External Images not showing - On Character sheet and elsewhere - Broken

My game calls and references a lot of images on Imgur. I use them in handouts, maps, tokens, character sheets etc.  I am a pro subscriber.

The Problem. Since 26 08 24 none of them are showing any more. This is a major impact on the game.

Here is an example of a piece of code from a character sheet.

<img src="https://i.imgur.com/daRr1iJ.jpg" alt="Max Health" width="141" height="32" longdesc="https://i.imgur.com/daRr1iJ.jpg"></strong>

This would display an image for the Max Health on the player character sheet 

  <--- This is an example

Additionally I would use the same sort of thing on character sheets as tokens with an bit of API which would allow players to view additional pictures of items etc in the chat box so  they could display things to other players eg. the player finds a box and opens it and can show the others what he has found in chat without disturbing the main display or needing the GM to Show to Players etc.

So my game is seriously broken as I use this a lot eg a city maps where players can view all the buildings individually on their own with GM intervention.

Please help

This is similar to a bug that was reported 3 years ago. It appears to have returned after being fixed. Please fix it again. Thanks

Same issue as described in the Sheet forum. I did a quick patch by migrating everything over to Shutterstock and editing the background url links accordingly. It took some work, over an hour of copy pasta, but I was at least able to run yesterday.

These issues do pop up from time to time, which can certainly be a pain. Just wanted to let you know that the above solution worked for me in a pinch.

Hope you get it worked out.

Thanks. Any chacne you can post a link to the Sheet forum thread and a bit more detail on how to do the migration etc?  I have hundreds! Over several years. My game has been bust by this. It looks like there are some random characters being inserted by Roll20 in to the image URL 

Its should be HTTPS://

but Roll20 is placing something like

HTTPS_A3%:// in the link to the image.

If they remove the  _A3% from there image link then it should all work fine again.

A very simple fix but one that needs to be done by Roll20 devs.

I think that would do the job and fix this issues for lots of users broken games

Here's the aforementioned thread. https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/12021465/custom-character-sheet-background-not-showing-up#post-12022663

Looks like it's being worked on, so I would honestly just sit tight and wait for them to patch it.

I don't recommend migrating hundreds of images over to shutterstock and manually patching each line in the CSS, as it was a major pain for the 60+ I did on Saturday. Once this is fixed, I will just revert it back.

Fingers crossed that the patch faerie pays us all a visit today :)

Hi Jonnie SoHCaHToA, 

There is a problem with some images right now in Roll20. The Devs are working on the issue. 

The Devs report the problem should be fixed. Please check to see if the images are still affected.
