Screenshots vanished [SOLVED]

[StevenDeckard]

Hi there,

I wonder: did something change on your ends forum-wise? We noticed that about 2 weeks ago all of our screenshots on the last two forum pages of our clan thread here on the APB Forum (https://forums.gamersfirst.com/topic/13129-lapd-squad-police-rp-clan/page/23/) have vanished. Nothing was changed on our ends and the linked images are actually still accessible on our discord, so they should still work fine here too?  I hope you can shed some light onto that issue.

Thanks!

Hello StevenDeckard,

As far as I can tell, nothing has changed on our forums. Though, something might have happened with the image hosting site you are using.

Please feel free to update your posts with new links.

@Azukii - Thanks for getting back to me about this. It is a very weird issue, as all of our screenshots are hosted on our discord server and then linked here, so they should work (since none of them were actually deleted on our end or moved). Might be that discord changed something? But then again none of the older screenshots have any issues, since they are still displayed normally. Well I guess if all fails we will have to update all the postings and re-link everything.

Again thanks for your time mate!

@Azukii - Hey mate, I thought I let you know as well, just in case this comes up again (as I am sure others will also run into this issue eventually). I did uncover what the problem with the vanishing screenshots is: Discord apparently has changed their URL format to fight against being used as a file/image hosting site. This means that discord links are no longer suitable to post images, as the linked images will not show up correctly (i.e. the link gets corrupted).
