Forum and website • Re: Can't use img tags

I was brought here from a discussion in a different thread of mine: https://forum.palemoon.org/viewtopic.ph ... 41#p274341

Imgur is being obnoxious (I've long since moved to using and recommending imgBB) with their routing, but the validation this forum does for IMG tags is the real problem. Without that validation in place, the embedded images will work just fine.

Since there is no actual image on the other end of the line, the forum can't get image data from what is returned

This may be the case for the validation code, but ultimately the URL does return an image when embedded. So the validation code is getting served one type of content, and embedding the image via the same URL works just fine.

The forum's validation code/technique is the problem here IMO.

I am happy to describe more of the issue and provide more evidence if needed.
