Have pictures disappeared?

Since the website/software update last year (I do not find topics about that anymore, alas), picture handling had much improved. I must explain I post 2 kind of pictures on this forum:
A/ Ones from my personal domain (twin-boomers, Mustangs, asymmetric planes, my plastic models)
B/ Other ones special for here, not actually from myself (posted on Imgur website, now that Photobucket has chased away its customers)
Well, B always work, but A had a problem for an unknown reason before the update, more than 60% of the days the pictures with {img] {/img] not showing, while the link towards them could show them but requiring a special click, not immediate view.
Since the update, the 60% of bad days had disappeared miraculously (100% good days!), and I was even thinking not to add the link anymore after each picture post, as no need.
But today without notice comes a new bad day for that, and as far as I know it may be 100% of bad days from now on, I don't know.

So:
1/ Does someone know what happens between these bad days and good days?
2/ Will there be in the future 100% of bad days (for picture showing)?

Hmmmm. This is strange, and new to me.
I do not see the pictures that you have posted recently. I looked up a few:
https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=4461.3075
https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=51485.0
https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=51469.15

The (img) tagged pictures are not showing.

When I looked https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=29716.825 there were also picture links and they worked.
I noticed that there the tags were upper case: (IMG).

Tophe

Thanks.
I try here with upper case IMG to see or not:

No, it does not work, and my Imgur pictures with low case img work... like in https://www.whatifmodellers.com/index.php?topic=51238.msg996997 (April 23 entry of mine).
The puzzle remains.
Let's hope it will have disappeared tomorrow with zero bad days in the future... :unsure:  :-\

So, pictures from other sites work but pictures from your site do not.

Could your site have some setting that blocks the pictures, or some "bandwidth" limit that prevents viewing them on other sites?

Tophe

To upload I use FileZilla software, and there are not such settings.
Maybe I will check with my domain provider, but why depend it on days, with full months without problems then all blocked? (if this is a problem of bandwith or similar)

Tophe

I try with URL and IMG (linked BB Code)


No success either...

I have phoned to my web domain provider and it is confirmed i have no access to the bandwidth. But the lady said I  am located on a very old thing to be updated. I have bought the new one and I have to transfer all there, in the days to come. We will see.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Tophe

I have activated the new support and the result is opposite: impossible to see anymore my pictures, not only with IMG but even clicking on its full address now...
Probably I will require (and pay) their technical assistance tomorrow... :-\  :unsure:

I tried looking at the new pics you put up on your twin seat Mustang mate and yeah even your links are poked Tophe.
Keep getting a 404 error when you open a link .
Something weird is going on here bud 🤔
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Tophe

I have ordered the technical assistance yesterday morning and it was expected a result yesterday evening but not yet. And they say no transfer ever on Friday, nor the week-end, and Monday (May 1st) is a day off here, so I hope Tuesday 02nd... :unsure:  :-\
(And I have a bank issue with my Internet payments, maybe refused, I must go to the bank today to fix it, will that make another 1-day delay? thus result wednesday 03rd?)

I see the profile image OK - but the whole https://www.kristofmeunier.fr/ site seems to be a blank.

Tophe

The profile image of mine was not a human grey silhouette byu a slanting view of P-38 single-engine pusher on white background. It seems disappeared on my screen. Maybe toniqht improvement, or tuesday...
