@moondrake Huh. This shows up fine in my Chrome browser, but when I check with Edge, I get a broken image link. I tried reposting in Edge with a clean URL to the image, and it still shows as broken. I wonder if Microsoft is sending a message…
@narfcake@shahnm Seconded. Imgur is intercepting links and serving up their ad version for a person viewing a page, not an embedded image. There is a link format to do it, but it isn’t recognizeable as a standalone image link (i.e. no .jpg on the end). The end result is Imgur wants you to look at their ads, not suck their servers’ bandwidth for their images being shown on someone else’s commercial money-mehking website.
This probably is no longer worth the effort, but as a gesture of respect to everyone who provided advice re adding an imgur image, I have uploaded the gif. To those impatiently waiting, perched at the edges of your seats, unable to move forward with your day until you have seen the mysterious gif, behold:
@narfcake@shahnm So now I’m waiting for this guy to be struck by lightning. Although to be fair, I have danced in many a rainstorm myself, although I do refrain from waving a lightning rod about.
@f00l Just in case this comes up in the future… other browsers on iOS don’t use the Safari rendering engine, they use the iOS WebView rendering engine. For no discernable reason, these are different. The WebView engine seems behind in JS parsing, and overall speed. It’s very hard, as a dev, to figure out nuanced differences, because you can only do web inspection on a Safari view… but they are slightly different.
This is accurate.
America is a broken link? There’s something existentially meaningful there.

I just tried again to add it as a photo (instead of a link), and now I see it in Edge.
@shahnm It’s imgur. Upload it here, and it’ll be fine.

So screw 'em and dont use Imgur images.
@shahnm
I think, if it’s hosted on imgur, you will simply have to upload it here, if many of us are to see it.
I can’t. (iOS)
@shahnm And of course I can see the original but not this one (on a mac, safari)

@shahnm It works!, so I fixed the top post too.

@moondrake I was expecting a truck or something to smack him out of the road…
@moondrake @narfcake Where’s the adventure in that?
For broken pics on mobile, long press and open image in new tab. Then, refresh that page to see the image. Easy.
@medz
Does not work.
(iOS, Firefox [which uses the safari rendering engine]).
Long press gives no options and yeilds nothing in this case. First thing I tried.
@f00l sorry, chrome mobile
@medz
Chrome on iOS or on android? Or both?
Chrome on iOS also uses the safari rendering engine. Apple requires this of browsers in the appstore, I hear.
I usually do my meh stuff using Firefox.
Book searches and intellectual curiosity quests in chrome for ios.
Misc browser stuff on safari.
A few other browsers just for grins.
@f00l Android
@f00l with a mac - try control open in new tab. That solves it for me most of the time.

@brhfl
Thx for clarification.
@Kidsandliz
Never had a Mac tho. : )
