

I have since confirmed this issue was limited to FC when I did a test on a personal blog and everything worked fine

I can post images from imgur over at GC but not here so I don't think the issue is my browser, eh?

 

[FlyingLow]

I am out of pics too
...good to be back, wish I could see more

This works for Opera users. I only checked Do Not Send Referer.

[DieHard]

Strange. I'm using iPad and iPhone and some of the images show up. If I hit "reply"., the images show up in the quote for my post. For now I just "reply", then select-all and delete. PITA but I can eventually see the images..

I don't know about Opera 27 or whatever the current version is, but Opera 12 (the last real Opera release) has a checkbox for turning off sending referrer information in Settings|Advanced|Network.

is it possible that somehow the forum software has changed what the referral link is looking like to imgur and its an automatic rejection because something isn't matching perfectly?

Very doubtful. This appears to be an intentional action by the Imgur staff

I don't think this problem is only with Imgur. Pics I've posted from Tinypics.com also come up blank. This indicates to me that the FC site has malfunctioned somehow. ???

 

[Delta3DStudios]

Well that's interesting......

Edit - tinypic test, does anyone see this:

 

[nihil]

I see it @Ratchett, FF and IE.

tinypic looks ok here

Thank you!

I see it.

It's a damn conspiracy! I blame W...

 

[Snappo]

If you hit Reply the pics appear in the Quote box???

 

[pakalolo]

Yes, and since that means they are in your cache they will also show up in the original post until they are cleared.

I have seen the other end of the referrer, other place, another time, and it only takes a single character to change to bump, if it's sending/referring different. Looks like malware to the server responding.

I'm still thinking something has happened in the forum image retrieval algorithm that is messing it up...

imgur is returning 403 forbidden responses to any request that contains a referrer of fuckcombustion.com. It's not clear to me that we've been singled out. A search turned up another forum that started having the same problem around the time we did: http://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/imgur-403-errors.329585/

That's another XenForo board, so it doesn't rule out the software yet.

Well I am not exactly sure, but I read in a comment that cannabis pictures are against the rules on imgur?

Maybe they are trying to block them from being shared here ...
