Image embedding broken in signatures

Separately from the permission problems with accessing signature settings in our profiles, looks like signatures are no longer embedding hotlinked images correctly. Looks like they're not working for some but working for others. Seen images hosted on imgur specifically not working, but strangely, a moderator's sig hosted on imgur DOES load. Images hosted on the PA forums CDN domain DO seem to load.

edit: updated for some facts I got wrong

    Same issue, but in addition going to the signature settings gives a "permission problem" error page.

    Just had this happen.

    Tried to embed a screenshot from imgur using their BBCode. It picked up the URL, but not the image.

    Trying just the image as an experiment...

    Edit: definitely working on mobile. Firefox for my desktop browser, chrome for mobile.

    huh is it maybe just that the forums aren't embedding imgur links at all, signature or no?

    It seems like gifs are borked, since it's loading my imgur signatures, but only the same one, not a loop like it used to.

    Some of mine embed, some don't, as you can see:
