The image in the question is broken (3 comments)
The image in the question is broken
Lux‭ wrote over 1 year ago

I've noticed that the image in the question above is broken, and I'm wondering if Codidact changed the way it stores images. As I see, the image above was stored locally (same domain) but new images are deployed to Amazon Web Services. My only concern is if that will affect very old posts. Also, that's why writing descriptions for images matters :-)

There's also this, this and this. On a more specific note, how should the one deal with such cases? remove the image, comment to mention that the image is broken, or just keep it as is (even other communities not just Codidact Meta)? And would it be productive to make a whole suggested edit to remove a broken image or even a broken link?

Thanks for letting us know. We did a server migration a while back but we didn't expect any disruptions in old image links. I'm going to ask someone with the right back-end access to look into this.
