Question about HTML listing template with links to Imgur

[dustybutterflyvintage]

I use an HTML template on my item pages and included https links to images hosted on imgur. It's been a while since, if I remember correctly Ebay banned http links right? But even with my https imgur links, the images aren't showing anymore - it' just that blank space with a little torn paper logo. I'd like to fix this & get the images back up.

These links aren't for listing photos but just my logo & stuff like that.

Is it allowed to have links like this on ebay?

If so what's going wrong to cause them to break?

It's not eBay. Imgur detects you're pulling images to display on eBay, and blanks you out. That includes trying to display imgur here on the eBay boards.

Only eBay, still works on other sites.

Most of the (Free account) photo hosts now block hotlinking, there are still a few out there that still allow it (can't help you as I have my own hosted web space).

You could try imgbox, they may still allow hotlinking.
