Embedded photos not displaying

Post Wed Apr 18, 2018 5:56 pm


Hello!

The photos embedded in this forum post on DPReview:

https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/60052773

are not showing. When I copy the links (click on "original size") they do not come up, nor do they come up if I paste the link to the photo in the browser. For example, the link to the first photo in the link is:

http://m4.i.pbase.com/o10/41/399841/1/1 ... 948101.jpg

but it does not display. However, other photos do work. For example, all the photos in this post:

https://www.dpreview.com/forums/post/39537128

work just fine. So what's going on and how can it be fixed?

I'm not 100% sure, but it appears to me that perhaps you've installed a URL pointing to a temporary server instead of the generic URL for the images?

In the one that works, if I cursor over "View: original size" the URL shown in my browser is a typical www.pbase.com/joemama/13123456/original.jpg.

If I cursor over the similar link in that page that doesn't work I see something along the lines of m9.i.pbase.com/o10/41/399841/... and a bunch of cryptic character strings ...

I suppose if the upload to that other forum does some "stuff" it is perhaps possible something has changed in the way it interacts with the image host since the last time you uploaded images. I have not so far ever used it, but if you open an edit on an individual image in your PBase gallery there is a link called "direct link" which pops up a URL to use for that image -- actually when I just now tried it, there were two links, one for an https: secure protocol -- maybe they are working toward that too.

I too have gotten broken links. I am having to do several galleries with broken links to images in In Box that is not visible and very time consuming to find those images with the broken links.
I edit the broken link by deleting much of the 'address' See sample below

Broken link:
<img src="http://m3.i.pbase.com/g9/20/1081720/3/158011773.qJyahYCD.jpg"> this is the broken link.

THE FIX

I edit this by deleting many of the characters (in red) so that just pbase.com and image number.jpg are left

The LAST set of numbers before the letters.jpg, is the image #, remember to delete the numbers after that image number

delete the m3.i.
delete the series of letters/numbers in the slashes in this case /g9/20/1081720/3 - REPLACE that with 'image'
Corrected link: <img src="http://pbase.com/image/158011773.jpg">

Be sure that you have only onne "." before jpeg

I originally had used "copy image location' when in the edit mode and for some reason most of those are not dead links. I suspect the server was updated??
