For years, I've posted images from my website using [img] and [/img]
When I view my posts, all I see is a blue question mark. For instance, this picture:

Now if you click on the blue question mark, it will take you to my photo.
Now if I use the insert image from the toolbar above, my image appears.

So why doesn't [img] [/img] work anymore?
I see two pics of the same watch. No blue question mark.
Likewise....2 of the same pics. And no blue question mark, either...maybe it fell onto the ground?

Same here...
Hey Grumpy. There is something going on. The site will not keep me logged in even when I check the remember me box and quite a few pictures don't show up properly until I re-log-in. It's all changed since the google cloud thing went into effect.

works for me....
I’m glad you guys can see my photos, but whether I use Safari or Chrome, I get the blue ? boxes. Only site I’m having this issue.
That is very odd indeed.Quote:

Note: As per this screen grab, I now can't see your first pic. Anyone else?

I'm still seeing both!

Hmmmmmmm? I could see both his pics until I actually posted my [IMG] [\img]Flickr pic, which I can still see. After that, his first pic disappeared (for me) on my regular desktop computer, I can still see both on my Chrome Notebook and cell phone. Very Strange? :confused1:Quote:

Here's a direct link to a picture on my site: http://grumpyguyinc.com/wp-content/u...1/IMG_5516.jpg
Question is, why in the past has WTF allowed my photos to be posted via the [img]/[/img] and now you require it to be an https site? Can you explain why?
This may not be anything, but could it have anything to do with your using
lower case letters [img][/img] in your brackets instead of upper case letters [IMG][/IMG] ?
I tried that Comenthunter, it doesn't work either : ). If I read her response correctly, if one's website, like mine, starts with http instead of https, WTF doesn't allow me to insert photos.
Here's the thing, to get a SSL certificate, which then gives you the https address, it costs an extra $59 a year to do so. I could post photos for years without issue. I'm not going to spend $59 on this. Let's face it, WTF is lightly read these days. Why make it harder for loyal posters to post? This is their problem or decision and they ought to reverse it if they don't want to lose more loyal followers. Uploading a photo to your site using the attachment is fine and all, but it is less time consuming for me to just link to my own site using the [img] tags.
I understand why they went to the https;// because it offers much better security than a standard site and lets face it, the 'net isn't very secure these days. I dont understand what the cause is of your issues unless it is simply that your photo host doesn't use an https:// address. I dont use a photo host and simply store/upload direct from my computer without any problems.
That's what I'm doing, and I like it here, but its just another impediment.Quote:

This isn't our doing, Chrome, Firefox and Safari are blocking the images as they look at the as security risks. Other members have updated their hosting site to https using free certs online, so I think there are free options out there.
