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 exception but this also did not work.
I understand the reasoning behind the feature but it seems that neither the global setting nor the exception work at the moment. Has anyone else had the same problem? Is there anything I may have misunderstood about how this works?
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 setting changes in your staff action logs?
Maybe it also helps to share how you configured the setting, though the download remote images to local checkbox is quite simple.
