Linking avatar/pic from Randimg problem - Ayami - 04-22-2019
Apparently something changed in this site recently, because since I created my account I was using an avatar randomizer page host, known as Randimg (http://www.randimg.net/). But some days ago I noticed it doesn't work anymore in the site, not only for my avatar, also for normal embeding.

(You can try copying/pasting this link into your browser or embeding somewhere, it has 3 pics)Weirdly enough, the pics actually appears in the post preview, and they randomize normally (everytime I click Preview Post). This is the first time I have problems with it, and yes, this is the only site where it's failing.
Does anyone know the reason of why this happen?

The issue was that offsite images were being pulled in through a script and the redirect to your final image wasn't being followed. I just adjusted the script to follow redirects as well which seems to have fixed it.

Oh, nice, seems to be fixed now. Thanks a lot!

No problem! For reference though, that service seems incredibly slow. It's taking a very long time for your avatar to load, at least on my end.
Edit: In hindsight, it might be slow because of how it's being processed here. Regardless though, it works.

Yeah it's kinda slow now that I notice... weird. But at least it works now.
Maybe I'll change to a normal avatar soon.
