Why do graphics I've inserted display as a placeholder after editing a post? They were all there, and I can edit them back in again, but that's a royal PITA. What is going on?
This is the thread: https://ogrforum.com/...remote-control-topic
Here's one example of what happens. It's happened several times now.

@gunrunnerjohn, I have fallen victim to the automated Crowdstack URL parser/shortener routine used. I've seen it affect links, images, and videos. If you were to click the "<>" button on your affected post, you would see that the URLs for the resources are incomplete. It can sometimes be a pain to get them corrected and stick...
Test image...
The above test image is linked as follows and mangled by the Crowdstack parser: https://ogrforum.com/fileSendAction/fcType/0/fcOid/149802438915415905/filePointer/149802438915415930/fodoid/149802438915415920/imageType/MEDIUM/inlineImage/true/433mhz%2520Receiver%25204-Channel%2520[Relay%2529.png
The correct link is this: https://ogrforum.com/fileSendAction/fcType/0/fcOid/149802438915415905/filePointer/149802438915415930/fodoid/149802438915415920/imageType/MEDIUM/inlineImage/true/433mhz%2520Receiver%25204-Channel%2520%28Relay%2529.png
Oddly, I can click on that displayed name and my graphic comes up. That being the case, I can't imagine why they can't find it when the render the page! If the name is incorrect, Crowdstack is to blame, I used the Add Attachments and then clicked the "Insert" link.
@gunrunnerjohn, if you look at my edited example from your thread, you will see that the URL encoding around "special" characters is not being handled properly by Crowdstack, in this case the "[" character instead of the proper URL Encoded %28 character (which interestingly enough is a "(" character). Bottom line, they have something screwy going on.

I just want the graphics to work.
