Image insertion broken?

[scaesare]

Inserting an image, either via Cut-n-Paste or file upload, appears to be broken... a few of us noticed beginning over the weekend (of course it may have started earlier).

Interestingly, the pasted pic initially appears in the body of the post with resize handles, etc.. (after a long pause), but error text then pops up, and the "broken image" icon shows up instead. Attempting to upload a pic generates an "Oops" msg as well.

I am seeing the same issue.
Mine responds with,

"Image cannot be loaded from the passed link"

Which when googled seems to might be related to some nodeJS code?

Yes, been an issue last 24 hours. I’d upload a screen shot of the error message, but it doesn’t work.

Attachments, Drop an Image and Cut and Paste. All fail.

Does the server side storage space need increasing?

"The uploaded image is too big"

TLDR: "The uploaded image is too big" error message on TMC might refer to a limit on the physical (pixel) dimensions of an image, not the number of bytes in the file. Got a brand new iPhone 15 Pro to replace my old iPhone 11. I started getting a bunch of new problems uploading files into...

It fails on a small image too.

Guessing an upgrade or patch was applied and it changed a setting on the server.

Your picture isn't showing.

Not a user issue.

Yeah, sorry. Was trying to refer to Dougs comment mid thread where he had to increase image storage size on the server. Or tried. Or it might actually be the problem this time.

This may be part of the issue.

As per the Cloudflare documentation: https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/e...6-Understanding-Cloudflare-Hotlink-Protection​

​

You can do a few different things to implement the hotlink-ok folder:​

1. Create a folder in the WordPress root called hotlink-ok and inside of the folder create a symbolic link to the folders you need access to. (i.e. wp-content)​

2. Use Apache or Nginx to create an alias folder.​

​

Either way, this is the easiest way to retain cloudflare's hotlink protection.​

About the same time the automatic X post expanding stopped working as well...

Interestingly, the issue with X posts no longer opening in a new tab I reported a bit back is now fixed (along with a site icon next to the link).

Wonder if it was a forum update that fixed the latter, but broke the former....

To be clear the error message is: Image cannot be loaded from the passed link.

It’s a photo I took, being pulled from my pc.

work around by using [ img ] [ / img ] type bbcode, must be link to external image and not a local device upload.

I’ve seen that error since yesterday, and ALSO an error that “you do not have privileges” or “are not authorized” to do this action.. among other things. I think it is just errors of course. There have also been what appear to be in-line updates to forum software, like the new NEW RED flags on posts. So, maybe something broke in place?

Just tried it again, seems to be working and legacy loaded images seem to be catching up.. odd, that’s going to create a tad bit of server overload.

Yep, it's working.

Who ever fixed it, thanks.

Sorry about that. Should now be fixed.
