I don't use catbox but if it's anything like imgur...
The end of your image link has no extension, so this is not a direct link to the image. Clicking it downloads it for me, so it's a link to something, just not the an embeddable link. I tried adding extensions to the end of the link and that didn't work, I get back 404.
Idk why that happened, anyways...
It's working now!
Yeah, I switched to imgbb, still not sure why catbox wasn't giving the file extension. Even with imgbb I had to copy the link from the embedded code link it gave me. Oh well, it works and that's what's important.
I use imgflip and have to open the image in a new tab and copy the link that way, I would self-host something simple for image sharing but haven't found anything yet that's not overcomplicated
Same, plus my only computer is a 2009 MacBook running Debian, so I don't think I could leave it on all the time.
Before, it was hosted on catbox.moe and the link went to the download link, but now your link goes directly to the .jpeg itself so it can be viewed without downloading it (I think)
Yeah, I had to switch hosting sites and copy the link from the embedded code, I'll try to figure out why this happened after work.
Maybe it was something with the file you had or just a bug, since I just tried it and it worked fine
