It looks like imgur is no longer blocking the image proxy. I didn't change anything on the forum's end, so imgur must've loosened up their limits. I guess it's not necessary to convert img images into links as long as imgur keeps working. But to prevent this from happening again, you'll get an error if you try to embed imgur images in posts from now on.
I'd like to create a page which recommends services for hosting forum images, and mention this in the error message you get when you try to use imgur. Other than TalkImg, which ones are good?
After I had problems with imgur (well before this problem on the forum), I used
imgbb and never had any problems whatsoever.
I vote this service as a good recommendation besides talkimg
Not sure why but the last time I used imgbb, my images became smaller and had no idea to keep the original size lol.
After you hit the upload button you can chose one of these option below, and of of them is a thumbnail. I wonder if that is it.
