I tried linking to a photo I'm hosting in a Pro account: https://twitter.com/mahemoff/status/431487389866139648 https://twitter.com/mahemoff/status/431487389866

I tried linking to a photo I'm hosting in a Pro account:

Even for a Pro account, the image redirects from Twitter. It doesn't redirect me, but it redirects everyone else (I tested from Incognito mode). Which seems not quite what I thought I was paying for.
Also as a paid user, if I click on anyone else's images, they still redirect like they would for a guest/free user.
EDIT:
Thanks to Haywain for spotting it changes on 2nd load. Can be replicated:
* Open fresh incognito window
* Visit Twitter link and click on imgur
* It redirects
* Go back to Twitter window and click on imgur link
* No redirect - it links straight to the image
I verified this with a random imgur link too, so it seems there's no difference between Pro and free.
- naterator 13y agoDoesn't happen for me. Mac OS X, Firefox 27. Or chrome.
- Haywain 13y agoYou may be interested: The first time I clicked the link, it redirected. All subsequent clicks went directly to the image only. (OSX, Firefox Nightly)
- patorjk 13y agoSame thing happened for me (Windows, FireFox 26).
- w1ntermute 13y agoBecause the resource has been cached, and so a request was not even made. Try clearing your cache and see what happens.
- X-Istence 13y agoI am not seeing a re-direct at all ...
- sharth 13y agoThe first time that I clicked it, I was redirected. The second time I wasn't.
- malnourish 13y agoI'm getting no redirect. Firefox Beta with adblock Not logged in to imgur
- minimaxir 13y agoIn my testing, NoScript blocks the redirect.
- jasonlotito 13y agoWhat did you think you were paying for? I mean, it mentions the perks here: https://imgur.com/register/upgrade https://imgur.com/register/upgrade What else do you think you get with Imgur pro that isn't listed?
