Description
#2503 added the ability to configure a custom Imgur key.
However, I got pretty tripped up about what to put in there. The Imgur documentation talks about needing to use an access token to make write requests to an account, so I spent quite a bit of time generating Oauth access tokens and putting them in the Imgur API Key field, which of course kept failing with permission denied errors.
It was only after I looked at the actual code in #2503 that I realized it was the Client ID from the created Imgur app that was supposed to go in that setting.
Given the crazy amount of complexity in the Oauth sequence, and the number of different ID/secrets/tokens generated (Client ID, Client secret, Access token, Refresh token), I think a more precise label for that setting would be in order, perhaps Imgur Application Client ID ?
