I'm afraid that the only bandaid solution made by Loyce and Tryninja is the only way to recover and fix those broken links, manually. It's only theymos can do the most, like to make a script for the whole bitcointalk that will use like what Tryninja's script do. This may require lots of time since the post numbers are already in 62M count.

theymos created a poll for it and five months passed, no final decision and solution is made.

Poll on solving the imgur issue

He made two posts in that topic and you can join discussion if you want.

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?

This also means old posts can no longer be edited without replacing the image links (I just tested it).

It's based on the message ID. Posts before roughly when I posted that can be edited without updating the imgur links.
