Imgur has recently changed. I used to be able to get the JPEG file link directly, with the fully-qualified JPEG file path and name and .jpeg file extension. But not any more. Or maybe the way to do it has changed, but I haven’t been able to figure that out.

I’ve done it many many times before. Recently for these photos —

and

Those photos are in these posts in the cars thread —

But now, imgur gives me the ‘gallery link’ without the .jpeg file extension.

Examples here —

I’m bummed! Does anyone know how to do it now? I’ve tried searching, but no joy.
