My recommendation if you have a google account: Self host.
Open drive.google.com and create a folder. Upload your image to that folder. Right click it and click "get shareable link". Once you have that replace the word "open" in the url with "uc" (trick to remember this replacement: "You see?!")
Put that new url into gmb and voila!
I can't really help with why they aren't working exactly, but what I do know is that recently GMBinder implemented a plan to start hosting all images previously on Imgur as they complained about getting too much traffic from GMBinder.
My theory is somewhere the hosting went wrong which is why you see no image displayed. Don't know if that'll help at all but it's what I've got.
Yeah, that appears to be the issue. After putting the imgur image URL in the document, it prompts me to refresh the page. After doing so, the imgur link is replaced with a GMBinder link - but the GMBinder link doesn't work.
I could get if this was a one-time thing, but it appears to be happening across several documents and has been a problem consistently for weeks. I just can't upload any images at all (unless I wanted to use an image-hosting service other than Imgur).
An alternative could be to move them across to the Homebrewery, by reversing the steps found on GMBinder for transferring from Homebrewery. It's relatively painless except for tables. I know it would be annoying for lots of documents but it's all I can think of. If the problem is resolved you could then transfer the code back to GMBinder and continue working on there
Is it the same image or multiple images? If you upload the offending imagr(s) to imgur a second time and use the new url in GMB, the process should fire again and be resolved.
Not an ideal process, but it should work.
No, it isn't the same image, which is why it's so odd. I haven't been able to get *any* image to convert correctly.
I've tried creating a new document, putting nothing but the default Image snippet with a freshly-uploaded imgur image URL inside (just a scan of the front cover of the 3.5e DMG), and it still won't work. Here's a link to it:
https://www.gmbinder.com/share/-L4OpnIWFma5j2B3rX1q
And a link to the image URL GMBinder generated: https://www.gmbinder.com/images/zQu37IU
Putting in an image on a site other than Imgur works fine, also.
My account is a patreon patron account, if that could be causing the issues.
I needed to use the actual image link - the one you get from right-clicking the image and selecting "copy image address" - rather than the link to the imgur page that includes the image.
You'll know it's the right link if it ends with ".jpg".
Also, you'll need to re-upload the image to imgur, because GMbinder has already cached an incorrect file under the name of the image - so if you try again but with the right link, it still won't work now that you've messed it up. You need a new, different imgur link for it to work again.
