I've always used https://imgbb.com/, and my pictures are still showing up here without the white boxes.
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.
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.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.

I edited one of the pictures.
You need to copy the BB code and just use that.
ah okay thanks.
Select the BB Code from the Full image (linked) not the Thumbnail image (linked) and you're good to go.
Edit: I see you found them.![]()

You have some amazing colouring on your dino's. Nice!![]()
Oh. Bit of a let down, but stunning colours all the same.It's what you get when you toy around in ansel with the color and vibrancy sliders to make the colors stick out more.
