I have Adblock Plus for Firefox. But it's blocking imgur images from being shown in hotlinks. Occasionally it blocks them while I'm actually on imgur. At least I think Adblock is the problem.

Anyway how can I customize what Adblock does and doesn't block? Site specifics, not just downloading their "Allow" list every update.

You can add exceptions in the filter preferences section of ABP under the custom filter tab, but you can speed things up a bit by going through the list of blocked items (in open blockable items section) and add an exception for any blocked items (marked in red) that shouldn't be blocked.

Thanks, I'm gonna try that. I hope it's Adblock Plus doing this.

If one of the filter subscriptions your using contains a filter that blocks parts of imgur (and the filter in the list of blockable items shows that) then you can disable that specific filter (although another filter might take its place, so having an exception might be a better option).

I cannot find imgur in the list of blocked sites... Does that mean it uses a special plugin I don't know the name of? Or is something else blocking imgur?

Does anything show up in red under Adblock Plus "Open Blockable Items" on these pages with Imgur images?
Do those images show up if you disabled Adblock Plus completely?
Do those images show up if you start Firefox in Safe Mode?

As far as image hosts and hotlinking are concerned, it's more common to see http referer blocking.
Since you are a Firefox user, try downloading the RefControl extension and adding i.imgur.com as Forge.

I did this on the bottom, and yes, for some reason all the imgur pages showed up as blocked. So I unblocked them and they work again.

Thank you to both of you to helping me out!!
