Why is IMGUR so janky?

18.7k F104Deathtrap  4.6 years ago

I am not trying to criticize this website or IMGUR I just want to understand why I get so many broken links when I try to embed images in my posts on here. YES, I know about the https/http issue but despite removing the s my results are still mixed at best.

What's going on? Is there something I'm doing wrong?

    Imgur has actually for some reason blocked requests that have the origin marked as from this site. When you set the protocol to http, the browser recognises that it's communicating on an insecure channel, and so doesn't actually provide the "origin" field as it normally would, I guess for security/privacy reasons in case anyone's eavesdropping. But as a side-effect of that, imgur doesn't know the request is coming from a page on this site so doesn't block it. HTTP links have their own problems, and I don't recommend them since they cause security warnings in browsers. I'd just recommend you use a different image host, like the ones below or just post it to discord and link from there.

    i never use imgur, because it had happened to me all the time. I use the website "imgbb", which is fairly stable and reliable.

    Try Using Discord Images Instead. It's 10x Easier.
