I tried linking to Photobucket and Imgur, as I've done on these boards over a thousand times (literally).  No images are shown.

Existing images are still shown, as usual.  But anything new gives me the little broken box that represents a bad link.

Glad I'm not the only one.  My 13-year campaign has over 70K posts, and we are heavy users of visual aids.

In reply to buzzkill007 (msg # 2):

Where are you hosting your images?  Is it Photobucket or Imgur, like Lance H?

I know Photobucket made some changes last year that meant you could only post images to another site if you paid Photobucket.  So it could be some change at your hosting site.

I just tried posting an image from the site where I host stuff, and it worked just fine.

I've got them on imgbb. They were working fine a few days ago.

Maybe I'm entering the code wrong? Should it be something like this:

I believe it needs to be an image format, such as .jpg or .png - what you have there will not work.

Ah. Maybe that's what I'm doing wrong... I'll try again. Thanks!

Yep. That's what it was. Thanks again for the help.

It's working now.  I have done nothing differently.

I guess it was a glitch in the Matrix.
