Hi, does anyone know how come images sometimes post as links, instead of images, post-the Rich Text Editor update?

Imgs are png and jpg, so I don't think it's a format issue.

    Given that the "Iinks" just lead to a broken image URL I have a strong suspicion that the issue is your images, not the forums in this case. I'm not able to replicate your issue.

    Give it a try with some other images; if you continue to have issues please reach out to our support team (https://myfitnesspal.zendesk.com/hc/en-us or email directly to support@myfitnesspal.com) and we can troubleshoot some more.

    Thank you for looking at them, @durden . If you could give me an idea of what might be wrong with them, I'd know what to look at to find the problem. AFAIK, they're no different in any way to any others that I've posted. They are png screenshots from my phone, downloaded to my laptop and uploaded here, and a jpg, downloaded from email, and uploaded to here.

    I'll try an upload again here:

    Same thing, just links. But, the images haven't been manipulated by another program in any way, they're the same as other phone screenshots I've downloaded to my laptop and uploaded here (which, btw, how come you can't upload directly from an Android, anyway? Only directly from iphone, or from laptop?)

    The exact images are uploaded to a spreadsheet, here : https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IMW485bA19cnVYlWph-c19RbwmhDH5P5PRzFvnzj86s/edit?gid=1684398071#gid=1684398071&range=A910:H930

    If you'd like to / have time to look at them and see if there's a problem with the images?

    Yeah, still not able to replicate (It's also pulling over your spreadsheet data which is fun). Also, very cool spreadsheet. Nice work.

    Do you have this issue with all images or just these ones? If it's just with these images I would suggest utilizing an image hosting service like Imgur (there's a billion of them though) and using the link. I can't copy the images directly from your sheet and the images above are broken, so aside from adding different images I can't directly replicate what you're doing.

    Thanks for taking the time. No, it's just these images, it's the first time I've come across it. TY, on the spreadsheet! I've been teaching myself Google Sheets, lol .

    I'm actually in the middle of resetting the boards for the new week, I was wondering if it would look like a mess heh
