They may have added some anti-embedding code?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

Which browser are you using on your phone?

(It's not loading for me on chrome, but other browsers it is, probably because it's a bin file)

Having a strange issue... embedded GCMap images are not showing for me. Works fine on my phone, no go on my computer. Already cleared the cache for both DDF and GCMap with no luck. Other embedded images work fine.

Example - there should be a map here, but I'm showing nothing:



Any suggestions?
On mobile Chrome doesn't work other browser does

Very interesting, looks like that could indeed be the issue. I've reached out to the guy who runs the site, let's see what he says.

HTTPS is coming, but needs some server upgrades so it’s not as simple as it would seem. Absent that, you can save the image and use that with it linked to the original.

So basically for now it should be treated like any other image - save, host, and embed.

This has probably been requested many times before, but I'll ask again.
Can we please have a politics board separate from JS, and posts won't either count there?
It's really annoying to step over all the politics threads.
Maybe @Yo ssi can start a poll to get an idea if people are interested in this

You're better off leaving JS the way it is, and making a Safe Space board - no talk of religion, politics, or controversial topics allowed. What's left? Who knows...

After seeing these two things:

And
https://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=119773.50
There needs to be a discussion about the forums are not being your marketing platform (unless you are paying dd) (and not either to let you rip people off) rather it's to let people know what's out there, and show the advantages of your product, not cursing out what will make you lose business.

I like that idea.
Remind me in like 3 months, if my life is less crazy than it is now maybe I'll make an SMF mod to do that... :)

(the tricky part is going to be figuring out a user-friendly way for people to decide if the picture (or video for that matter) should be hidden or not)
Bump paging @whYME

The best implication should be to try to make thumbnails as a first choice (only available via postimages (and even then not always)), with a fall back to it being links.
