Am I going to have to fix all my own image links or is the forum going to do it at some point in the future? I have switched to using talking for new image posting.
I doubt theymos will take any action on old posts because he likely doesn't want to set a precedent of editing users' content on the forum beyond standard forum moderation practices. So it's best to do it yourself. You can automate this process by using this script: [Script] Imgur to TalkImg - automatically fix your broken images
That's right. For the forum administration to correct the situation, you must modify the post links. An approach that I doubt they will take.
It might not even be necessary to touch the posts, and a proxy could be created for this purpose.
However, to do this you would need to host all these images on another server, on TalkImg for example. I was even available to discuss this situation, but this would involve additional costs that would have to be assessed by the entire community.
So, for now, I think the best option is to do the conversion personally, using existing scripts. The more users do this manually, the easier it will be to find a medium-term solution.
