Unable to link to wiki images

[LegoLad659]

So, I don't know if this is a result of the site update or not, but for the past few days I've been unable to embed images that come from wiki pages (Specifically links that start with "vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net"). I was able to embed the same images in the past, before the site update, but now the site won't accept them.


Example:

No matter what I try, I can't get this link to turn into an embedded image. Yet, when I try an image from any other site, it works just fine:

I don't know exactly what's going on, but I thought I should bring this up since it's been keeping me from embedding a bunch of pictures

Edit: Seems fine to me.  Make sure that you are copying the image url correctly .

See, that's what's supposed to happen. But I can never get it to work for me. I guess it's just a problem on my end or something?

Are you using a computer or are you using your phone?

Are you using a computer or are you using your phone?

I'm using both a desktop and a laptop, it works on neither.

What exactly happens when you attempt to embed the image?  Do you receive any kind of error message?

When I paste the direct image link, it just pastes the link and doesn't embed automatically like it's supposed to (Shown in my original post) When I try to embed the image using the Insert Other Media button, clicking the insert button does nothing at all, the window just stays open with the image link still inside.

This question will sound silly and it is not meant to be offending, but do you click the 'Insert into post' button after pasting the URL into the prompt box?

My apologies.  It's very late where I am and I should go to bed... but I'm sure most can relate when I say that I simply don't wanna.


My suggestions are this.  Wait a few moments for the prompt box to do whatever it has to do.  I will re-run this scenario a couple of times again in my workshop to make sure that this situation wasn't some kind of anomaly.  If you are still struggling with this issue, right click the image from the wiki, hit 'Google search this image' and run from there.  You should be able to find other copies of the image from various sources.  Best of luck.

It's all good, it's late here where I am too xD


I have tried that in the past as well, and nothing's happened, though I might just not have waited long enough (I only waited about 15 seconds, max) I'll keep that google search thing in mind though, thank you
