forum links changing (pictures)

[Darlene Te'len]

it is possible i am using the least practical link for linking pictures to the forum, since occasionally the links change and the pictures disappear on the forum

here is the (possibly a poor choice) way i link my pictures

i have been putting the pictures up on discord, and linking from the pictures that are displayed on discord (normally the art thread)

this is to see if there is a way i can keep the links valid longer and suggestions on how to achieve that

thank you

If you link from discord it will be that

Discord kinda deletes stuff hosted there after a few months

@Darlene-Te-len please post here links to specific posts where the image was lost. Once you do we can have @DoctorDeth take a closer look.

here is a link

https://nodebb.cityofarabel.com/topic/60381/barena-von-viker-artist/61?page=4

all the links on that page are no longer valid

i suspect it is something i could do to prevent this, any help would be greatly appreciated, i know rebuilding it will be a time consuming task, but it will give me something to do when i am in game

@Darlene-Te-len Nothing is getting deleted. Links to Discord attachments will start to expire if you access them from services other than the Discord client. E.g., if you post a link to a message attachment in this comment thread, it will eventually return an error when accessed. The announcement is in a recent message in #api-announcements in the /discord-developers official server.

Solution: Upload the images to a more permanent storage space (e.g. Google Photos, Flicker, lmgur, etc.) or the forums themselves.

@DoctorDeth i will try to correct this, by putting them to a more permanent host, they are currently only on the discord

this is of course if i get past my most recent "crisis"
