Hi would anyone know why some people can’t see my uploaded images?

This is the thread.

I can see the image I uploaded via Tapatalk but it’s not visible on the website.

Just to add for diagnostic purposes, the image IS visible if someone quotes the message in question. However, once the reply (and quote) is published, the image is again replaced by the "not found" icon...

Sounds like an @arn question to me!

Indeed and I tagged him in the post itself but not sure if he checks the other forums or has his tagged notifications turned on.

In the post, your image is being fetched from the remote CDN (that's used by TapaTalk), by the local MR image handler when viewed through the web.

i.e., this is the image URL in your post:

https://forums.macrumors.com/proxy.php?image=https%3A%2F%2Fuploads.tapatalk-cdn.com%2F20200422%2Fd293546b1979b7ba75e032b3c7c27251.plist&hash=91dafc8ddc74cd60dfb9f0b64d943a65

I believe that additional hash parameter is causing the issue because you can't access that endpoint directly with it, i.e.

//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200422/d293546b1979b7ba75e032b3c7c27251.plist&hash=91dafc8ddc74cd60dfb9f0b64d943a65

Won't work, but this does, which is the URL used when you quote your post:

//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200422/d293546b1979b7ba75e032b3c7c27251.plist

I believe when you quote it, it fetches the stored endpoint directly, but he original image post adds a identifier that's craps out the CDN endpoint.

Short term solutions:

- Post image using a web browser, directly to MR
- Post images to an image hosting service, and simply link to the image in your post

Good point. Didn’t think about that. I can do that. However, it used to work fine before so something has changed in the last few days.

Yeah, there's a few different moving parts: this forum software, Tapatalk and their CDN, so it's hard to determine where the issue originated. For quick uploads of say, a pic of some soup, I just rely on the forum, but for your photography, you'd probably be better off using some kind of image service. You can share it multiple times using the same resource, probably have better control of the quality (some of these systems really compress down images), etc.

Great photo BTW

Good idea. I’ve never considered using a dedicated image server to be honest. Most of my images are uploaded directly to iCloud and google photos but don’t think sharing those pictures here will work.

Thanks that was on my trip to Australia in December last year when everything was burning there.
