Do you know any image hosting site which isn't blocked by Steam's linkfilter?
..imgur is, so looking for alternatives.

Imgur is not blocked. For instance:

More words would help to explain what this is supposed to be. As of now it's just a broken Steam file link.

What are you trying to do? What makes you think Imgur is blocked?

That's me opening an imgur link from my activity feed (chrome).

I can't see anything. Either Steam doesn't like your file or the URL is wrong.

Were you able to see the Imgur link from my first reply?

Edit: I can see it now. That happens for all links to outside places. It's not a block, just a notice that you're leaving Steam.

Oh, you meant you didn't see my image, it's because it was friends only, sorry. Try now

your url opens without redirections, yes.

I know what it is, but not everything is filtered.

Filtering is not blocking, though. Blocking would be a red one like this: https://i.imgur.com/nfUppnx.png

yeah, my bad, I'm Italian and I said "blocked by linkfilter", instead I should have just said "filtered".

Now that we're clear on this, do you have an answer?

As far as I am aware, all links from Steam run through Steam's link filter.

There's a trick to bypass the yellow Notice page by using the URL tags with the link filter address. That might be what you're seeing when you think they are not filtered.

Clicking on this link will get a Notice page:

Clicking on this link will go straight to the Imgur picture:

Edit: nevermind. I'm getting my information mixed up.

None of those URLs are getting a notice for me, as the first one you posted at the beginning of this convo.
rawWwRrr Jan 14, 2022 @ 12:11pm 
Strange as I am now getting notices for both when I wasn't before.

I don't what else to tell you then. As I said before, every link goes through Steam's link filter. Whether or not the link filter wants to provide you a Notice for it or not I guess is up to Steam's developers.

These URLS are not 'blocked' they are simply giving you a warning

Steam does not open the direct link, that with the i.imgur.com, but the smaller preview pic is shown. That sucks, though.

It isn't blocked. When you get the yellow notice, just click continue.
