Hey I was wondering if to post reviews on sets you are required to go through the Eurobricks Reviewers Academy. I read the post on FAQ and it was kinda confusing to figure out if it is required or more of a good thing to have?

The Reviewer's Academy is a project on EB to help people learn to create a certain standard of review. However anyone can post a review of a set if they wish, membership of the academy is not compulsory or a barrier to posting reviews.

It may be because of your links are just offering plain unencrypted HTTP:// - modern browsers are cautios about such uncreypted sources to be loaded. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-origin_resource_sharing)

I tested your links with HTTPS:// but sems you picture hoster doesn't support encrypted connections - so I would also recommend to just create yourself a 100% free account on www.bricksafe.com - as you get 10 GB of free space + they offer https:// links to be used. So using bricksafe will lead to your pictures getting visible in the postings.

Here is the exact warning in my browsers DeveloperConsole for the test picture not shown by @Jims test:

 

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/149997-help/&page=55&tab=comments#comment-3734681' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure element 'http://www.mgtx.fr/LEGO/Divers/69762_45deg.jpg'. This request was automatically upgraded to HTTPS, For more information see https://blog.chromium.org/2019/10/no-more-mixed-messages-about-https.html

As the hoster doesn't allow https to be used, the picture cant be loaded.

From the page of chromium (source of all modern browsers nowadays):

@aFrInaTi0n Thanks for chiming in! We do indeed need https. I missed that one, thanks.

Thanks for the diagnostic.

Meanwhile, when looking for information at my local hackerspace (where there are many computer & network security experts), I got the same explanations.

I'll try to fix it later...

... Fixed 20241114 : all my HTTP image links work again on the whole website, thanks to enabled HTTPS + redirection from HTTP.
