Thanks for pointing this out! We shouldn’t be linking to an external image host here, I’m surprised it continued working for so long. That image has quite a lot of views, thanks imgur!

Time to move on… once merged this is going to migrate the image to be sourced within the theme directly. It also adds some optional upload settings if you don’t want to supply a URL. Existing background image settings should remain unchanged after this update.
