trouble with imgur since the change (last week, recent trouble with imgur not P99)

[AzzarTheGod]

can't get the BBcode link (or any links for that matter), it won't show me any of the code options and its only showing me the embedded code option along with the direct link.

Example, see these options under the desktop website tab?

https://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/articles/210076673-Share-Posts-to-Imgur

Those do not exist for me as of 10-14 days or so ago. Why is this? Do you need to sign up and make an account to get access to all of the code options now?

Its been frustrating me to troubleshoot, as the information isn't available anywhere.

Yeah they moved it to somewhere in upper left. Don't recall off hand, but check the stuff up there and you will find it.

I don't think it does any more. Like my gallery images only show a direct link, all the html, bb, etc. nowhere to be seen.

Oh there is. "Get share links".

For bb? It's the same, just tagged. I'm only seeing the option from my galleries though, after tapping once on the image (I'm on my tablet atm, but not in mobile mode)and a dialog pops up with that option.

[Daywolf]

Just hit quote and note the difference. I've edited the format before, it works. It wont pull up the dialog for me off of other peoples images.

I usually only load the site if I'm messing with my uploads/galleries, otherwise I just get links from google advanced image search pointed at imgur. So thats about the best I know of the imgur changes.

[fash]

Right click image -> Copy Image Address/Link.

They removed the direct image link as far as I can tell.

[georgie]

I don't even know.. can't get it to work on my pc, but somehow I got it on my laptop

[Baler]

recently on imgur if I'm uploading an image via URL. I have to visit the imgur image link,. Then copy the image location. If I just copy the image location directly after uploading it copies the original url.
Then I either click insert image on the tools bar and paste in the imgur link or add the [ img ] tags myself.

[big_ole_jpn]

u just copy image link and tag it in ur post

what is your major malfunction

[R Flair]

not true. I uploaded two images, attempted to link both on forums. 1 worked, the other did not.

[barrettdc1]

was one of those "images" a mp4 or *not* a .gif?

yea I cant hotlink a direct link.

it seems to have to be converted to a bbcode version first, as daywolf said you can manually edit the format of the direct link with the I. at the beginning and get a working result it seems.

basically they just added an extra waste of time to imgur for no reason by taking the BBCode off the front page. now its behind 2-3 mouse clicks.

those are all I. format. of course they work, they are BBcode ready links.....

how are you obtaining them? u must be using a higher operating system to "copy lmage link".

I think that's the disconnect here.

No, jesus dude its just literally this. UPLOAD YOUR IMAGE TO IMGUR. THEN RIGHT CLICK IT. AND CLICK "COPY IMAGE ADDRESS". THATS IT! YOU DID IT!!!

[R Flair]

I tried this last night with an image, did not work. I tried it with and without i, with and without file extension, and even tried old and new bbcode and it would not load the image.

Today it worked first try.

Something is amiss.

[barrettdc1]

they way i've been doing it has worked BEFORE and AFTER the fucking changes to the imgur site. I upload an image from my PC. then i right click the motherfucker. I click COPY IMAGE ADDRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!! THEN WHEN I COME TO THES FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT FORUMS I PUT SOME IMG TAGS UP AND PRES CONTROL V!!! YOu knoow, PASTE!!! ITS THAT FUCKING EASY. IF YOU CANT FIGURE THIS OUT, YOU"RE A FUCKING IDIOT!

Likely were server problems. The i. is a sub-domain. Some sort of processing sub-server that performs an operation on the database servers, my guess.

[barrettdc1]

yea i'm fucking annoyed that i'm having to explain how to fucking post a picture from imgur onto goblin town 2016 message boards when NOTHING has changed in the way its done despite the "COSMETIC" upgrades to the site. People need to learn to mother fucking internet for fucks sake.

[AzzarTheGod]

So you admit to using Windows 8.1+ then?

Copy image address isn't a Windows 7 thing.

[barrettdc1]

Uhhh yes it is. I'm using Windows 7. Maybe its a google chrome thing.

[AzzarTheGod]

no fucking way I am upgrading to 8.1 or 10.

not unless forced by lack of DX support etc.

[R Flair]

Copy image address is a browser thing. Both firefox and chrome support it.

[barrettdc1]

Azzar dont tell me you using IE. PLZ

[AzzarTheGod]

Uhhh yes it is. I'm using Windows 7. Maybe its a google chrome thing.

so you admit you have automatic updates turned on then? and have updated windows 7 within the last few months with the windows 10 rollout?

many changes went through, I shut updates off around that time to protect my system as there was severe instability issues PC shutting off instantly without warning or bluescreen etc....rolled back, shut updates down, problem solved.

every time it would update it would develop this problem is how I isolated it to a windows 7 update push during the windows 10 rollout.

[AzzarTheGod]

Azzar dont tell me you using IE. PLZ

firefox was hijacked by some kind of extremely malicious malware a couple months back, I had to isolated the entire process and uninstall firefox permanently.

no issues with classic un-upgraded IE yet.

I guess we solved why I don't have this right click option.

