[Forums] Imgur media embeds are terrible and low quality because they try and do a fancy preview instead of just showing the image

Literally just doing it the normal way with "Insert image" instead of "Media" - this works better, can be resized nicely, is higher quality.
Is there a point to keeping the media embed at all? I don't see a reason to.

testing imgur album embeds entered using Media

verdict: fancy. lets you see pics in the album by going left and right

cannot use insert image (makes sense lol)
have to use insert media to insert video

Edit for verdict: looks fine tbh so we can't really remove Media embeds. Maybe restrict images to be inserted only using Insert Image

No issues with the other media embeds, I was specifically complaining about Imgur.

Used the Inser Image option and it works fine

I think the point is multi-image albums. If you make a 60 page album do you really want to load in 60 image links one by one?

I'm already working on a fix, which is a bit tricky because i only want direct images to embed without an iframe and keep gallery links as they are.
