Hi!

I strugged to understand why the remote images weren’t downloaded anymore on my forum.

I finally saw this in the logs:

| User | Action | Subject | When | Details |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| system | change site setting | download\_remote\_images\_to\_local | Jul 22 | **New** : false  
**Previous** : true  
Remote images download was disabled because there wasn’t enough disk space available. |

However, I don’t recall having any notification about this.

If no notification is sent, in my opinion, it should be the case (and maybe it should be the case whenever a setting changes without any admin action). If I just missed it… You can just close this topic and do a Nelson-like laugh at me. 😅
