[BUG] Embeded images stopped working.

MXXIV··4 votes·5,588 views

I used embeded images a lot to make my posts more clear. For those who are unavare of it, embeded images can be entered by ![title text](scheme://url). Well they could be earlier today.

But not any more. This boards have many problems but until now, the thought that they are just stupid joke never crossed my mind. By the way, as the board developers always only do their job half, the images still work in notifications:

I am 100% absolutely without a doubt sure that spiting you is the soul reason for them not working. Good job Riot.

I don't understand the 'spiting you' part. Maybe my English is not good enough?

This was an intentional change we made as part of a larger Markdown cleanup. You can still embed images by placing the URL in your post by itself.

I've definitely had some times where i've wanted to just leave a link and not have a giant post because of embedded images. Thanks for this, it actually helps a lot.

I have a strong suspition this change was implemented because of your problem with huge images I have pointed out recently. This change destroyed all my posts.

It's really strange how you solve client problems on server and server problems on client. The former is of course even more dangerous for you (and more fun for me).

This disallows user to post an image description. It disallows you to post link to image when you want. I can see why you did it, but please note that other sites like StackOverflow have no problems with images from different domains. Your resizer script will also mess up many images, I'm pretty sure about that.

I agree with MXXIV - the way you're handling the Markdown now is not very standard... Github and Stackoverflow both use the syntax of ![](some url), and I much prefer it. It was working just fine before, and now my old posts are all broken... :(
