[Script] Fix broken Imgur images forum-wide (client only)

[TryNinja]

Imgur images are broken on the forum, so people are moving to other providers (such as TalkImg.com by @joker_josue). If you want to permanently fix your posts, you can use my script that goes through your post history and reuploads all images to TalkImg + edits your posts: [Script] Imgur to TalkImg - automatically fix your broken images

But you can't expect everyone to do the same, so you will probably come across broken images from Imgur.

This script temporarily fixes this by making your browser load Imgur.com images directly instead of using the forum's native image proxy (which doesn't work with imgur anymore).

How to use it:

1. Download the Tampermonkey or ViolentMonkey extension for PC, Kiwi Browser for Android.
2. Install the script: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/466302-fix-bitcointalk-imgur-images

Source code


Important: If you can, you should still try my other script (Imgur to TalkImg) or update your images manually. Remember that, for everyone else, the images will still be broken (unless they also use this script). Ditch Imgur and move to another image hosting provider!

After



After installing the script, refresh this page. If you can see the image below, then it's working:

There are also some similarly named third party sites whose images are not there.  Not sure if its the actual images or the websites (or both) are gone, but it might pay to look at porting all legacy images and temp fixing broken links of these other sites at some point soon.

I tried using this script as temporary solution until TalkImg is fixed, but it's not working correctly for me.
Invalid image notification is not shown (I can see it for one second than it's gone) but I don't see anything because all images are removed from my posts, and I tried testing with different posts and topics.
Note that I am not using any adblocker in bitcointalk forum, so we can exclude that option for creating problems.
