Keeping this up so others can have a reference for now since I'm sure it's a widespread problem (though if it needs to be deleted, I understand)

In the mean time link to how to solve this problem (Thank you xSevenRedSuns!)


Original Post

Hello. I tested this across Firefox, Google Chrome, and Safari, all showed the same issue.

Images hosted on Imgur are no longer appearing correctly for me, instead displaying their alt text. I attempted to clear my cache as well as a hard refresh, neither solved this issue.

This seems to be a problem -- at least for me -- in clan profiles, dragon bios, and in the forums

Checking the images that I personally host on imgur, they are all still there on that profile, so it would seem to be an issue with the translation linking the two.

Not sure what the issue here is, nor if there is a solution considering that it is a third-party site.

I'm having the same issue! It's really frustrating because I really like using the images to decorate my dragon bios but Tumblr images seem to be unaffected Here's what it looks like ↓ [img]https://64.media.tumblr.com/a1ea9520d3c037751edad4b498fffba8/60fd03b9ac643b29-1d/s1280x1920/1209ee181d4117f6ead49e048a2c5d93a24f5163.png[/img]

@GlueKaiju

Thank you for sharing a screenshot! I was going to do the same thing, but alas imgur is the only image hosting site I can use and therefore... you know... can't lmao

But yes, this is very frustrating, all of my bios are decorated with images and -- more importantly -- all of my art is as well :/

[center]@Ruedile @DragonJade @GlueKaiju I see the broken images you have in your signatures. Basically, it's not working because you're trying to "image" a link to the album, not the actual image link. Could be caused by Imgur changing the way it hosts images, but I don't really know anything about that. Here's where I grabbed the actual image link + manually applied the link to Forums, but you don't need to do that; I wanted to show that the images are not broken: [img]https://i.imgur.com/oQkRxoy.gif[/img] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2590236][img]https://i.imgur.com/oQkRxoy.gif[/img][/url] [b]Code:[/b] [code][img]https://i.imgur.com/oQkRxoy.gif[/img] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/cc/2590236][img]https://i.imgur.com/oQkRxoy.gif[/img][/url][/code] [b]Fix:[/b][/center] [LIST] [*]Right click the image/alt text/whatever it shows instead of the image, [*]"Open image in a new tab", [*]You're now on the Imgur album page, [*]Right-click the image, [*]"Copy image [b]ADDRESS[/b]" (not just [i]copy image[/i], that won't work) [*]Put that address in your code within the (img) brackets. The image link has to start with [b]i.imgur[/b]. [/LIST] [center]The images should work just fine that way! Hope this fixes the issues for you all [emoji=aberration happy size=1][/center]

Fix:
  • Right click the image/alt text/whatever it shows instead of the image,
  • "Open image in a new tab",
  • You're now on the Imgur album page,
  • Right-click the image,
  • "Copy image ADDRESS" (not just copy image, that won't work)
  • Put that address in your code within the (img) brackets. The image link has to start with i.imgur.

The images should work just fine that way! Hope this fixes the issues for you all

Seconding the above method. My images suddenly stopped working, but I did this method, and now my images show. Still broken looking at everyone else's images though.

Edit; adding that it wasn't just FR that I had to fix my images on. My Toyhouse profiles had to be fixed too, so this might be an Imgur issue in general.

this is very interesting because I'm seeing some images correctly, but not everything.
  • my own signature looks fine to me. does it look fine to everyone else, too?
  • in Ruedile's signature, I see the little clouds but not the other images
  • in art threads, I see some images but not all of them. for example I see the images in the Flameforgers skin contest thread correctly
  • Amarii's bio looks mostly okay to me, but one image (the badge that should be above the 'second prize winner' text) is missing, which tells me that it's unlikely that my browser's cache is responsible for showing me the correct images

Firefox, Windows 10, Ublock Origin installed

I hope this data helps to narrow down the issue

(EDIT) nevermind, I see another user above has found a solution! the images I saw as broken in other places may simply have been removed.

↑ I cleared my browser data (cookies and site data) thinking that was the issue but it wasn't. The solution that user @/xSevenRedSuns made does work, even on mobile devices, but it works differently because on my device I didn't have the copy link address for some reason when I visited imgur; I just had to add it manually. You can use it with or without the link and it'll work fine. No link addresses↓ [img]https://imgur.com/C1E0fXU.gif[/img] Image broken :( Link addresses↓ [Url=https://imgur.com/C1E0fXU][img]https://i.imgur.com/C1E0fXU.gif[/img][/url] (With link) Or [img]https://i.imgur.com/C1E0fXU.gif[/img] (Without link) Working ^^ Remember to put i.imgur at the front (I came back August 21st and now it works? Bruh moment)
