We had thousands of broken image links after Imgur stopped working on the forum. Many users have replaced their old links and migrated to other services, like TalkImg. But there are still many images to fix. I didn't do anything with my old Imgur images until two days ago when I decided to try TryNinja's Imgur to TalkImg script. Everything has been corrected now.

Well, I partially agree with your suggestion of fixing it "manually". I wish to have it fixed automatically. Although we have been waiting for theymos to take some action, it looks like 'Do Nothing' has been selected, which I also agree with.
Tagging someone and requesting them to fix the broken images is a good idea, but it would be better if we tag and share the link to the particular post/topic that has broken images.
For example, I want
@Hamza2424 to fix the broken images in
the posts https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=232519.msg61568821#msg61568821.
That's why I love TryNinja's "Single Topic" version.
This is the simplest and fastest solution to broken images. It will not update any of your old posts that you don't want to be touched. It will stay on a single page, and only the posts on that particular page will be updated.
"Single Topic" versionGet the code here:
https://gist.github.com/ninjastic/59bde80306c32153a5775b9a570b16b7Run it on any topic and all images posted by you will be updated.
IMPORTANT: only images that are shown on the screen! This means that if you are on page 1, the script won't update the images on page 2. You can use the ;all page on the forum to make all posts show up all at once (probably won't work properly if the topic is huge?).
