Can't see Imgur albums/posts on the site using Chrome

[Reldey]

My problem is pretty much in the title. Instead of seeing albums, I just see white slivers with very small clickable elements. Have tried multiple computers. Not sure if anyone else has this problem.

 

[VegetableStu]

same here. seems to be random, although the less likely part is for the times it loaded properly ._.
did imgur update their API or something?

 

[Solo]

Oh god that's like all I've posted on here ._.

I've been seeing some real weirdness with Imgur recenty. Embedded individual images mostly work fine. Some embedded albums work fine. The others will initially load fine, but about 1 second after the page finishes loading switch to an embed of the "Zoinks! You've taken a wrong turn" Imgur 404 page, or to a completely unrelated gallery. The really bizarre thing is it happens on both Firefox and Chrome in private/incognito mode (to rule out a plugin). It's possible my employers transparent proxy is to blame.

I had been having this problem but then I disabled my adblocker on this site and it seems to work fine now...
(on chrome on my work PC, i don't recall if it's the same way on my home pc...)

Yeah I have adblock disabled on this site as well. Sometimes I will see the album, sometimes I get the error message, but most of the time I just get a white line.

Usually to see an Imgur album i have to refresh the page whilst being on the page. Yeah, the cause is Imgur once again messing with their API. I'll kick our webdev team and see if we can get a workaround.

Hey all - is this affecting all Imgur embedded albums, or only certain ones? Links to the offending posts would be helpful as I try to diagnose. Thanks!

This is what I do when the problem happens, and it works every time. Try that to see if it fixes guys

Btw @PlayfulPhoenix , a bit off-topic: the forum search has been bugged for 2 months now, any prediction of when to solve it? No posts are being recorded since the beginning of May

An affected post, and an unaffected one (though that's a single-image-album rather than a multi-image album). Same behaviour with initial load, CRTL+R, and CTRL+SHIFT+R : Imgur album embed will load and is visible normally during page load, as soon as page load completed ("stop" icon switches to "refresh" icon) embedded album will disappear and be replaced with the "Zoinks! You've taken a wrong turn" Imgur error page (URL of that frame for the example post:

https://imgur.com/iGsbl4D/embed?pub=true&ref=https%3A%2F%2Fs9e.github.io%2Fiframe%2Fimgur.min.html%23a%2FiGsbl4D&w=540

. Still happens in private/incognito mode, so probably not an extension issue.

 

[SilverJS]

CTRL-F5, maybe? On mobile so can't confirm but it's a fairly regular occurrence on the FreeNAS web interface on chrome, now that I think about it...

 

[Michael]

Yeah this pisses me off more than anything. I love this site but I want to see pictures! I have to hit F12 find the imgur URL for the album and then launch it in separate tab to get it to load. Otherwise I see a picture of three animals which I've grown to hate.

 

[K888D]

This is an issue for me as well, across multiple computers and devices.

Some images just appear as squashed vertical strip, other images appear as "Zoinks", some work fine.

 

[jØrd]

Can people who are having problems w/ the Imgur embed post their browser console / error log (in developer tools) when they run into it. Whilst I cant replicate this issue my end no matter how hard I try I have logs from @confusis which indicate what the issue might be. I'd like to see if other people logs are showing the same problem before testing any changes though.

The 'ref' field being passed to imgur jumps out at me - should that really be github.io, and not this site's url?

It should be github, it comes down to code in the plugin. Im standing up a staging environment in coming days that will mirror the software and plugins used on SFFn to track down exactly where this iframe is being called and test some potential fixes.

EDIT: thanks @Necere for sharing logs, helps w/ confirming what i saw in the logs @confusis shared w/ me.

 

[EdZ]

I went to try and re-create... and now things work fine. The only change has been the update to Palemoon 28.0, which was to fix some Javascript weirdness that was causing all ReCaptchas to fail in 27.x and earlier, so I suspect imgur are doing some similar Javascript sillyness.
