Looks like you got lucky that your instance cached it before it went down. Try right clicking on it and clicking "open image in new tab" too see the original image.

Seems to work fine for me - imgur link is: https://i.imgur.com/9IlC6xy.png

Does that link not open for you? Now I'm really just curious why you can't see it. Are you perhaps using a VPN that might have been blacklisted?

No, that link redirects me to their 404 page.

Or, to be more accurate, it first redirects me to https://imgur.com/9IlC6xy

Which then redirects me to their 404 page https://imgur.com/error/404

Are you really telling me that it works for you?

If I click the direct-to-image link I posted, it takes me directly to the image. If I click your link, it takes me to the 404. Very weird!

Ok fascinating. I just installed this extension to prevent Imgur from redirecting me from i.imgur.com to imgur.com, and now the link does indeed work.
