Works for me and even if it doesn't load the first time a simply refresh works for me. Although I do ahve links as "clickable only".

Some people already have the gif and such they use in a folder there already. And it's easily accessible to them. I don't, which is why I use Imgtc or giphy or whatever...

I don't use direct links, but I still use Imgur because for some reason imgtc dislikes me. I'll upload something and get a broken file which doesn't work for me. I can still view direct links others post, but my own are doomed.

Hasn't it been broken for a long time? When are they going to get around to fixing it?

It works, though. You just have to remove the "i." in front, and remove the file extension from the link, see.

It isn't so much that GameFAQs broke direct linking, Imgur are preventing it. They wanted GameFAQs to use their hotlink code rather than what GameFAQs uses. Their code is cluttered with crap because gotta make money no matter how much the users hate what happens. That is why they have a mobile application that only works without crashing, glitches and overheating your phone on ad free days.

Not a direct link though, so kindly learn to read.

I just can't use it on PC. But it works great on my phone. It does sometimes not work, but that's only every once in a while...

Because I want to post an image but NOT have it automatically show up sometimes.

I think some people are using extensions or something that compensate for Gamefaqs not auto-opening it any more?

I always used an extension since I only wanted to open everything at choice, not by default. Previously XFAQs, but replaced it with another when Imgur broke things.

I click on it and it takes me to a image just like any other post here from imgur. If that isn't a direct link to a image then what is?

If you don't know what things are, you're better off not arguing.

I see. It amounts to the same thing for me regardless. As I said I click and I get the image but that's because I have links as clickable only.

It's more asking for clarification on what you mean as apposed to a argument. It still seems hypocritical of you to criticises folk for posting "direct links" while having a link to imgur in your sig but whatever. Thanks for the clarification.
