Works in old posts.
However, the post after the update does not count the number of clicks on the image URL.
for example, https://i.imgur.com/example.jpg
Note: I haven’t converted to a local image in my forum.
Just in case, I tried rebuilding, but it didn’t change.
I’m fairly certain this is a (positive IMO) side-effect of this change:
The hot-linked image links were showing up in the Top Links section of user summaries and looked pretty awful. I didn’t realize it would take the click count off of hotlinked images in posts too, but I personally think that is an improvement as well for reasons like what @JammyDodger illustrated. The click counter was often distracting and felt out of place on images.
