Can't post linked pictures with thumbnail preview

[Cannibal]

It seems that I can't post linked pictures with thumbnail preview via standard forum embed code?

Like this:

[url=https://www.japan-legend.com/uploads/profile/photo-thumb-363.png][img]https://www.japan-legend.com/uploads/profile/photo-thumb-363.png[/img][/url]

I paste the code into reply form and it posts like code and not what it's expected to be.

Is there other way around to post a huge number of linked thumbnails? Because I want to share a lot of photos.

 

EDIT: tried this in Firefox and Chrome.

I'm also having the same issue, but more on youtube videos.  I can't seem to see the embedded youtube links, and only shows up as a box with an icon of a cloud in the middle with three dots inside.  I'm using Microsoft Edge.

I think invision board has removed that ability... But they have given us another option.

Down at the bottom right of the text box you will see an "Other Media" clickable small menu where you can choose "Insert Image from URL".

It will pop up a small window with a spot to put in the URL.

This one has to be an issue with your setup... I just tried my Edge, which I never use, and all youtube videos on the forum show up properly.

That's sad😢I think that be be a little of time consuming and a huge traffic consuming option

Yeah, all of the old posts with embedded youtube links are still visible to me.  It's the newer posts that don't show up.  Could this be a plug-in thing as I've never used any?

When I hover the mouse over, It has this message saying "It looks like the webpage at https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/pLZ_za4a-88?feature=oembed might be having issues, or it may have moved permanently to a new web address."

Nope, nevermind.  It's a firewall thing.  Used an exit node and everything shows up.  thanks for looking into it.
