EDIT: the pics seem to be working now, having changed my SSL from FULL to FLEXI on Cloudflare.

ok, so I noticed a bunch of IMG links no longer working... thought it may have been something to do with my recent SQL changes.

turns out it wasn't...

I'll use this link for an example...


in chrome and FF, none of the image links to tinypic show up, but they look fine in IE and Edge.

I made a simple html page here to see if it was just the forums.
the link to tinypic doesn't work, but photobucket does.

links to those same images on tinypic from this site seem to work fine.

anyone ever experience this?

so, if I go with http://www.vanning.com/test.html then tinypic shows up, if I go with https://www.vanning.com/test.html - tinypic doesn't.

Certain CDNs provide hotlink protection which restricts hotlinking from HTTP referrers.

If your inlined images all have HTTP, and your website is now on HTTPS, this could be the problem you're doing with.

In addition, any HTTP elements within a HTTPS page, will trigger a browser warning that the page is potentially insecure due to the HTTP elements. Especially cross-domain elements -- items not on the same domain & protocol as the current page.

yeah, it's something to do with the http vs https settings.
that site tinypic gives big nasty warnings in chrome if you try to access it with https.

Tinypic doesn't support a valid SSL certificate, so if you try to connect to their page over a secure channel it'll fail (as their server doesn't support it):

That's kinda what I was guessing via the testing I was doing.

I wrote up a cool little test script so you could see way was happening, then noticed that they didn't even have a valid certificate.

PhotoBucket offers a similar service, but supports ssl iirc.
