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.
Hmm, Really good idea, I got your Tag alet last day, I was purely using the Imgur for a long time and their sudden change in policy really impacted my posts for some of the Important topics I've updated the Images for the rest I'm not sure is it good to update them or not.
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.
Hmm, I've gone through this topic and found it helping but never tried haha, I'll manually update the posts from which I'll get tagged. Becasue almost most of topics which are still active and showing some good response in past I've updated the Links.
