Workaround for Imgur Images Not Loading (Chrome & Firefox)

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

Thanks, but i already switch to postimage.org (now all Imgur staff can fuck themself in the ass)

 

Good night  ^_^

 

Yeah, I agree we should switch to a different host. This is mainly for going back and viewing the stuff that was already posted.

Bisk it should go opposite. Change from normal to block. Trust me, I tried your suggestion and it didn't work.

The only problem with using "block" for imgur is that I can't log in to the imgur site.

Oh yeah, should probably also turn on the "3rd party only" option.

I guess you misunderstood me.

 

I mean, if you know how long the image will stay uploaded there, because I saw hostingpages which delete the files/images after a few months and then there is just a broken link left.

You are awesome.

Well this only enables the pictures in my browser, but other users still can't see them.
Apparently you can somewhat fix your links by adding a "h" at the end of the link before the extension, example:

jkASFD0.png  -->  jkASFD0h.png
 
This will replace the real image with the compressed "huge thumbnail", better than nothing i guess. Certainly i'm not going to re-upload hundreds of pics from the older posts.





_______
edit: crap, seems like this doesn't work either. Browser cache was playing a prank on me, it doesn't load at all on another PC.
Do they seriously not even allow hotlinking a thumbnail? What's the purpose of IMGUR then?

 

I just tried this:

 

 

[url= <IMAGE URL> ][img= <THUMBNAIL URL> ][/url]

 

And not even that works. Fuck it then.

I would add that you can add a filter for i.imgur.com for those images linked via imgur by some users. This fixed some images not showing. (I think that was it anyway).
