Inserting image from URL issue

[808Dream 9]

Hi everyone 

Don't know if someone else is experiencing the same issue, but the insert image from URL function doesn't work anymore on this site for me. 

Once the little white windows opens, the circle icon goes on an eternal loop not even letting me reach the box i should be supposed to paste the link. 

This function works correctly on other sites though.

You can post the same image link straight into the box with the rest of your post and let it load for a second (might need to paste the link then hit the enter key) without the 'inster image from url' button

May be connected to the handful of other problems people are having like not being able to like posts or mention another user with the @ .

I had this problem you're describing when I was experiencing those other issues. Even if I could reach the paste box and clicked the "insert into post" button, it would get stuck loading forever.

Fixed by using Firefox.

Oh ok thanks, let's say it'd be great if all sites worked fine on the browser I'm currently using (chrome). 

I guess that if I had to switch to another browser to be able to correctly visit a single site I'd probably end up forgetting to visit that very site sadly 🤔

Same shit happened to me too. I can't insert pictures, tag anyone or even like a comment for over a week. Can someone tag @Elle here.

So for the recent issues some of you may be experiencing with auto-embedding pictures & links, liking posts, using the @ feature, etc -

The reason why this might not be working is because your browser is blocking “insecure content” aka things encoded with http rather than https.

While LanaBoards as a site has a SSL script, these certain features are encoded with http rather than https, which marks the site as partially insecure.

There was a recent update with Chrome that automatically blocked “insecure content” aka http features, which has prevented many users from using the site features encoded with http.

To fix this, I recommend following the instructions in this post.

 

About a year ago, I actually tried to re-encode these features with https rather than http after users voiced concern about seeing the partially insecure warning, but it ended up breaking the features for everyone, so I reverted it. At the time I reached out to both Invision Power (forum software) and my host company (SSL script provider) but unfortunately this was fruitless in solving the problem. Invision Power was helpless (their support team is the worst rip) and while my host company put in a lot of effort to help me, it still didn’t solve the issue as it does seem the issue is more on IP’s side since they provide the forum features that are then encoded.
I reached out to Invision Power again recently after everyone voiced issues about liking posts, but they haven’t been very communicative with me. Hopefully I can provide a permanent solution for everyone soon, but for now the best fix is to make sure your browser isn’t blocking “insecure content” aka http encoded features for LanaBoards. That, or using another browser that does not block this sort of content such as Firefox or Safari x

Is it possible for the service provider to redirect automatically from http to https? I didn't know that Lanaboards supported https, because entering the URL normally redirects to the more secure connection, but here I have to enter https manually.

To clear up confusion, it doesn’t matter the encryption extension of the link of the image file, it’s that the LanaBoards functionality to embed images is encoded in http meaning that if your browser is blocking http/insecure content, the function will not work. To be able to use this function, your browser must allow http/insecure content. Many users are experiencing issues after a recent Chrome update where this content is automatically blocked within the browser settings, and users must now manually set the browser to allow x

I don't know if I'm technologically inept or if its because I use desktop and device interchangeably.. but I don't know 'insert image from url.' I've tried it. I'll try again with a random image.

It works!! As you can see, this is a stellar selfie. I've let myself go a little bit.
