Default Facebook Image Issue

I have been hot linking Facebook images to the forum for many years via Firefox. As of last week I can no longer do this. Every time I try I get this message:



Not sure if on CF or FB end?

Do you mean you right-click on the image URL on Facebook and paste that into the Uploader of CorvetteForum?

If that's the case, I was able to do so without error in Firefox. You might make sure the content is not account restricted. In other words, some content on Facebook requires a login to view. CorvetteForum won't be able to pull that information if that's the case.

If this is not what you're referring to, please provide some further detail.



This image was taken from Facebook and saved on CF:

Correct. I do as I've always done - right click on photo, select "Copy Image Location", paste into Upload Pictures From URL.

I just tried again, to include photos I took and posted myself, and I still get same error.

My workaround, which takes longer, is to save pic to desktop then upload.

Disregard JT.

For some odd reason it's working again, same as it always has.
