If I post a link to a gif from IMGUR, some time passes and it becomes a link to my own forum ( As if it was uploaded to my forum) how can I disable it?

Is this the same issue you are posting here? How to disable HTML on the forum? Search for “hotlink” in settings to configure this behaviour.

Hi koliwi, Can you please read my message here: [image] How to disable HTML on the forum? Support Hey koliwi, Do you mean that some users hide links inside pictures and that you want to prevent that behavior? And confirm that this is the issue you’re trying to solve? If it is, there is no need for two topics, and then I’ll delete this one :slight_smile:

If it is, there is no need for two topics, and then I’ll delete this one :slight_smile: This problem is about links from any site (IMGUR) becoming an internal link (FORUM), so if I post a link from an outside site, some time passes and that link starts to have its content uploaded to my forum, as if I took the link from my forum, since the other problem in the other topic would be about HTML, I wanted to disable the use of HTML in the posts

danielabc: This problem is about links from any site (IMGUR) becoming an internal link (FORUM), so if I post a link from an outside site, some time passes and that link starts to have its content uploaded to my forum If you don’t want external files being automatically uploaded to your forum, disable the download remote images to local in the admin settings. :slight_smile: Note that this setting only affects images, and Discourse never automatically downloads remote files other than images.

[image] Coin-coin le Canapin: onfiguração afeta apenas imagens e o Discourse nunca baixa automaticamente perfect, I just didn’t understand the ending (I don’t understand English, I use a translator that must be why) Did you say that this only applies to the image? Does that mean that if I post a link to a video it is uploaded to the forum?

I have another doubt too, when I’m going to use a link from my own forum, why isn’t it embed like the other links? Example, I use IMGUR link and it embed in the posts, but my forum image links as the avatar, it is not embed, example exemple https://d3bpeqsaub0i6y.cloudfront.net/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/canapin/90/119591_2.png [image] Here in your forum the image link is embedded but in my forum if i post the link of the avatar in the topic, it is not embedded, only the link of the image is, it only embeds if using a boring HTML code and difficult to type In my forum, if I post the link, it’s just the link https://d3bpeqsaub0i6y.cloudfront.net/user_avatar/meta.discourse.org/canapin/90/119591_2.png I have to use this code to show the embedding, something difficult [img]http://[/img]

danielabc: Did you say that this only applies to the image? Does that mean that if I post a link to a video it is uploaded to the forum? The download remote images to local setting only concerns images. Have you encountered issues with other file types from your users?

I’d be happy to help you, the best would be that you to send me a link to your forum, so I can register and see it by myself. But please take note it can take a while as it’s the weekend. I might take a look next week. :slight_smile:
