Since I upgraded to 4.5 when adding an imagelink into a post the image does not show up but

shows a link instead (see attachment).

The images previously posted before the upgrade all show.

Any idea why this happening and how to change this?

 

 

 

BB code support is turned off by default in 4.5. Just post the image URL itself. Wrapping an image URL with bb code isn’t needed anymore for years. 

Funny thing is that I did not wrap the image url. It posted it that way.

I enabled BBcode and let's see how that  goes.

Thanks for the reply!

As an advance notice for you, BBcode will be deprecated and no longer supported by IPS, so it's in your best interests to not rely on BBcode moving forward.

So what do you suggest I do? I have literally 1000s of images on my site?

It has nothing to do with existing images. You users should just learn not to paste BB code into the editor anymore. 

The setting referenced only impacts your ability to use the bbcode tags when submitting a post

[img]url here[/img]

Instead you can simply paste that URL into the editor and it should display as an image.
