It's frustrating because I make custom portraits for most of my characters (screenshots of HeroForge models), and I can still see the portrait in the "My Characters" view... but the moment I click to view, the portrait becomes a solid black square. I can't figure out why. It happened once with a character I use weekly, and once with a character I haven't used in months, so it's nothing to do with frequency/recency of use or anything like that.
I know the portrait isn't just getting deleted because I can just... re-download the portrait using my browser's element inspector. But it takes a few minutes of digging to reset it, and it's happened twice now for no discernable reason.
I also been having this problem recently, but clearing my browser cache fixed it.
Till you have to clear your browser cache EVERY. SINGLE. DAY...
See, I only have to do it once every 3-4 months. What browser do you use?!?
Chrome. This workaround serves me well to eliminate the problem on my desktops. No dndbeyond images load on my phone. I don't use my phone to do much on dndbeyond so it's just mildly infuriating instead of making the site absolutely suck on my desktop when I wanted to use it. When the RTF editor wouldn't even load to complain on the forums about images and things not loading, there's an issue that I'm guessing still has not been resolved.

I do everything on DDB on my phone and it only gives me a problem a few times a year. But I use Safari on iPhone, so that might be why.

Try clearing your browser cache.

I have been using Opera GX. You are rite my pics only show up now if I clear the cache. Why is it doing this in the first place.
