> `Topic.image_url` appears to be `nil`

I just tested v2.3.2 and it does not look like YouTube links set the `image_url` attribute of the topic. The reason is that the image is extracted from the `src` attribute of an `img`, but when a YouTube video is linked, there is a `<div>` with a `background-image` CSS attribute.

Are you sure `image_url` used to be set?
