Hi, We have a hosted instance of Discourse and are including images from our own website. This worked fine until today, when the user “system” started to replace the URLs with links to downloaded versions. I tried turning this off globally but to no avail. Also tried to configure our domain as an e…

On my forum (also hosted by Discourse, updated about 2 hours ago) the disabled image download domains site setting still works as expected. Other images are downloaded, but those configured there are not. I wonder what changed on your forum that results in this process starting today. Are there set…
