imgurthumbnail
There's a rather large image in a Stack Overflow post that I'd like to replace with its thumbnail and a link to the full-size image.
I know Imgur generates thumbnails for its images when you upload, but since I'm not the original uploader, is there any way for me to find the thumbnail image by URL hackery or some such?
From the TOS, this would seem to suggest that nothing happens to your licensing.
Imgur Terms of Service are subject to change without notice. All files are copyrighted © to their respective owners. Imgur directs full legal responsibility of files to their respective users.
To answer the other part of your question, AFAIK, there is now way to associate any particularly licensing information to an image hosted on imgur. IANAL, but it sure seems like this should mean that nobody has any rights to your image, other then what is needed to view it while it is hosted on imgur. It seems to me that you could link to the image from a blog or something and spell out any particular rights or license that you wish to use for use beyond viewing on imgur.
You need to do the following:
A Select images for this album pop-up then appears. The boxes on the left allow to add images that are not in albums, or all images.
So click on Non-album images, select the ones you want moved into the selected album, then click Save.

I can't actually find it documented anywhere, but I uploaded an image and played with the "More Sizes" list:
Original

I haven't included the image inline, because StackExchange would automatically scale it down. To view the original at its full size, click the link.
