So previously for skin submitted on this website, you could take the embed code and simply toss it on the minecraftfroums.net post and it would show an image of the character as well as a link next to it linking back to the skin on this site. However now all it does is link to the image only with no link to the downloadable content. is this a change on this website's part due to bandwidth shortages or was it something done by minecraftforums.net in which chance would it be possible for you to add another button with a new code for getting the embed code to work for their site. thank you very much

So far all of the working examples are hosted on photobucket, imageshack or imgur. Edit: tinypic & dropbox work as well.

1) Tested a png hosted here and it didn't work embbedded over there.
2) Searched for a random images online and tried to embed them, also didn't work.

So it's not just us. I think it must be blocking all images unless they are on major image host. Will browse and see where other working images are hosted.

and no it doesnt seem to just be singling us out. I think it has more to do with the service type, or even the the file formate. as it seems that anything not a png is being pushed out although there do seem to be some expceptions. im not really sure what the pattern is thou.

It's their site. I'm not sure if they singled us out or if it's affecting other domains. It's odd though, if I upload a banner to imgur.com and then replace the image path in my official forum sig, it works... I don't see why they wouldn't allow the image to be hosted here. Hmm. Anyone seeing other images replaced on the site with a link that says, "Click to view"?
