is it just me or posted images that were uploaded on Imgur, copied the BBcode in order to post here suddenly became "invalid"? this might be a dumb question, but anyone has any idea what was the reason for it?
sorry if the thread is unnecessary.

I just have noticed that too. All of my previously uploaded images are showing as invalid. I can't even access any of the images through the direct link. That's a mess. I don't even have access to most of the images. Damn! Well, you can use talkimg.com as this is a dedicated hosting by community member joker jossue. I have been using the site for the last few days.

The problem is probably from imgur. Their site now automatically redirects from the old domain imgur.com to imgur.io
Not sure why the did this but yes indeed the images with the imgur.com link are not showing in the forum.

Another reason in favor of @joker_josue's talkimg.com hosting... Pretty much all my images are broken since I used imgur for everything. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Maybe theymos can do some magic on his proxy backend so it automatically changes imgur.com to imgur.io before fetching the image?

are you perhaps using a smartphone? I searched imgur.com using a PC and it still brings me to imgur.com but when I use my smartphone and searched Imgur.com it brings me to imgur.io. also, if I use the URL from the BBCODE provided by Imgur on the address bar it still brings me to the image that was uploaded on their website.

https://talkimg.com/images/2023/05/14/blob6c80a991112ef50e.pngOn the browser the above link works fine. Try yourself. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ibb.co%2FjVL6XCd%2FYJ20JpI.png&t=665&c=k8RAaxXoadQN_Q) This is on imgBB. The whole things make me guess that imgur no longer wants bitcointalk users to host their images on the site. Forget about imgur from today.

imgBB is a good alternative to imgur but they dont save your image permanently which it will disappear after few weeks. Well yeah referring to current situation, imgur ain't better though. If the issue stays same I might try talkimg.com then.

Base on your question let me said your images was written invalid in the bitcointalk because the image has been removed from imgur website. This made me to do some research on the net and I found out that Imgur to ban explicit images and delete uploads not tied to an account, then if that is the case bitcointalk forum users should use alternative mean of uploading pictures here. Images here is needed to be permanent to be viewing whenever the thread has arrived.

The last time I used imgBB couple years ago, iirc there was no option for autodelete. I'll give a try then and hopefully imgur would fix the issue.

Actually I was about to upload some image and found the error, then I went to Meta to see if it's only me who having the issue and found this thread. Imgur dont remove the old pics only, but also dont allow us to upload pics here. Seems seeking an alternative is the best way from now. Imgur has been acting weird since they renew its look and keep asking us to buy premium account.

I just saw this issue in gambling section but now I see whole forum is affected by this. For some of my older topics I used Imgur for hosting images and they all work fine so maybe it is something to do with new uploads only. Is there any way we can fix this or we have to upload all images again?

Pretty much all my images are broken since I used imgur for everything. ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) To OP, check here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5450546.0It's a good time to start using the service, the best thing is that the user Joker created it mainly to not have the images broken after a certain time. By default the "Don't autodelete" is selected which means they will not delete it. I have been using it frequently without any problem from long time.
I was also using imgbb before talkimg. I used to have problems using imgur that I never found out what it was, some topics that I created, at the moment I posted, the image wouldn't show up, and in imgbb I never had these problems. It is also a great option.

Yeah, that reminds me. I tried uploading some image weeks ago and it was taking for ever to load. Just now to verify what's going on based on the information in OP, I couldn't even access my posted images. I get the message; "Java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException Trust anchor for certificate path not found" Literally, I seem to get an understanding to what it means but, is this the issue with the rest of you guys? What could account for this and is there a means to rectify what's going on here or is it about the imgur site itself having issues. Other sites works just fine though and we got a forum dedicated image posting site by Joker_J.

I don't know the real reason why this is happening but this is perfect time for everyone to make a switch and use TalkImg.com made by our forum member joker_josue. This will be my main image uploader from now on and even Theymos liked joker_josue initiative for creating this website, another member already created script that works with this website.

I could be speculating, but It looks like Imgur has changed their terms of service. This involves removal of explicit content and "old, unused, and inactive content that is not tied to a user account from their platform" according to a TechCrunch article. In addition to explicit images, Imgur is also removing old and unused photos that are not tied to an account. As a Twitter user noted, Imgur has been used for years to upload photos without an account and post links to different kinds of sites. Removing those images might result in a lot of dead links all over the internet. The changes are going to take effect this Month on the 15th. That's just 3 days away, so I believe they started blocking proxies? I think Theymos has to think about the forum being able to self-host images if it's possible, away from using third party image hosting sites that keep changing their terms of service every day

Not all images are invalid. Perhaps some different reasons to make images valid or invalid from imgur.com. I could be speculating, but It looks like Imgur has changed their terms of service.

That's just 3 days away, so I believe they started blocking proxies? It is a terrible rule update from imgur.com. With this change, I guess in future they will force people to pay money for image hosting. It's all about money at the end. Years ago, they allowed to upload images with Tor but changed it and now, more terrible changes. Time to move from imgur to other sites.

sorry if the thread is unnecessary.
The thread is necessary and I believe all the forum users that usually upload images on Imgur online image hosting website have encountered the exact issue at some point but to prevent this from happening in the future why do you make use of the image hosting website which was designed for BitcoinTalk and the entire community by joker_josue. I think just a suggestion though. Edit** I can see that user already say something about it.

Can you point out some of the image links from imgur that are showing well in the forum? Because I just checked my post history and from the few that I have seen, I believe all images that are hosted on Imgur are having the image proxy error. I have been uploading mine on Imgur this entire time, and it hurts if they are going to delete everything. Images hosted on other sites like imgbb are OK.

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.
