Yeah, that's what I thought. What's the deal?

Re: Testing imgur pic

Garage Journal has been blacklisted by Imgur for using their hosting and having a classified section which is against their ToS. You'll have to host the images here on GJ or on another service like tinypic.

Update.

I guess Imgur is dead to Garage Journal for hosting because GJ has a classified section.

Not sure I understand why that matters, but here is the email thread with Imgur CS.

Guess I will have to host the photos somewhere else and rebuild my page. I didn't use Photobucket originally because I have noticed that you can click on a photo hosted there and it will take you to the person's entire album and profile, which I think some people don't realize. Anyone know a way to prevent that?

Hi there Sixfeet4,

Within our TOS, we do not allow the usage of imgur as a content delivery network on any site that has a section dedicated to selling. This is considered advertising. (much like eBay is blocked as well).

I do apologize for this inconvenience. I look forward to seeing you further within the community.

Best,
Isaac K.

Bummer, thanks for the reply. What do you mean by "because there is a classified section"?

Hi Sixfeet4,

Thanks for writing. Unfortunately that site has been blocked from hotlinking due to multiple instances of abuse of Imgur's terms of service. The terms of service can be found at http://imgur.com/tos. We don't allow hotlinked images being used as content for other websites. Because there is a classified section, we are unable to remove the blockage.

We suggest using another site that does allow being used as a content delivery network. I apologize for the confusion. Please let me know if I can help further.

Best,
Isaac K.

I have a build thread at Garage Journal Forum and all my photo links stopped working? Someone suggested you may have banned the site for ****, but this is not a **** site, it's a site about garages?? I do not understand why it or my photos would be banned ? Please help!
