Why imgur links do not load automatically

I was wondering why so many imgur links are showing up without auto-loading so I took a look today. On the desktop computers browser the workflow has changed since I was here last. Create your "New Post" and "+Add" your images as usual. Then instead of clicking "Grab Link" from the post, click on our profile/name at the top right and select "images". From here click on the image you want to share, and grab the "Direct Link" with .jpg on the end for use in the forums. Then on the forums you can use "Insert Image (Ctrl-P" and click the chain link and paste in the whole "Direct link" url (including the http at the beginning and jpg at the end). Repeat this for EACH image you want in your post. From some of the comments i've read I think this fits with what people are doing. Hope this helps.

Proof it works

umm, mine show up the same way I've always done it. I go to the imgur picture I want on Imgur, click the "copy BB code" button on the side, then paste that code into my post.
I have noticed that some folks have been using the "insert media" tool instead of the "insert image" tool on the BF tool bar though. And that does not work. The insert image tool does work, though. I've used that one.

If you find a way to get media clips on Imgur to correctly insert into a BF post, I'd be much obliged. Those have not worked for me since the software mod. I've not found a workaround for those.

You mean video I assume... Let me try. Did it used to auto play? I can't get that to happen.

Via imgur > Username> Images> "Direct Link" - Copy , then in BF post "Insert Media" paste URL:

It has the annoying white border.
