Now, you should be using the "add picture" feature in the editor to get an i.stack.imgur.com address for your images in your posts. That is hosting that SE pays for and images there won't get deleted. However, we have some posts that use free hosting, namely i.imgur.com. On May 15th, Imgur is changing their ToS and will be "removing old, unused, and inactive content that is not tied to a user account" which may include some of our images on free hosting. (See Meta SE for more details.)

I came up with a plan to back up every single one of these images without bumping too many posts in a short time: we upload all these links on meta. I explain a bit more about this in my answer on SFF Meta.

Using a series of queries (returning one image, returning two images), I made this quick and slightly dirty table, which we can use if any of the images break.

Did I miss anything? Does anyone have any questions? (I don't have a question.)

(Reposted on ELL meta but for the images in their posts.)

    I imagine that comments are toasted, right?

    @Braiam I've only backed up images from posts and I wasn't planning to do comments. It's a tricky situation, since editing comments is high effort (since only mods can do it) and often low reward (since they are so often used for jokes instead of something that is essential to the question). If someone wants to volunteer to back up comment images, give me an idea of how many there are and I'll tell you how many comments I'd be willing to edit.

Ideally there would be a way for mods to edit old posts without bumping them. I wonder if SE might consider adding such a feature for this sort of bulk operation.
