Hello,

When I click on a tag, most of the time I will not see any images in the image placeholder. I will see a matrix of colours placeholders but not any of the images within the topics.

I don't think this is a normal behaviour because I see other tags that do display images. Is this a bug?

Thanks

What kind of images are in the topics? It should work for attachments. It won’t read embedded images.

Thanks. In this particular tag, they are embedded images (copied URL link from other areas in my community). I assumed they were taken into consideration too because they are images within the system. I just didn't want to upload the image again because they are already in the system, and there are thousands of them, I would be duplicating thousands of images, not good for the storage capacity.

Thanks

You don’t need to upload them multiple times, but you need to use the attachment function, which allows reuse of existing images.

Yes but now try to find an image amongst thousands and without a name you can track 😂 impossible.

At least we know what the problem is (its not a bug!)

Had that question to, marc answserd that the image should be uploaded in a post, not a embed link to a picture somewhere else.

Because i had also a lot of tags without an image, i made folder with images and just show a random image for the tag. With a script in above link.

You shouldnt try to directly use the link to an item elsewhere, no. But you can use the "insert existing attachment" option, as thats what its designed for
