Hello, I  had my dev convert our Vbulletin 4 forum to Invision Community on the 1st of January. For the most part things seem to be fine baring a few items I will be posting about in the future.

One such issue is that any image that we linked to the forum no longer displays.

On the old forum the image would load. The only way to fix this other than going in manually? I set the option in admin CP to allow http: links as well.

 

Thanks

Hi,

By default Invision Community won't embed http:// images (note these are not vBulletin attachments but externally linked images) since they'll cause the page to show insecure warnings. In this situation the image is replaced with a link.

Hello, thank you for the replay. if the external images where to be https: would that make any difference? Is there any other action I can take other than going in manually?

If they were https:// they'd be displayed inline as expected, however that's something you would need to do prior to the conversion. At this point, fixing them manually would be your only solution.

Thanks for the prompt response. Darn, I wish I would have known prior would have had my dev think of something we have over a couple hundred images.

You could always create a custom script to scan all posts and update external images using HTTP to use HTTPS. In any case there's no tool to "fix" this problem in Invision Community.
