It has been months since that issue caused massive display problems on Bitcointalk. There are some solutions from other image hosting websites or from forum community members.

Your concern is the same as that of many and this is getting worse by the day, I hope there will be a lasting solution to it. The images on Imgur still work perfectly with other sites and forums I know, I just don't know the issue that is causing good images to be invisible here. It was first the most popular Imgur and now about 4 other hosting sites are off and on.
I was shocked yesterday evening that formerly shown images from "Postimages.org" were no longer visible, all good images were gone just like that. But on checking again now, they are visible again. It calls for concern.

Thanks for the suggestion, it is obviously one of the reasons why talkimg.com was created in the very first place. To be in fact there are too many threads regarding this — google is your friend.

Poll on solving the imgur issue
Theymos have discuss about this before and until now there's no improvement despite most users pick the second choice.
LoyceV also have created a thread [get yours] Images from imgur + All links to your own posts to get images from imgur.
Asking the @OP to update the topic has no guarantee the @OP will do that especially if they're not active anymore.

I have come across a lot of informative threads on This forum with a lot of important information about the crypto space especially Bitcoin.Over the years a lot of these threads have been created of which most of them were guides amongst many other categories like updates or analysis data.however it was so unfortunate that some of these threads were created during the period when imgur was used to upload images on the forum and due to the imgur server problem on the forum, most of these images turned out to be broken.
Although TalkImg was used as a replacement for imgur most of these old images were still left broken making some of these old threads lose their simplicity as those images served as a form of additional information or illustration in these threads.
Ever since I frequently began coming across these threads with broken images two questions have always been on my mind which are;
Since these broken images still have their links in the threads, these links can be taken and used to download the the original images from imgur. After which they can then be re uploaded to TalkImg.these newly uploaded links can then be sent to Ops to update the respective posts.
This is a proposition that I intend on doing if necessary I suggest that forum moderators and other higher rank members select quality posts that deserve editing with respect to Their images so I can carry out the re-uploading and sending of the new links to the OP's of the respective threads.
The main assistance I would need is selection of quality threads especially from main boards.
Your opinion about this suggestion would be very much appreciated.

- What caused imgur crash?
- Is there a way to fix these broken images?
