I am trying to link an image from my Imagur account. I have done it before and managed to link images into a story on the site.


However, when I try to do THE EXACT SAME THING that I did before now, for some reason I get a message that says it "could not load image" or something of the sort. That, or the update attempt refuses to update at all.
Just to be 100% sure... You're using a direct link to the image, right?

As in... If you try linking this:
Code:
https://imgur.com/gallery/toOJaTh
into your story, then it won't work.

This however:
Code:
https://i.imgur.com/uNLTAap.jpeg
should work just fine~

Ok, so those were 2 different addresses. This makes it a little harder to follow whether it's just the removal of the "gallery" portion and adding of a .jpeg, or if you had to get the image address from somewhere else. Can you please clarify?

Both link to the same image, try copy pasting the links and you'll see it (I just grabbed a random image from imgur's frontpage).

Imgur has different URLs for the page that an image is in, and for the image itself. What you need is the latter.

Direct links to the images will always start with
Code:
i.imgur.com
btw, instead of
Code:
imgur.com
so if you're using any link that starts with "imgur.com", then it won't work.

To get the direct image link, just right click in whatever image you wanna post, and then click on "Copy Image Link", it should give you the "i.imgur.com" URL if you do that.

Ok, thank you very much. I finally got this to work.
