Thanks for information. I planned to replace some of my imgur links with talkimg links. Not all, because big part of these my post isn't relevant anymore. So, seems that I will not have to do it, I'll keep old imgur links.
theymos disabled adding new images, but it's not problem at all when we have alternative, which maybe even better than imgur.

It was a very serious case that some people who don't even have access to their image again apart from on the Bitcointalk forum were really thinking of how they could get back those pictures to reupload them again, because I saw that there was no user I ever came across who gave a fuck about the error images; they were just there. Although most of my images do not have those errors because I did not use Imgur to host them, but it's good imgur chosed to restore back to the old domain; otherwise, they would have lost a lot of customers, and perhaps some people are already making their choices for Talkimg.com to improve their image.
They tried hardly to be a new 9gag and ignored the fact that most people were just using their service as image hosting only.
Please, apart from image hosting, what other services does imgur offer? 
I don't even bother to browse the site let alone to create an account. I knew them through this forumAs far as I know, Imgur still primarily focuses on image hosting, and it remains one of the most popular image hosting sites on the internet. But in recent years, they also include video hosting, community features such as commenting and upvoting, and the ability to create memes using their built-in meme generator tool. Imgur also has a messaging feature that allows users to share images and videos privately with others.

So I thought imgur is no longer allowed to be used to post image on forum since theymos made his new rules, and now talkimg and imgbb are the solution.
Oops! That's a harsh decision on them from theymos, but I have nothing to say than they deserve it.Yeah. They were the standard for a long time, and I used them frequently on this site. But considering the recent problems, I support this decision.
Thank for the news, jayce. Of course now all my images are displaying properly [especially those on imgur]. So far I've used other image hosting services instead of imgur since they created some mess for forum users. They lost a lot of visitors and that has made their site traffic go down, but that is not our responsibility.
And now that theymos have prevented us from using imgur, it's worth it.

This is indeed a very good news for the Bitcointalk community. Imagining going through some old topics posted many years back and not been able to grasp the information that is been passed because of imgur broken images.
From the business perspective imgur tend to loose more because they lost the traffic that they would have generated from our forum members and other platforms the stop supporting. Also, they have tarnish their image as users will start resorting to other image hosting sites. Thank God we now have our own image hosting site created by a forum member.

However I prefer to use talkimg instead, at least for now, to avoid double effort if someday imgur makes another joke in future.
Have you tried using imgur again this time?I thought we could all just watch the image shown, but now theymos seem to have made their decision.
I've tried it, but;

Yes I tried to upload one of my imgur images here as a proof but got an error, yet I thought perhaps it's a temporary error. Then I saw theymos post and yeah, seems we cant use imgur permanently.

I just checked through all my post histories with images, and I notice that all have been restored. This is something amazing; maybe Imgur might have checked through their traffic and seen the reduction since their upgrade ended up stopping BTT users and Reddit users from enjoying their service.
Or maybe Thymos has found a new way to resolve the issue since his last thread seeking a possible solution to the issue.🤔🤔

Yeah not sure what they thought in the first place. They tried hardly to be a new 9gag and ignored the fact that most people were just using their service as image hosting only.
Sweet, thanks for posting this update. I haven't really been paying attention to the imgur situation, but I've seen a few threads about it and saw that some images had disappeared, so I gathered that there was a problem using them to host pics for use on the forum. I've posted a lot of screenshots and whatnot using imgur, but it's not as if it'd break my heart if they no longer showed up in my posts (which are likely long since buried under the mountain of other posts and threads that keeps growing by the minute).
I'm too lazy to search the forum for answers, so what was the problem? It wasn't just a bitcointalk and reddit issue, was it?
Edit: Whoops, never mind. I just saw Theymos's thread pop to the surface and will read it now.

I was ready to explain it but theymos beat me

No, it was not solely a bitcointalk or reddit issue, but affected both forums significantly.Imgur made changes to their domain name, from imgur.com to imgur.io, and along with this made changes to their terms of service which invalidates any old image not linked to a registered account on imgur. This lead to so many images posted on the forum through them being broken at the time.
I think this was the first thread [1] on the issue.

I was about to update my thread by replacing the broken imgur images, but found out that all of them have been restored. Seems imgur guys have realized that most of their users are from bitcointalk and reddit. I hope there will be no change again on imgur so it saves my time to update all of the unrestored images for my clients. However I prefer to use talkimg instead, at least for now, to avoid double effort if someday imgur makes another joke in future.
