hello,

images are not loading on my blog. the problem looks to be when i use the “Insert an Image from the Web” function. but not across the board.

i get a question mark… and clicking on the link works, but the image doesn’t load.

see an example here: http://msmlska.com/2014/11/03/vice-lahaina-halloween-2014/

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Do you have specific written permission to use the image(s) in question? Where are they found? Please provide the URLs as most of us do not wish to have anyone wasting our bandwidth by hotlinking to any of our images.

the images are mine, hosted on other sites where i post my photos.

in the example earlier, that was a tumblr blog i made for that particular project.

here’s another exmample (same issue, photo’s are also mine from a lomography project): http://msmlska.com/2014/08/25/traversing-yunan-china-captured-on-120mm/

i don’t quite understand hotlinking… but i am 100% these photo’s are mine.

Hi @msmlska, I spot checked a few of those image URLs. Some return 404 errors like this:

Others return 403 errors:

If those image links work for you, please consider downloading the images, then uploading them to your site. Some hosts will prevent you from using their bandwidth to display images on sites outside their services.
