Did Something Change With Imgur?
Been using Imgur for years now to post pics here but as of yesterday it will no longer let me.

Anyone know what’s going on?

You try to upload content and it does nothing or you can't find them? Accessing my images has changed for me lately, "Images" button is no longer right there. I have to ferret around to find them now.

I think free photo hosting is nearing its end.

I’ve used ImageShack for years. $20/year (5¢/day). Hosts avatars. Other nice features too.


Serious about crackers.

It uploads but the links don’t work

Here’s what I’ve been doing. I make a “post” which I think posts it to Imgur. To post, I upload the image. After I upload the image, I click on Delete Post. It deletes the post on Imgur but saves the pic to your library. I click on the picture and get embed codes I think by clicking on the three dots in the upper right corner.


"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

yes they made a change, you can get to the old images page where you can see all your images and link to them. You still upload as normal from a PC or phone using the app.

I had the same problem, found a "revert to classic layout" or something like that and it worked again

Yep just saw that, good catch, when you go to the webpage on the lower right it will let you go back to classic, click it, you'll get a popup asking why, select whatever you want it doesn't matter.

You'll be back to the old page, you can click on your name and the Images option pops up, and you are back to the normal page with your pictures.
