Imgur has gone **** up?

[GilverTheProtoAngelo]

Recently imgur has started giving me this error and no longer operates in browser anywhere, PC or Mobile. I can operate it on mobile with it's app only, which is completely useless for me, since it can't open links of imgur from other platforms.

{
"data": {
"error": "Imgur is temporarily over capacity. Please try again later."
},
"success": false,
"status": 403
}

I am in bind, anyone know any solution to this, because niether quora nor reddit knows any solution afaik. Also I don't use VPN.

Have a video image using imgbb to show the error?

 

[Rikimarox2]

Works fine for me. Can you like show us the error?

Can you try using a VPN or a different browser, and tell us the results? A few others had this issue online, and from what I can tell, a VPN or perhaps the browser itself might be the issue.

I tried VPN, it opened on certain locations. But I can't login. Also the UI becomes complete ass.

Which browser should I even use? I use chrome currently.

Try Firefox, or any Chromium browser like Zen browser (What I'm currently using). If all those didn't work, well, good luck brother.

 

[GilverTheProtoAngelo]

same error on Microsoft Edge.

 

[GilverTheProtoAngelo]

Chromium

Almost every browser is based on Chromium iirc, but I'll see.

 

[GilverTheProtoAngelo]

Zen browser

how good is your experience?

The browser is pretty good honestly, and I haven't had any issues with Imgur with it. Isn't hogging up my memory that much either compared to chrome, only like 2.5GB, while opening 10+ tabs. Chrome was eating my memory ngl.

 

[GilverTheProtoAngelo]

Noted.

Imgur works fine for me; though I do think they might have deleted quite a few GIFs and images I recall uploading. I really only have like 3 posts publicly posted now.

 

[GilverTheProtoAngelo]

So emailed their customer support. They basically blanket banned the entire network i use and asked me to use a different one. lmao.

This issue occurred with me too. I no longer trust them ever since they deleted my 80+ scans and it seems they have done it with many peeps other than me considering how these types of cases are keep poping up.

[GilverTheProtoAngelo]

Bruh.

 

[GilverTheProtoAngelo]

What alternative are we using in replacement to imgur?
i really liked how I could arrange multiple scans with comments in singular link. i don't want to lose that.

Mine is simple blog where I store compress images or if nit possible then Quotes with References (to avoid copyrights issues)

 

[GilverTheProtoAngelo]

What about viewing scans from other people? I can no longer open other's links because the service doesn't work. How am I supposed to look at evidence or debate/discuss?

 

[DarkDragonMedeus]

Yeah, I had a lot of Conker's Bad Fur Day GIFs used as justifications for various feats, but all gone. And I think a Majora's Mask related scan was also deleted, a few I still have. But yeah... Going to have to use other platforms like Gyazo instead of Imgur.

 

[GilverTheProtoAngelo]

Update -
I had to use VPN and locate myself in France to access the site. Third party login still didn't work so I had to tinker with my credentials. Site is much slow now, but atleast i can look at my scans and anyone else's who posts. Still annoying.
I might have to consider using Gyoza or other alternative as DDM suggested.

 

[Imaginym]

I don't trust Imgur.
IDK about their account services, but I like postimg.cc, since you ca use it without an account, pick from automatic deletion times for your images, & you can manually delete them as long as you have the deletion link, you can also get by just visiting the image-specific page you're taken to for your uploaded image.

Though IDK if they support GIF, Webm, or MP4.

 

[GilverTheProtoAngelo]

Honestly it will be annoying if everyone keeps using different services and most services are barred for others. Makes looking at evidence a chore.
Would prefer some universal solution which will work long term with features such as 'collections' and 'comments' remain.

Agreed.

I use firefox and imgur is working fine for me.
maybe you can try it

and I also have encountered someone with similar problem recently, I think their IP was soft banned by imgur and it worked after using VPN

Works just fine for me. If you have issues just upload directly to the wiki.
