I keep getting 404 error codes when I try to go to i.imgur.com. Using different browsers or incognito mode doesn't help. However, when using the my phone (on the same network) I can reach it fine. Also, I tried with a virtual machine and it also worked. Any ideas of what could be the cause of this?
I am using Windows 7, thanks!

Reporting back. The problem was that I had modified my hosts file a few months back (to solve some other issue) and I forgot about it. Then i.imgur.com IP address changed and that caused my problem. Reverting my hosts file changes solved the issue. So if you have a similar problem in Windows, check %SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

i.imgur.com redirects to imgur.com. So you can access imgur.com but not i.imgur.com? – bdr9 – 2013-08-04T04:24:51.547
I think imgur.com serves the html, js and css files, while the actual images are served from i.imgur.com (which is a CDN) – user71606 – 2013-08-04T04:29:50.173
