imgur links breaking from mobile

So I made my nation all cool and VIP'ish but my imgur links keep breaking every few days.

Imgur allegedly keeps links active for six months so I'm wondering if the PnW mobile app is breaking them? My other pictures from other websites haven't broken once.

Make sure your links start with "http" instead of "https" and see if that works. It's solved the issue for most people in the past.

Every image I've used is HTTPS but only the imgur ones were breaking.

I swapped to a different image hosting wobsite and we'll see if that helps.

Using http instead of https for Imgur usually fixes it.

What I believe is happening is that Imgur doesn't want to play image host for us, and they've blocked their images from showing on politicsandwar.com. For some reason though, http images usually work.

I would recommend just hosting your images somewhere else (Discord, snag.gy, or another side.) It's on my to-do list to eventually convert the VIP images to being hosted directly on the P&W site, but the former should be an alright fix in the mean time.

A year or two ago imgur started cracking down on sites using them as an image host. While PW itself doesn't, the playerbase does and it caused them to disable hotlinking.

 

Also, discord compression is garbage, don't use that as an image host lmfao.

TheNG - My favorite part is when Steve suggests DEIC might have done something remotely successful, then gets massively shit on for proposing such a stupid idea.
