Past posts with images
« on: April 21, 2018, 21:29:24 PM »
It seems that when searching historical (recent) posts you don't see images in that post.

e.g. lotty June 09 2017 -  http://www.calis-beach.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=60169.msg440290#msg440290

Any reason why ?

Is it because her host is Photobucket and they've started charging ?

No, her image host is postimg.org and they appear to have issues.  The forum's default image provider is postimages.org so nothing to do with us.

Are there an plans to change the forum's image provider ?.

Or are past photographs "lost" if posted using postimg.org :(

No plans to change the default image host, we have used postimages.org since day one.

The issue is with postimg.org, who have had their domain name locked by their registrar and are now operating as postimg.cc.  As a result, all images posted using their original url will fail to load.  If this ends up being a permanent change I'll look at altering the posted images code globally.
