Imgur images - not appearing in posts anymore?

What's Hot
jaymenonjaymenon Frets: 804
Of the four link options on Imgur I've always used the 'Markdown Reddit' link - and the relevant picture has appeared in my posts.

Today none of the four link options makes the image appear in the post...

Am I doing something wrong?

Expert help very much appreciated...

    dunno what works for everyone else but for me, image uploaded to imgur, then I right click on the picture itself and  'copy image address' then I post that in the image file thing on here, and then hit space bar....and bingo!

    I don't use the copy links thing on imgur coz it never works for me

    99% of my browsing here is via iPhone or iPad. Rarely look in on the pc.

    Imgur with IOS, but nowt much else.

    I copied the link with iOS and just pasted above. It doesn’t work. However on my Mac if I go to the Imgur website and select markdown (reddit) it works again, I like it used to

    I use the 'Direct Link' - the one that ends in .jpg - and paste it into the 'Attach image/file' box (the paper with the folded corner). On PC the image just appears; on mobile you have to hit space.

    Yeah I use 'direct link', second one down on the desktop version, and paste into the 'attach image' box above the post.  Never made it work on mobile, mind you.
