Other images from imgur work fine. This looks to be some type of permissions issue. Even if you click the link you get an access denied error from imgur directly.
That's not the behavior I saw. If I opened the image in a new tab it did load. Once loaded, it was cached, and it would show when the page loaded again. Did you see my bookmarklet?
I did a search for imgur, which brought up a bunch of posts with images that were all broken, then I ran my bookmarklet & they all loaded. You might have to clear cached images from
imgur.com domain to test correctly.
Also, make sure you're testing on memo.cash, not a development instance. I'm 99% sure it's blocking based on the referrer. Probably hit some auto-threshold.
I think it’s because it’s an explicit image. You may have logged into Imgur and enabled them or something
I don't think so. It was all images that weren't already cached, not a single image. And my bookmarklet that adds the referrerpolicy="no-referrer" attribute makes them load immediately
I don't think that attribute would do anything if it had something to do with me being logged into imgur.com.
Seems like you're right. Imgur must've changed something. Adding the noreferrer tag fixes it like you said. Thanks.
No Problemo. I think once they see a certain threshold of referrals, they block it automatically because they don't want people just using it as an image host for their private site.
People prob do that to save bandwidth. They like make exceptions for big forums like reddit. They *might* white-list memo if someone asks them. But maybe we don't want to alert them.
