I saved this image to imgur.com yesterday:

Today when I wanted to link to it I got this:

Evidently the meme hits a nerve.

We'll see how long it lasts this time.

I stole it. You’ll have to ask the person I stole it from. 🤡

Hold on, your profile page pictures are showing to me.

Change your VPN connection server.

The one at the very bottom of the page is the one I uploaded yesterday.

Ok, I admit it: I am a baaaaaaad man...

When you post them as external links, you will be able to see the cached version, but nobody else will see anything. I guess you’re just linking to invisible images for the fun of it.

I clicked on your link at the top of your post and saw your image.

Look at the very bottom of my FR homepage.

I did it again just now. Not logged in, and with my VPN on, and saw the image.

It looks like their internal link changed. Click on your link at the top to open the image and grab the new link.

I reposted it. You're talking about the one I reuploaded.

The one at the very bottom of my FR home page is the one that was deleted.

OK, sorry for my confusion.

Maybe it was a glitch, or maybe you didn't finish the save process. IDK, but if they deleted it the first time for rulz, why didn't they delete it again the second time and then warn you?

Sounds familiar...

Also, the violence of the left is speech, while the speech of the right is violence.

[SaveFerris]

You are correct

[left that other site]

Thanks for the link. I was looking for a hosting site.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The image was there yesterday because I always check and I linked to it in a post and it showed up then.

I have never been warned, but I have had one removed before, a gif of a jet turning its chemtrail on and off.

I do not believe they bother warning you.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Comes up for me, too. I expected ExpressVPN to block it, but it worked fine.

You’re still loved.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That's the one I reuploaded to show what had been deleted.

The one that was deleted is at the very bottom of my FR homepage.

Dollars to doughnuts that one doesn't show up for you.

Imgbox is one I use frequently with hardly any deletions.

Looking at Imgur's Home Page shows they definitely favor leftist politics by the examples they put up. If they're hostile to VPNs in this ever-more-hostile internet environment I have no use for them, either.
I took Diana in Wisconson's advice and signed up with Postimages, who's page is basic mechanism like a language translator.

You CAN post links directly from sights but you never know if they'll be there in the future - leaving you looking like an idiot who posted a busted picture link. After resizing after .jpg, .gif, etc. (width=)(height=) I add (alt=) with a brief description (example: alt=TrumpRules), so if the picture is deleted at the source that tag appears so viewers will know what you were trying to convey visually.

I'm trying to change my bad habit of "borrowing" and using image service instead as they give you the added ability to post your own pictures and content.
