I've noticed just recently, that pictures I'll have added to the Extended
description of the used sets I'm selling, are no longer shown in the Extended
description pop-up! Just a rectangle, with in the upper left corner a "picture-icon"
is shown.

The code I use, is as described in the "Basic Guide to HTML"in the Bricklink
Help Center Section (which I have been using since 2012).

The only difference is that I rather use JPEG than PNG (but like I wrote it worked
for the last 10 years, so this should not be an issue).

Right clicking the rectangle and selecting "open image in a new tab" shows the
picture in a new tab, so there is not a connection problem to/with the external
hosting website.

Thought it could be something to do with the "Wide" statement, because I use
standard 640 x 400 (where the image sizes changed over the years 640 - 800 -
1280). But I've tested this as well, no "Wide" statement, the "wrong" measurements
and the "right" measurements. The only thing changed as a result of this, was
the size of the rectangle!

I searched this forum, but could not find any clues on this issue, so if there's
someone who could let me know what happened... (or a solution)!

Thanks in advance,
Peter

I just checked an arbitrary item in your shop and the images do show properly
to me in Firefox Version 103.0.2 but not on Edge Version 104.0. So yours will
be a browser problem.

You used for instance [ http : // home.kpn.nl/ya1dh1/verkoop/5563-3.JPG ]
I indeed don't see anything wrong with that.
As long as your resource is still located there, it should work.

The html wraps this for both browsers as:
[ img src="http://home.kpn.nl/ya1dh1/verkoop/5563-1.JPG" width="800" height="533"
]
again nothing apparently wrong with that.

That's about where my expertise ends. Sorry I could not help more, but I
hope this helps anyway.

It's an https vs http issue, has to do with browser security settings. Generally
speaking you want to serve your images over https if they're going to appear
on a page served over https.

Many browsers are blocking images from external http sources. Move your images
to a https address and they will show up again.

You can also host the images directly in BrickLink:
