Linking pics stopped working

[ferider]

Linking to images between IMG tags only gives me an icon crossed in red in a thread. When I edit my post I see the full picture.

What changed ?

Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere. I searched around the recent tech support posts and couldn’t find anything.

I’ve noticed a lot of images not showing up in posts lately, and instead you get this small error image with a red X, like this:

If you quote the image, it actually shows up in the box where you write your post:

But it seems when you actually post the quote, you just get the error again.

It looks like it’s happening with third party hosted images. I actually noticed it on an old post of mine (all my pics are hosted on Imgur). I also checked to see if it was happening just on my phone, but the same photos showed up as errors when I checked on my computer, too.

Is everyone else seeing these? Spark any idea what’s going on here? I can provide links to examples if it helps. Thanks!

So since you guys are paying members, why do you use flickr n such? Isn't easier to upload to the forum directly? Just curious ..

Can’t upload pics at reasonable resolution, TA. Plus I have all my photography on smugmug. Keeps the ownership/copyright clean.

Same here just now on the KA-BAR forum

Using Smugmug, got the Red X

I logged out of, and back into both here and smugmug , it didn't help.

What is really weird is when I click "EDIT" the photos show up as they should be, but when I click "SAVE" I get the Red X again.

I've been noticing this for the past few weeks, but came across it on an old thread, which was brought up again yesterday. All the photos are hosted in the same place, yet some still show, and some don't. The last time I saw this thread was a couple of weeks ago, and all the pics were showing then

Just tried Imgur with the same syntax and it works.

Just linking from Smugmug doesn’t. Spark ?

Using postimg here, same problem. Since it’s different hosting sites this is a problem caused by the forum software.

Let me try Imgur.

Also having trouble posting from a 3rd party site. Red X. I can see it when I Edit, but not when I Save.

Some sort of Cloud thing I guess.

I’ve seen the issue with Imgur posts, as well, at least on some older posts, like this one. It’s my post, so I know the images still exist on Imgur and should work, but about a third of them show up as the red X, while the other images in the same post show up just fine.

 

[LostViking]

This is what I get. If I click edit I see the photo

 

[Random Dan]

I just had this happen as well trying to use flickr.

 

[BuckShack]

I wonder if someone is working on this. Will the IT crowd see our posts here?
