JWE Screenie(s)...

Ah ok, well I think we have our answer. From https://forums.watchuseek.com/f530/imgur-block-wus-permanent-can-you-correct-4732587.html:

"Hi xxxxxxxxxx

Thanks for writing. Unfortunately that forum has been blocked from hotlinking due to abuse of Imgur's terms of service (http://imgur.com/tos). Imgur's ToS prohibits using Imgur as a content delivery network, which means that website elements such as buttons, banners, avatars, frames, image libraries, etc. cannot be hosted on Imgur and served up as elements of other sites. Imgur's intended use is not as a CDN, but rather as a platform to upload, share and browse entertaining images, which is why using it to serve website elements or image libraries is not allowed.

Please also be aware, that any forum that has a section dedicated to selling, such as classified are also against the advertising portion of the TOS.

If you'd like to be unblocked, please take measures to undo the functionality that caused the terms of service breach, at which point we'd be happy to review.

Please let me know if you have any other questions; I'd be happy to help.

Best,
Jacob"

It looks like imgur has decided to clamp down on people doing direct image shares. So the answer is to use a different image host.

Thanks for the info. I didn't even know that imgur is not a "content delivery network" (anymore?). So, in layman's terms: I am not allowed to upload images at imgur and then post those images in forums or places other than imgur itself?
I have used imgur for years by now and it's the first time that I've run into any trouble with it. That's rather disappointing.

It's stupid cause they provide you a link for forums and such. Totally idiotic.
 
Muttaburasaurus have the best range of skins in that game imo. They are very colorful yet the pattern is still believeable and not too much.

Have you seen the Edmontosaurus rainforest skin yet? That's a really nice looking vibrant skin. It looks like one of those Poison Dart frogs from the Amazon.
 
My guess is that either Frontier were naughty, or Imgur have misunderstood what's going on and are assuming all the images we hot-link come from Frontier, instead of from us.

I guess frontier has been using peoples screenshots?

Which I don't have an issue with. If they wanted to use mine I wouldn't even care a bit. It's not like I spent hours on them.
 
Wow that thing with imgur... geez I switched to imgur due to the fact that photobucket went all premium a while back and downsized the images you upload to tiny little images which prevents one from showing details to the point where you have to squint in order to see them.

I just added one more at the end, please reload and check again

The last one is visible, to me.

Bit of a test here now to see if anyone can see the images I linked before but were not allowed by imgur

All visible.

Edit: erm.. sometimes ?!? I just reloaded the page and nothing, but they where there when I posted.
Edit 2: I can see you are editing... this one was visible
