The problem is not from you but rather the it’s the image hosting site problem. Most of the old threads used Imgur for image embedding on the forum. The result of those invalid images are as result of Imgur broken links and not from you. You can fix them by following this guide script to automatically fix broken images

Whenever I try to view a post where a user has attached a picture in the post it comes up with this msg: "btcointalk.org image proxy Invalid Image" At first I thought this was something wrong with the image posted, but it has happened too many times and I think its something wrong at my end. Anyone know what is wrong and how i can fix it?
Well i don't really know, but I guess it's a problem from your device. The error message "btcointalk.org image proxy Invalid Image" only shows up on uploaded images that are broken. Sometimes when some user post broken links, I try quoting them to see if it was a mistake from their end. So I think you should also try that. If an additional character is added to that of the image, it becomes broken or if they had uploaded it to a wrong image hosting web, it also gets broken.
Let's test for now, with this image. If you still don't see it, I'll suggest you clear your browser and try again.
Have you tried to use TalkImg this was created by joker_josue. You can check the main thread here: TalkImg.com - Image hosting for BitcoinTalk
Those old images that weren't updated will return the same message.
Code:
talkimg.com

It is because proxy ban from imgur.com months ago.
You can pull your request to imgur.com and wait for their policy change but I think it will be hard to convince them to change policy.
Meanwhile, you can go to those thread, click on quote and get image links on imgur.com, copy, paste it on the browser to see those images.
You can use this script
Image uploading websites/ scripts for Bitcointalk users has some alternative websites for image upload.
You can see some images from imgur.com but if you quote those posts, it will not be allowed.

It looks like imgur is no longer blocking the image proxy. I didn't change anything on the forum's end, so imgur must've loosened up their limits. I guess it's not necessary to convert img images into links as long as imgur keeps working. But to prevent this from happening again, you'll get an error if you try to embed imgur images in posts from now on.
I'd like to create a page which recommends services for hosting forum images, and mention this in the error message you get when you try to use imgur. Other than TalkImg, which ones are good?
