+Stamp My Art Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) I have a number of puzzles dependent on (generally simple) animated gifs for solving. Several years ago when Ground Speak removed the ability to have animated images hosted through GS, and no longer allowed off-site hosting with the exceptions of Google Drive or OneDrive, I made sure to correct all pages needing the animations. They have been working fine, but yesterday I noticed that everyone of the animated images does not display. Only a broken image link or the alt text shows on the page. The animations are still functioning on Google Drive, and they will display if one right clicks and opens the image in a new tab, but they are NOT displaying on the actual page. I tried to contact GS, but it said to come here first. So, any idea what is going on with the images? What changes? caused this break? Thanks! ***Links to some of the puzzle pages so you can see the issue** https://coord.info/GC9YM23 (broken link symbol) https://coord.info/GCAET9D (only the alt text showing) Edited January 17 by Stamp My Art add links to cache pages 1 1 Quote Link to comment
Keystone Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 There is a related discussion of this bug in the General Geocaching Topics forum. It's good to have a separate thread here in the bug reporting forum, so that HQ will see it. 2 Quote Link to comment
+Stamp My Art Posted January 17 Author Share Posted January 17 @KeystoneOkay, I posted there in case that one needed more input to capture attention. Thank you. 1 1 Quote Link to comment
+Stamp My Art Posted January 28 Author Share Posted January 28 Dear Groundspeak, can you return the ability to post animations from within the site rather than having to use off-site locations which as it turns out breaks! Just asking 1 Quote Link to comment
+fizzymagic Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 The image functionality of the geocaching site has declined in a never-reversing way since about 2015. It is likely never to get better, only worse. Sorry. 5 Quote Link to comment
