I was about to update my thread by replacing the broken imgur images, but found out that all of them have been restored. Seems imgur guys have realized that most of their users are from bitcointalk and reddit. I hope there will be no change again on imgur so it saves my time to update all of the unrestored images for my clients. However I prefer to use talkimg instead, at least for now, to avoid double effort if someday imgur makes another joke in future.
Imgir problem caused a lot of effect on this forum. If it wasn't restored then all Bitcointalk members would have chosen Talkimg and everyone would have focused on talkimg and Imbb. but now that Imgur is restore maybe everyone will use it mostly again. I don't understand if imgur had this as a joke. Or they ran into this problem while adding a new feature. but imgur will move all over again for it to be fixed again
It seems you haven't kept up to date. Imgur's problem is fixed but it is restricted from bitcointalk. newly you can't post any Imgur link in bitcointalk. so in this case talkimg.com is widely used now. You can try to post any imgur link here but it won't be posted. I think you get it now.
The reason for doing so is that the forum was experiencing a lot of problems due to imgur's problems. So Theymos banned it
Yes i seen Theymos suggest Talkimg himself. i am also using talkimg from now.
I think that what it is is that imgur added a new very restrictive per-IP limit on image downloads. So all ip.bitcointalk.org requests are blocked, but even many Tor exit nodes are being blocked, for example.
I'm not going to attempt to play some cat-and-mouse game with imgur, so people will just have to use a different service such as TalkImg.
