Specifically within the Tournaments forum, we've recently turned off images in OPs that are not uploaded through the uploader. This means imgur links, ibb.co links, attachments, you name it. All of these will not work, you will be unable to post with those images in there. Use the uploader and image link that. Other forums are unaffected but you are strongly recommended to host tour images on the uploader regardless.

This is to ensure that everyone can see these images (attachments often break, external image hosting sites are blocked in places like the UK) and that all images are safe on site. Dunno how many of you remember the demise of stuff like Photobucket or Flickr as hosting sites, but perhaps the more recent Discord changes where they intentionally break images will be a better example.

If you do not have access to the uploader, ask the forum mod/CL/TD who approved the tournament/circuit, or your favorite badgeholder.
