| Sep 20, 2011 at 16:31 | comment | added | Arjan | @Jeff, Gareth is doing a lot of fixing for me and others as more and more images no longer show. So I guess More and more images go missing. Can the cooked HTML be rebuilt? is needed more and more... | |
| Aug 18, 2011 at 16:17 | comment | added | Arjan | In case it ever matters: the cooked HTML for another question was not rebuilt either, after the Markdown source was automagically changed earlier. A dummy edit fixed that. Slightly confusing: the preview shows the image just fine, as that creates the cooked HTML on the fly. | |

@arjan it's possible, though incorrect, for them to disappear from i.imgur.com. We don't care so much about that any more, as all the images should (I mean, that were properly uploaded by users via our upload support in the first place..) have been properly migrated to i.stack.imgur.com which we do care about.

| Jul 31, 2011 at 8:58 | comment | added | Arjan | So, @Jeff, what I see does not match your statement "We have a network level "pro" account, so images shouldn't be disappearing, and they should be in both places actually." (That is: if you mean they shouldn't be disappearing from either place.) | |
| Jul 31, 2011 at 8:53 | comment | added | Arjan | @Jeff, I thought you meant: as if everybody used the SE-provided upload. Just to be sure: all my Imgur images were uploaded using the image button in the toolbar, to your Pro account. (I use that button for comments too; I just copy the result into a comment.) And the post I refer to in my first July 23rd comment has two images, only one of which now fails for the old URL? That aside: the cooked HTML might not have been changed in all occasions. (It's not a problem for me; just FYI.) | |
| Jul 31, 2011 at 8:31 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | @arjan as I said above, we rewrote history, Terminator 2 style. We went back in time and made it as if everyone used i.stack even if they didn't. | |

The cooked HTML for another question that has not been edited since January, does include the new stack in the image URLs. Odd?
|

| Jul 23, 2011 at 10:34 | comment | added | Arjan | @Sathya, beware: maybe the new URLs are only used after making some edit! (See my comments above but please do not edit my post to ensure the team can have a look if needed.) | |
| Jul 23, 2011 at 10:29 | comment | added | Arjan | Fun fact: the official i.imgur.com/not-here.png shows a different 404 image than SE i.stack.imgur.com/not-here.png The first even serves a GIF rather than a PNG. | |

@Jeff, it seems something went bad with the URL change. I'm sure I've used the SE upload when changing a post in January. Meanwhile, the URLs were updated in the Markdown. However, 1) I still see the old URLs in the cooked HTML and 2) one of the two old image URLs no longer shows the image: i.imgur.com/HAjPB.png When I add stack all is fine, and I assume making a dummy edit would fix the cooked HTML.

| Jul 21, 2011 at 20:42 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | @arjan the ambiguity was extremely painful, and the broken images are more obviously wrong than an image which may randomly disappear at any time because it was not uploaded through an imgur pro account. | |
| Jul 21, 2011 at 20:06 | comment | added | Arjan | I'm quite curious why this was done? If you're regretting this: a year ago, sth used a datadump to download all images for SO. I guess that could be repeated using a pre-June 2011 dump, if the images are important. | |
| Jul 21, 2011 at 19:42 | comment | added | Arjan |
@prz, but now some of those images will not get any view at all, simply as their true URL has been changed into a i.stack.imgur.com URL, which does not apply to non-SE images.

| Jun 30, 2011 at 22:36 | comment | added | przemoc | @Jeff: I see. This rule was most likely more restrictive in the past, so I hope you've just seen examples of images that were uploaded and have vanished before rules were changed (dunno when it was done exactly). Anyway, it's surely safer to use SX imgur. Thus I'll have to update my TeX.SX posts within 6 months, just in case... | |
| Jun 30, 2011 at 22:28 | comment | added | Jeff Atwood | @prz we've seen images get removed by imgur that should have had views. I would not trust that guidance as 100% accurate. | |
| Jun 30, 2011 at 17:36 | comment | added | przemoc | From imgur FAQ: How long do you keep the images? As long as images are getting at least 1 view every 6 months, they will stick around forever. After that, your image may be removed to create more space for newer images. So in practice it's a problem only for users who do not constantly view their all images at least once a few months (which is a good practice for many reasons). :-) | |
| Jun 20, 2011 at 13:46 | comment | added | Iszi | @JeffAtwood - I'm not sure the note about images disappearing after 6 months is really clear. Would it be correct to say that users who used the "add image" button do not have to worry about this sort of expiration? | |
