I think it's very reasonable that imgur does not allow direct image file links.

Imgur end users upload tons of images every day for free,

if allowing direct file links, imgur will not be able to show ads that at least make them some money.

^ I just got used to posting to 3rd party because some forums (don't know about AT) have image resolution or file size limits.
 
^ No the post I quoted which was the post just prior to the plant pic post, where I wrote "Image tags seem to work for me? Sorry too lazy to read entire topic. 😉 " has an embedded link to picture of a bird flying, which I can see on my post with firefox but not chrome.

It's what Ironwing posted in this post and the following URL:
