“FYI – I don’t know if you know this, but Imgur’s policy can be worked around easily. Right click on whatever direct link it is, and simply paste that direct .png link into the address bar in a new tab in your browser. No account necessary. Hope that helps.”
“Or just right click the url and open in new tab. Even easier with mobile. Just click, hold, and open in new tab.”
“No need to go through the extra steps of opening a new tab, and then of copying and pasting the link there. All you need to do is add “.png” to the original link as it appears in your original tab.”
I’m still going to avoid them when possible, and try to warn you when the link is too good to pass up, but cut me some slack, cuz I screw up now and then.
