As an editor for the blog, I use the images from stack.imgur. However in order for me to use them, I have to get the link from the posts themselves or if they're my own images, or images I've found online, I have to create a dummy post and upload the images. Is there a way to access and browse the stack.imgur photos? I'm hoping to be able to upload, search by userid, postid, etc,. If not, is there consideration of enabling this for users?

- 3I'm sensing an XY problem here... The uploading can probably be implemented natively in the blog. I don't think the user and post information is even stored but can be easily found through Data.SE.Tamara Wijsman– Tamara Wijsman2012-09-17 18:05:16 +00:00Commented Sep 17, 2012 at 18:05
- 2I think the OP is trying to use images that are already in "Stack Imgur," and/or avoid uploading duplicates, so adding an uploader to the blog wouldn't really solve his problem.Pops– Pops2012-09-17 19:07:53 +00:00Commented Sep 17, 2012 at 19:07

Is there a way to access and browse the stack.imgur photos?
Use a site search to browse, such as the following:
https://www.google.com/search?q=imageurl:i.stack.imgur.com&tbm=isch
https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=host%3Ai.stack.imgur.com&form=QBIR
https://duckduckgo.com/?q=i.stack.imgur.com&ia=images
