I just noticed something odd with the images that's directly linked on X (Twitter) lately.
URL ex: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HV1gRuqXQAEDSa1?format=jpg&name=large
- Using the embed option in the editor doesn't work and only ends up with an "image cannot be loaded" error.
- You now need to manually type in the code along with the URL for the whole thing to show up.
- Images directly linked from the site don't show up in the image editor. They still show up in preview.
I checked four other sites if the same problem also occurs.
On SB, linking via the embed option works but all images end up broken.
On Alt History, linking via the embed option doesn't work. Manually typing the code only shows broken images.
On SV, linking via the embed option doesn't work. Manually typing the code only shows broken images.
On AH, linking via the embed option doesn't work. Manually typing the code only cause this odd part of the image URL to show up instead.

I also found another forum site that's having the same issues over X (Twitter) images:
Something seems to have happened on X (Twitter) that causes a restriction of hotlinking on their CDN ( ://twimg.com). I don't know what QQ have that still enables X (Twitter) images to show up in it but the fact that the issue is found all over different forum sites is concerning.
Any mods or admins here can further shed the light on the issue?
