While I could do without all the reactions, I would much prefer if the thumps up were the only option. The mocking usage of the laughing reaction adds no value.

All of the "reaction emojis" are mutli-use. The laughing one could be what was posted is funny, or it could be its funny that someone would post that. I like "thumbs up" posts sometimes that I appreciate the post even if I don't like the content. All of the reaction emojis are that way.

When you laugh at a post that doesn't try to be funny, it's quite clear that you are mocking it. No matter the situation, giving a post a thumbs up will never leave a negative impression (about the poster of the liked post).

I don't know. Many members try to be funny/witty so there could certainly be times where I click the laughing emoji, when in fact the post wasn't intended to be funny. I'm certainly guilty of using it in a zinger way with ad nauseam posts.

I can point you to many posts where the thumbs up was seen as negative so I don't agree with that assertion.

Just another thing @CParsons if you can help. Imgur images, past and present, are not loading anymore unfortunately. Only thing visible is a red cross in place of an image.

I've found this thread, as it seems other people on Xenforums have this issue as well:
xenforo.com

XF 2.2 - Proxied imgur images stopped working today

They all look like this now: https://forums.tms.sx/threads/main-character.44874/ What do I do? What's the course of action here?
xenforo.com xenforo.com

From the site
It seems imgur have recently made a change which prevents their images from being proxied for some (possibly all, eventually) sites.
The options are to add their URL to the proxy bypass:

Yes, just one among many other Imgur pics.

For example Tadej Pogacar thread first post:

Teams & Riders - Tadej Pogačar discussion thread

Well there was no thread so I made one. This kid has a bright future ahead of him. https://www.procyclingstats.com/rider/tadej-pogacar Sealed the overall win at Tour de l'Avenir today by almost 1 and a half minutes, a dominant performance. And came 4th in Tour of Slovenia this year, but only...

A lot of the old in-forum-links are no longer working and take you to a 404 page. I've tried the "riders-teams" overview topic where all topics of riders and teams are listed in the opening posts by randomly clicking some links, i think 3 out of 4 links do no longer work.

It is the only way to respond to a troll post that doesn't get you banned. But as i said before, i would personally prefer a roll-eyes option. Or no reactions at all.
And thumbs up can certainly be used in the same way by the way. You can check this by responding to a factual or logical statement i make and try to mock it or myself and you will see you will get a thumbs up by Salvarini. We can test it now:

2+2=4

Now if you quote the above and tell me i have no idea how math works, you will get a thumbs up by Salvarini.

That's not equivalent to the laugh. It still approves of the content of the post (which in this case would be a mocking of another poster), and it's non-hostile towards the poster it's a reaction to.

So while it can be used to approve of negative content, or to be perceived as to approve of negative content, it cannot be used in a hostile manner towards the poster it is a reaction to. Unlike the laugh.

In the example i used, it is also not intended for the user that posted the comment, but the user to which the comment was a reaction to. So it comes down to the same thing.

Sorry, I thought I put the fix in place here but I guess not. I actually worked with Xenforo to fix it. It's in place now. Keep in mind, the fix only works if the images were associated with an IMGUR account and IMGUR didn't remove them.

It works!

At least the second image isn't associated with any account btw.

I'm curious, what happens if you change your signature and then change it back again using the same url for the image?

EDIT: Yep, you just have to post it again, you can use the same old url.

EDIT2: To down below: That works too, but you didn't even have to do that. It'd work with the same old upload again. It's the old url in this post.
