Why am I suddenly seeing "Image Link" in some posts but not in others?

Using the mobile version, I'm suddenly seeing "Image Link" in some threads when a user has posted a picture but in other threads I can see the image.

See screen shots here:

In this thread all I see is the words "Image Link". It's in normal text, not in blue or underlined text like most hyper-links are. If I click the words it takes me to the image. (this is just 1 example. It's happened in several different threads and on different boards.)



But in this thread, the picture posts fine in the user's post.

I'm seeing that as well. I just tried to post a sig pic for someone & it posted as "Image Link" with no pic, but the pic showed up when I previewed it before posting - just not in the post. ... Are you using photobucket? Not sure if that would be the issue, though. I'll try imgur.

Eta - tried it with both pbucket & imgur & neither will post the pic, only the "Image Link" text.

This is happening to me too, in both desktop and mobile versions. One thread in particular, I know there were pictures there before, but now there are only links that say "Image Link." Clicking on one will take me to the picture unless the poster wrote "width=XYZ" after.

ETA: For some reason, I can see the pictures in the OP.

They are working on getting the Twitter embed tweets working so they had to take a few hamsters offline from the normal [img][ /img]

As of now, the change is as follows:

On old posts (older than 30 days), if the image is not hosted at certain image hosting sites (eg, imgur, photobucket, tinypic, imageshack,), then a link to the image will appear instead of the image appearing in the post.

This is subject to change, but this is the current logic.
