I created a gallery today (my 1st) and noticed the images in the gallery do not lay out horizontal small preview pictures anymore.
In the past you could select one of those images and it would overlay a larger version of itself on the page so it was legible.
Now I just see the words 'Watch Gallery'. Clicking the link navigates away from Kodi and back to the site it was created (imgur.com).
Is this intentional?

Do you mean in the wiki, or here in the forum. Can you link to page

I've also noticed if I'm using Internet Explorer browser 11 (latest with Windows 10), any gallery link on this site just shows the words 'Watch Gallery'. There are no images displayed here. Once you select the link which redirects to imgur.com, you will see the gallery.
If I use MS Edge browser, all galleries created with imgur show a low resolution image of the 1st image in the gallery which can be navigated using 'Next' or 'Previous'. Because it is low res, you will probably select the image and it redirects to imgur.com gallery. That may not be instinctive though.
Trying to determine if my browser is corrupted and is the culprit or this is now the new norm?
This happens on other computers using the same browser so I don't know if it's some funky network config either?
Would someone be kind enough to confirm or deny?

Hi Hitcher.
I assume you mean the horizontal low res image gallery where you could select an image and it would overlay larger on the page like I've seen in the past.
The gallery feature itself is still very much alive. Imgur provides 'Albums'. These 'Albums' are given links to the group of images collected inside them. Kodi has an icon (the last one to the right) to 'add an image gallery from imgur' which is exactly what it does.
I don't understand why you say imgur removed the feature? The feature appears to be functioning but Kodi is not interpreting it and displaying it correctly from my limited observations. Especially various browser renditions, none of which lay it out as it once was. This isn't to say imgur didn't change something, just trying to understand using common sense as I'm no site designer.
