Are there any missing images from Imgur, and especially images that were uploaded using the editor (to the Stack Exchange pro account)? When did those images go missing?
For at least the past 20 hours, https://i.stack.imgur.com/zOc0U.jpg as used in a question on Meta Stack Overflow shows a generated image claiming "The image you are requesting does not exist or is no longer available". Like:
GET /zOc0U.jpg HTTP/1.1
Host: i.imgur.com
HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
Content-Type: image/png
Content-Length: 2609
Expires: Mon, 16 Jan 2012 10:50:29 GMT
Cache-Control: max-age=31536000
The author meanwhile has indicated he used the upload feature from the editor.
Note that after refreshing a page, Safari might not show the generated image either, eventually timing out. A copy of the generated image, just for future reference if this is ever fixed:
(My Safari on a Mac times out after a refresh. That could be caused by the missing Location
in the HTTP 301 Moved Permanently
; using Chrome or Firefox always seems to get me the generated image. I am not sure if the missing Location
is an Imgur feature, but that's not the issue here. I have not tested the refresh with Internet Explorer.)

headers when images are requested by a browser. That is, of course, nice for folks who use the data dump, but would (might) make it an easy target for abuse... I don't know if there's any feature request for automatic conversion yet (there is some request for Can we have some tools to handle link rot? but that is not about the time an new/edited post is submitted).
