I checked the images and it display when directed shown. It looks like there's something wrong on your website server that prevents to show some of it images in bitcointalk, since some of them displays.

If it can't be fixed on your end, bettee to use talkimg.com as suggested above.

Thank you for the response.

The images have been loading fine since the start of this year, nothing has changed, and the historical images have now stopped loading.

In a recent post made today in the same thread, the images appear to be loading from the same server, see here:

You need to copy the URL after you upload to your website, as you can see you lack of "wp-content/uploads" which make your images error. Also make sure the size of your images didn't above than 2.5 MB.

No, those links will still not work as they will give that proxy error issue. A better solution to make those images work again on this forum is to upload those images on TalkImg.com, however most of the users who uploaded those images don't really care about updating the images in their posts that's why they're not uploading those on TalkImg.com.

In case of next time to avoid the occurrence of something related to this, just as SamReomo advised, make use of the right image hosting site, then use the correct format in addition to how you wanted your image to appear or be posted, some can be only image alone while some will allow to make it a clickable one to their website as other members have already given the solution to the error response received, learn more from posting images from here.

Yes, all links that are incorrect or incomplete (which was your case) must be corrected, so that the images can be viewed here on the forum.
