_NOTE: I reported this bug on a different forum at first, but somebody told me it should probably go on here. This post is directly copied from that forum._
This is a rather obscure issue, but if you try and do something like this in HTML
```html
Solved by Pixlz in post #1

Just for the funny in a PM to trick some friends, it should work like this. (taken from a discourse test site)
It works for 5 minutes, but @system auto edits it and it breaks, turning into markdown.
Note that Discourse also does this, but it weirdly doesn’t break like it does here.
Trying to put the upload:// as the image doesn’t work, it only works on a real website, which is why it isn’t working.
It ends up doing this for some reason, it changes after about 5 minutes
What I posted is just an example of this, it does it to any image embedded within HTML.
[original thread on that forum](https://devforum.roblox.com/t/system-auto-converts-html-images-into-markdown-breaking-it/1834641), as I said I was told that this should probably go here instead, because it’s a default behavior of system.

This is fixed in 2.9 beta, but it looks like the roblox forum you linked is on an older version. More details over in this topic:
