Path doesn't accept Imgur photos?

Post by Crawley (DELETED 11638) »

Does path not accept photos from Imgur to be used for avatars? Kept telling me my url was invalid when trying to use it.

It does.

Are you using the direct link option from Imgur?

(unless you already figured it out because I see the avatar. xD)

I tried direct link, image link, and just double clicking and copying image address and copying image, none of which worked.

(Yeah I just ended up downloading it, uploaded, then deleted it from my computer lol.

Direct link *should* work but you might need to clear cookies to see the result. If it isn't working at all then that would be a bug. (testing now)

eta it is working for me with the direct link

Alright so I figured out the problem and can work with it now.

Because images are always too large I've had to size them down to fit the requirements, however any time you edit an Imgur photo (at least in size) it adds a number after jpg in direct link. Usually this is actually adding "?1" it seems. It seems however I can copy an edited photo link, add the image to Imgur, and I get exactly the same image but without the addition after ?1.
