Imgur Issues!
Wed Jan 30, 2019 5:27 pm
Oh My Word! Imgur is having some sort of issue with their site. They have changed things with their screen selections. when I go in to look at my snaps, I can't find my Albums, and you need to bounce all around to find what you're looking for.

The change was made to consolidate post privacy settings 4. We previously had two meanings for ‘public,’ which led to user confusion and privacy concerns. These changes consolidated our privacy options to simply two, which helps ensure that users have better, more clear control and understanding over who can see their posts.
I understand the confusion you’re describing. Especially if your primary use case on Imgur is hosting images, this will add an additional step for you, however your albums are still accessible under Posts as well as under the albums controls on the Images page.

Imgur’s business objective is to build a community-powered entertainment platform, and our update to the albums pages and privacy settings supports this. We are working diligently to solves bugs associated with this rollout, however won’t be offering the old albums view going forward.

Apologies for the confusion here. You will see your albums by choosing ‘gallery profile’ from the menu you screenshotted above. The link directly to ‘albums’ that previously existed in the menu has been deprecated. Once on your profile, you’ll see an option called Posts, followed by three toggles: All, Public, Hidden.
A hidden post means that your post is not shared with the general Imgur community and can only be accessed via the URL. Hidden posts cannot be searched, will not receive comments or votes, and will not appear in your user profile. Hidden posts are never entirely private because they can always be accessed by other people with access to the URL.
A public post means that your post is shared with the Imgur community and is available for commenting, voting, and will appear in your user profile. Public posts will appear in Imgur search results.
You can read more about this update and see some screenshots at: https://blog.imgur.com/2019/01/29/consolidated-post-privacy-settings/ 15
Our help site also has an article about how to view and manage posts: https://help.imgur.com/hc/en-us/articles/214939503-Editing-and-Managing-Posts-on-Desktop 8. If you encounter any issues, please use the green ‘contact support’ button on this page to open up a ticket.
Hope that helps a bit!

I think I found a way to work around it, by selecting, Images, then selecting All Images and my files come up there and I'm able to see them all.

Well! They could have let everyone know that they had to make privacy changes for the EU Privacy Law! They should have at least sent out an email instead of leaving confusion. The Images selection has alway been there, now you just can't go directly to your Albums, which is a drag.
