Ugh, that sucks. It really feels like imgur would prefer to just be its own environment where everyone goes to comment and vote on each other's pictures, rather than being useful to the rest of the internet.

Being useful to the rest of the internet has absolutely no potential revenue model for them. I'm frankly shocked that they've supported hotlinking media for as long as they have; pretty much every other large image host has closed up shop or banned hotlinking.

Being a social media site at least gets people onto their pages, which have ads embedded in them, which can generate some money.

FWIW, I'm trying to upload an image to Imgur on my desktop and it doesn't seem to be added to my uploads, none of the buttons on the page work, and clicking on the share links is giving me

Is the shortcut for bookmarks still in widgets? I can't find it. I'm using the last beta for nova launcher 8.0.14 beta on MIUI 14.

Your SA password has been found in some data breach. You should probably change it on the forums (the app does not have that functionality), and probably also in all the other places that you're using this password.


Just to make it clear, the app does not save your password and does not send it anywhere else than to the forums to login you in.

How in the gently caress do you manually upload with the imgur app and get a bbcode tag for it?

I'm the Imgur app click on the 'copy url' button

Then in the Awful app you paste the URL into the 'insert image' field. This generates the BB code for you.

It's easy to do, just painful going between apps.

That happens to me but it's normally because there are tons of twitter links and pics but I just leave it 5-10 seconds so it can load properly

All of a sudden twitch embeds are autoplaying, which just scared the bejesus out of me by 4 overlapping old spice commercials starting up simultaneously. Even does it with minimized already-read posts.

Hidden imgur uploads work but there's no obvious way to see them in the app. You have to tap on this header which is not an obvious button to switch to hidden.



On the mobile website the buttons are way more obvious.



On a related note, is the Add File Attachment supposed to work with posting images? I can attach but I don't see a way to use the attachment inline. Example attached.

Only registered members can see post attachments!

Do you mean when you click "... - > add file attachment"? As far as I can see, it shows up at the bottom of your post and you can't edit it. Though I see some code when I quote your post.

Oh man, have you guys mastered the imgur app somehow? Because if so I need to plead for you help because I have got nowhere with it.

I manage to get as far as this screen:



And then i tap "Post". That immediately takes me to this screen:



...and there's no indication that anything has happened. Did it upload? where did it go? how do i see it? Mysteries for the ages. I can't fathom it.

I did check my user account's Posts tab to see if it appeared there but... the only images that appear there are the above two screenshots. Which I emailed to myself and uploaded to imgur from my computer :rolleyes:

That happened to me the first time I used it, seems to be working okay, now.

But also, did you try this: (?)

Also, i find getting the url to the image itself annoying.

Tap on the image you want to share.
Tap on it a second time.
Then hit the share button with the correct link.

If you hit the share button on the first screen, it seems to only give you the url to the imgur page, not the image itself.
