Workaround for Imgur Images Not Loading (Chrome & Firefox)

Nice works for me thank you.

So Imgur is busted. Could I get a recommendation for a host to switch to?

I use PicServer.  It is free and forum friendly.  I use it for tumblr too.

Works great thx, just remove the http:// before imgur.com if you still have problems.

This works well, though I messed things up initially. I didn't notice the whole "Normal" vs "Block" buttons in green and red.

 

Attached is what I ended up doing visually, for those who may not get it from reading the thread text like me(at least initially).

You may have noticed that some imgur embedded images do not load, but if you go directly to the imgur url, the image will be there.

This is because imgur has blocked images from being embedded on LoversLab, or linked to from LoversLab.

 

Here's the workaround:

 

Chrome:

 

Install this extension: Referer Control

 

Right click the icon to the top right corner and click settings

 

Set the settings as shown in the screenshot

imgur.com | [to] | [block]

 

edit: Do enable the [3rd] option so you can still log into Imgur.

 

Firefox:

 

Install this addon: RefControl

 

Go to about:addons (type it in the address bar)

 

Follow the instructions in the screenshot

RefControl>Options>Add Site

 

Site:imgur.com

Action:Block

 

Ok

 

edit: Do enable the "3rd party only" option so you can still log into Imgur.

This is genius. Thank you.

Most recent version of Firefox doesn't support this add on anymore. Is there something else we can do?
