Imgur no longer works here...? [View all]

I just tried posting a new thread with photos I posted to Imgur. However, it now seems that their “create link” feature action no longer creates a link to the actual image with a .jpg suffix, so it only shows up here as a link address and not the image itself. Is there a way around this, or do we need to find a new image hosting service? I’ve tried everything in the pinned instructions, to no avail.
