Changing forum image

Really irrelevant and will be deleted if I can, but what is that white rectangle when I try to change my image. what about the url? do I just input an images url?

I’ve found it doesn’t work if the URL is https. Just change it to http and it should be fine.

@Riven: Any particular reason for this?

I figured it out. I just had to go to the image’s properties and copy url. I apologize for such an irrelevant post

Since the images are direct links instead of being cached on the JGO server, I would imagine it has to do with the https protocol preventing the serving of secured content (your https image) over a non secured connection. I’d think that even if JGO was an https based site, the mismatch in security certificates would still prevent hot linking to a secure image source. I could be mistaken though.

@CodeHead: only the opposite it true: showing non-secure content in a secure page is usually blocked. Showing secure content in a non-secure context is fine.

As for the problem: it seems (?) he tried to use an URL to a webpage as an URL to embed an image, which is going to fail, regardless of http/https context.
