Why am I having trouble seeing images?

Question

This is happening to me frequently where I'm not able to see pictures on some questions. I know I was able to see these pictures earlier so I'm not sure what the problem is. I'm using the same updated browser, Firefox. I also tried on Chrome and my phone but they aren't loading still.

can confirm, not seeing these images either

Weird. I replaced the URLs from static.wikia.nocookie.net to vignette.wikia.nocookie.net and it started working. I have no idea why wiki started giving out links that do not work though.

I know wiki moved to a new platform so not sure if that's the reason

Heya! Hope you all doing well. Just wanted to shared that I'm still having problem to see the pics added.

Yeah, same here.

Answer 1

It seems that some changes on the Tibia Wiki side caused the problems. I compared the URLs of the images from the past and current URLs and noticed a difference:

Previous: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/tibia/images/e/e1/Cluster_of_Solace.gif/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/32?cb=20131204024157&path-prefix=en

Now: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/tibia/images/e/e1/Cluster_of_Solace.gif/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/32?cb=20131204024157&path-prefix=en

Changing static to vignette in the image URLs manually seems to be workaround that helps.

Please note, however, that the recommended way to add images is always to upload them! Images referenced by URL can stop working at any time (dependency on the server they are located on) and cause your question/answer to take longer to load since there's a need to fetch resources from an external server.

Answer 2

Maybe it's not your problem, but author of the question pasted link after choosing "copy link location" not direct link to the picture. I can see exactly the same graphics.

EDIT:

I checked it in one of your answer - about NPC Cillia and there was a link to image from tibia.fandom. I wanted to correct it but result was the same. I guess that something is wrong with direct links to the images from this particular fansite.

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/tibia/images/a/a4/Cillia.gif/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/42?cb=20090622142833&path-prefix=en

On the other hand I checked tibiawiki.com.br:

https://www.tibiawiki.com.br/images/a/a4/Cillia.gif

Where you can see that in the end of the link is ".gif" and it works correctly.
