What are you expecting to gain by hovering?
Imgur states: "After upload, you can hover over an image to get the share links for posting on a forum or sending to someone."
Plus:
"If you do hover, you'll see options:
"Edit image: If you need to crop, rotate, add text, or edit that image, now's your chance!
"Get share links: Looking for HTML or BBCode? This is where you'll find it!
"Download image: This lets you download the image.
"Delete image: If you click this, you'll be given these two options.
• Remove from this Post: The image will no longer appear on this post but will still be uploaded on Imgur and can be found by its direct link.
• Delete Image from Account: The image will be removed from the post and also deleted from your Imgur account and Imgur."
What happens if rather than cutting & pasting the URL you simply hit copy? (And under any circumstances, if you don't want others to see your account page, why don't you upload without logging in? Do you gain anything meaningful by logging in?)
Not cutting and pasting; dragging and dropping as recommended.
Logging in keeps images private; not logging in makes images universally available to anyone accessing Imgur.
