The cardmaker's been having problems uploading directly to Imgur, if you're using that feature. When explaining a problem, you should explain what each step you're taking is and how you're doing it, so that it's easier to find the solution. I'm just gonna go over each possible step I can think of and tell you what might be wrong.

 

Using the cardmaker's "upload to Imgur" feature: As stated above, this has been having problems last I heard. I suspect it's due to some website changes on Imgur's part, and I'm probably wrong, but your cards uploaded in this fashion won't work even if I'm somehow right. You'll have to download the images manually and upload them to Imgur yourself.

 

Uploading to Imgur manually: There shouldn't be anything wrong here minus a couple uploading bugs I've noticed involving albums and the captcha. You won't need the former at all, and you shouldn't be uploading so many cards that the latter comes up either. If this part is the problem, consult Imgur's help page.

 

Using the img code on YCM: You need to make sure to wrap your image's URL in tags, or a singular tag with a = in there, as seen below.

[img=Your URL here] OR [img=Your URL here] (These both accomplish the same thing; the latter is just faster to type)

Using an image grabbed at semi-random from my own Imgur account, I'll show you the importance of this.

So to recap, download your image manually, upload it to Imgur yourself, and make sure you're using img tags. Hopefully this helped, and if it didn't, don't hesitate to say so.

Are you sure that the url ends in the file extension? (.jpg, .png, etc)

 

The img code won't just pick up an image from the page, you need to specify which image you mean. In the above post, I used "http://i.imgur.com/paGbGT1.png", not "http://imgur.com/paGbGT1" for my URL. The difference seems small, but is huge. If you just grab the page instead of the image, that'll happen. Make sure your URL is set to the image's address, not the page's. In case you didn't know, you can get the image's direct URL by right-clicking it and selecting "Copy Image Location". If it doesn't end in a file extension, it's just the page, and not the image.

 

Does that make sense?
