I lost the track of that topic. Did theymos introduce any of the options that we discussed there?
I did not followed it up but weeks ago, I saw images in my threads shown again and guessed theymos did something.
In fact, checking his posts today, he did not change anything.
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?
It lasted a few days and images returned to be invalid. Also another issue

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.
