Imgur, help a brother out

Mar 1, 2017 1:15 AM

So basically, when Imgur's messaging thing stopped I lost contact with a girl I met through it and I feel bad because I don't even know her username. We talked about some really personal stuff and I'd really like to be able to talk to her about it. This will get downvoted to shit (I've seen the horrors of user sub) but I would love it if you guys could help me out

ps cat tax helps with the downvoters i think

It's a dude lol

"This will get downvoted to shit" and there it is. Ill do my part. Also your fake story is fake.

Nope, it's actually real. I know cause it was me. I'm the person he was looking for and found no thanks to your pessimism!

I must have missed something. What is this "messaging thing" that happened? I use the web version, so the PM interface is there, as always.

Same thing happened to me except I got back to him had a few great days more then he vanished from everything and I don't know why

Should be archived, and also how do you not know a username by now? That's on you, ding dong.

I'm on mobile & just went to chat and tapped on the make new message thing and it brought up a list of everyone I messaged before. Try that?

I still have all my messages. Look at the bottom of messenger, it should say your old messages are archived

I always found the concept of being "good friends" with someone based on PMs on website to be odd.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

That's understandable, but I've had many lasting, meaningful relationships with people whom I've only ever known online. As have many others

How come?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I dunno. How do you know the person you're relating with is who they present themselves to be? Then again, suppose the same is true for life

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yeah, spending time together & talking about stuff is what usually defines friendship. People can talk shit over any medium, even real life.

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Not trying to assume here, but are you talking about me @interestingthingsandstufflikethat ??

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

You might be talking about a different girl. But we did talk and I followed you so I got notified when this post made most viral :)

I actually have a related problem. Turns out that Imgur's solution to the bots, was to make a required points to message people. So if 1/2

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

If you don't have the points to message at all, the whole thing is blank. Yay lurkers.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

So the messaging is still down / not coming back?

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

I'm not sure what you're talking about. At least on the web version, there's still an interface for private messages, same as always.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

They took messaging offline because of the bots

9 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Ah! Thank you. I guess they brought it back, because I just got a message from a bot today. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You became "really good friends" but you somehow didn't manage to actually commit her user name to memory? That doesn't add up.

IKR?! I thought my username was pretty memorable but I guess not!

Its easy enough to do,

Have you seen the usernames around here? Even yours, I'm sure I'd fuck up a letter in there since it's apparently just random.

You sound like my ex. "You say you love me, but you always lose your keys!"

Should be able to use their phone's browser to go to the website. if it isn't available on the mobile site hit request desktop version.

When ever I tired that it redirected me to the app and if I didn't have he app downloaded I got redirected to the App Store.

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

You expect them to realize this is more than just an app? Bruh..

Just putting forth a solution, if it's above their mental capabilities that's their issue.

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Wasn't trying to say they're too stupid, but for many people imgur is an app on their phone, not a website.