[R Flair]

Things have changed tho. You used to be able to go straight to the link provided in imgur and drop it in img tags and have your image display.

Now you have to right click and get the address for it to work. They are two very different addresses.

No. You want to know how fucking old my windows 7 is? Its fucking 32 bit. I downloaded this shit like 8 years ago when I built this computer I'm running. YES I"M RUNNING AN 8+ YEAR OLD FUCKING COMPUTER WITH AN AMD ATHLON X2 240 2.8 Ghz!!!! DUAL CORE!!!!! AND ITS PIRATED!!!! AUTO UPDATES HAVE NEVER ONCE BEEN TURNED ON!!!!

[R Flair]

I'm still using the windows 7 I downloaded when it first launched, but its at least 64 bit.

This is an accurate post. I think imgur wanted a way to filter traffic somehow, no other explanation for doing this.

dang dude.... this post has gotta be just for lolz, right? :o (I'm not speaking of the CPU)
But you didn't beat ATG's epic post of IE usage there :D

ok ur trolling now, good for u, doesn't change the fact that you kicked this line of discussion off by being a baddy

[Daywolf]

I'm still using the windows 7 I downloaded when it first launched, but its at least 64 bit.I did at the end of last month, and did clean installs. You have six days left to decide if you are going to take the crappy free winX upgrade/downgrade. Nah, it's not bad, but Ubuntu or something might be a better choice at this point, or even on a dual boot. Of course someone on a win7 32bit, most anything is definitely an improvement with a newer OS.

I actually used to be able to dual boot Ubuntu, but i just didn't see any reason for it. I haven't used it or any other linux in probably 5+ years, but at that time Ubuntu was the best and I still thought it was inferior to even winXP in virtually every way possible.

I thiiink Ubuntu is considered 2nd or 3rd best now, but just minor differences. 5yrs, yeah that's a long time. Just depends what you do with it, much like Android is a Linux kernel and you do Android stuff with it, as well as some emulation now.

Security is my main concern, support, then ease of use. For some, that's reversed (ode to early versions of Widow Maker (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window_Maker) and Blackbox (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackbox) hehe - imo HLFS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_From_Scratch) best). But Ubuntu (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(operating_system)) has come a long way with ease of use as well as support by/for Linux in general. Security has always been there. Like I can launch the Steam app (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve) from Ubuntu and play my favorite games all natively. Not all games, but oddly all my fav Steam games have Linux support now. You can see what games are supported from the steam store page, will have a Steam Play icon next to the Windows or Mac icon. Then Ubuntu has their own Google Play style system now, called Ubuntu Software Center. Outside of native app support, the windows emulator has made a lot of progress, most stuff runs.

Microsoft's Windows 10 upgrades are getting even more sneaky-pushy (http://www.cnet.com/news/microsoft-windows-10-upgrades-get-more-sneaky-pushy/)
Fearing forced Windows 10 upgrades, users are disabling critical updates instead (http://www.pcworld.com/article/3075729/windows/fearing-forced-windows-10-upgrades-users-are-disabling-critical-updates-at-their-own-risk.html)

Ubuntu tour hehe:

Why I still use win7. With Vulkan getting more popular, I don't even see win10 (new directx) being necessary here soon.

For as long as they allow you to I guess. That end of life cycle may come much more quickly now than it did for XP. Yeah that's what I upgraded windows from, 7 to 10. Have had no problems with it after setting it up right/fine tuning, disabling or uninstalling certain things etc.

[Nihilist_santa]

I have a desktop similar to barrets but its the single core 3.2ghz cpu lol. I use my laptop for most shit but play older games on the desktop. Anyways since I upgraded the desktop to windows 10 the pc keeps shutting off by itself at random. Ive changed power settings and sleep settings and everything but it still does it. I can turn the pc on and go pour some coffee and its in some kind of sleep mode when I return. Any suggestions?

[Daywolf]

You turn hibernate off from the command prompt. There was a menu setting for it, but it didn't seem to stop it, did the same to me. I did this: http://www.cnet.com/how-to/how-to-enable-or-disable-hibernate-in-windows-10/

[Nihilist_santa]

Thanks will give that a try.

imgur is dying even though it's one of the biggest imagehosts it needs a way to get revenue, there's zero revenue and only expenses allowing direct hotlinking... they want to make it as difficult as possible to find the direct link, they want to you to link to the imgur page which displays the image but also a lot of junk around it wrapping it with ads which potentially could generate revenue.

will it become photobucket 2.0?

[AzzarTheGod]

Why I still use win7. With Vulkan getting more popular, I don't even see win10 (new directx) being necessary here soon.

I hope so. The only thing that would force an upgrade from me is the Directx incompatibility. I already hit some pseudo-incompatibility with Direct3D 11.2-3 in the latest Hitman game with a framerate of about 0.5. I guess some state of the art games are being designed with very little backwards compatibility with hardware and drivers from 2013. It was Vanguard launch all over again.

Vulkan doesn't support my AMD situation, I'd have to swap cards.
