Well, for anyone else wondering wtf I was doing, it seems you can trick imgur into working on garagejournal if you use a third party thumbnail service.
My next step is to replace any i.imgur.com links on here with https://ic.bsbportal.com/unsafe/http://i.imgur.com through a browser extension. That'll allow me to see all the broken imgur links at least, but since it pulls the bandwidth through someone else's server I can't really make it easy for other members to do. If you're capable of doing it yourself it shouldn't be a problem for their site.

I do not see anything on my tablet. Thumbnails not developed.

IMGUR is blocked or I should say it will not work here as we have a classifieds section.
IMGUR has blocked the GJ from showing images.

if you quote the post, copy the url for the imgur link and paste it into a new window. the image will open. now go back into the post, the pics show.

True, but the method I was playing with uses another website, which isn't blocked, to grab the content from imgur and redisplay it.
To be able to do that, you just modify the URL displayed by the post on GJ. There's browser extensions that can do that automatically.

This image is blocked

but this image, which is the same picture as the above image but with an altered URL, works properly (albeit taking a bit longer to load)

although it seems to only be working for me on my desktop, and not my phone.

Alright, I seem to have made it work with http instead of https. Probably a difference in the mobile and desktop browser that causes a problem somewhere. Either way, I never use my mobile for GJ so I can get imgur links to display for me no problem now

Sorry, were you expecting more interesting content in the section where people test forum functions?
There's some avatar testing you might wanna check out instead, maybe that'll interest you more!

Well if you can get it to work post something on how it is done please.

Yeah, spread the lurve!

I'll post an update once I can figure out what browser extension would be best suited to rewrite the imgur urls to the modified url I found to work. It will have to only rewrite the urls on garagejournal for it to be useful.

I just posted several pictures via imgur. Copy the Direct Link info and then paste it into the insert image box.

640 by 480 pictures post the best although I had 1200 by ? images that I posted today. Bigger pictures require the viewer to pan sideways.
