We have made some modifications to the vBulletin IMG tags to only support a specific list of hosts.

That list is currently:

• cdn.discordapp.com
• i.gyazo.com
• i.reddit.com
• imgur.com
• www.imgur.com
• i.imgur.com
• puu.sh
• pbs.twimg.com
• i.pinimg.com
• i0.kym-cdn.com
• i.ytimg.com
• *.tumblr.com
• *.giphy.com

If there are any other major hosts we may have missed please suggest them. They must also support HTTPS as well.

IMG tags that do not link to one of the above sources will be displayed as links instead.  

Could "Giphy" (https://giphy.com/) get support?
Direct image links use: https://media3.giphy.com/

Added.  

So those are the host that the server images can support but is there a specific way to use the links? What I mean I said that my graphics thread only has images from imgur but the server doesn't show them anymore

Right+click -> Copy Image Address
That's how you get the direct URL, it works the same way for every other image hosting website listed here.

This is fixed now.  

Is there a reason why there is a whitelist of specific hosts? I'm pretty sure there is a way to allow all https image hosts, if that was the goal you were going for.

This was significantly easier than implementing a reverse image proxy which can have security and resource (hard drive space, bandwidth, CPU time) issues.

I've wanted to white-list image hosts for a while but just got around to doing it, being able to force HTTPS was also a nice perk to go with it.

I'm glad y'all ended up doing this. Thanks for putting in the time!

Can also do weird stuff like cookie stuffing (probably not useful here) and pulling IPs through IMG. Caught at least one person here trying to send me a PM with a .php file in an [IMG] tag.
