The ImageFAQs userscript just got updated so it bypasses Imgur's block, so if you want to embed Imgur links, use this. Plus, this extension works on any direct-linked image, including from sites like Twitter that aren't supported by GameFAQs' built-in image embedder. ImageFAQs is better than the built-in embedder in every possible way.

Just download an extension like Greasemonkey that can run user scripts, then add this script. That's all you have to do to solve the problem!

or the easier ways:

1. if you have firefox (or a derivative) go to about:config and change "network.http.sendRefererHeader" value to 0

2. use imgbox instead. https://imgbox.com/

GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site.

if you cannot get greasemonkey to work, tampermonkey is the same thing

I tried doing that myself, and while it solved the embedding problem, it also broke my ability to upload images to Imgur.

But GameFAQs' auto-embedding doesn't cover that. You'd still have to use ImageFAQs if you wanted those images to embed for you.

That sounds like a lot of work for something that could be done by using giphy/imgTC instead.
