Default imgur test: links not working

This is every link from imgur for sharing a mp4 video.
None of them work.
When trying to add a link to the picture page the link disappears as soon as I paste it.

Not sure I understand. All you need to do is copy/paste the address (URL) of the video inside a post. You don't need to use the picture page (?). So simply pasting:
https://imgur.com/vydTHQD

Would allow viewers to click the link if they wanted to watch the video.

YouTube videos will automatically be embedded so members don't have to click the link. However, imgur videos do not get embedded. They will simply display as a link. I don't think CorvetteForum ever embedded imgur videos. The last part of your message is HTML. HTML has not be allowed on CorvetteForum for years and other websites like CorvetteForum don't allow it because it's a security risk as well as possible annoyance to viewers as it can be abused.
