Hello! I’m having some issues on my forum.

here is an example:

[http://www.thestratagemmc.com/t/archers-arena-pvp-tournament/261](http://www.thestratagemmc.com/t/archers-arena-pvp-tournament/261)

if I go into chrome dev tools, the src attribute of the image at the top of the thread is:

`//thestratagemmc.com/uploads/default/original/1X/e2dcc4788b0b1472e5d3d46427d0cd6498de60c8.png`

however, [thestratagemmc.com](http://thestratagemmc.com) is a redirect to [www.thestratagemmc.com](http://www.thestratagemmc.com). If i change the src attribute to be  
`/uploads/default/original/1X/e2dcc4788b0b1472e5d3d46427d0cd6498de60c8.png` or `//www.thestratagemmc.com/uploads/default/original/1X/e2dcc4788b0b1472e5d3d46427d0cd6498de60c8.png`, the image displays.

Any idea how to fix this? I have no idea why `thestratagemmc.com` is redirecting to `www.thestratagemmc.com`, I’ve checked my apache virtual hosts, haproxy config, and my domain records–nothing indicates a redirect. If I change my haproxy config to redirect `www.thestratagemmc.com` to `thestratagemmc.com`, i get a redirect loop.

I thought it might be easier to just change where the image loads from rather than solve the domain issue, but I have no idea how.

Sounds like you have the wrong URL specified for your site in app.yml?

Ok cool, is that the fix? I was just looking at the simplest explanation for the behavior you described.

Yep, it works. I had to edit existing pages with images to change the url they pointed to, but new uploads are working just fine. Thanks again.
