I'm trying to use the image button in the Description field of a magic item. The Insert/Edit image dialog has a field called 'Source'. What goes in here? I tried pasting the URL of the image, and it converts it to a dndbeyond link. I'm assuming there's some way to upload an image here, but I've been unable to find it.
The issue seems to be that the site hosting the image is intentionally blocking the image from loading from another site - this is a relatively common practice.
Please upload any images you wish to use to an image hosting site.

It ended up not being hotlink protection. Dndbeyond doesn't accept self-signed SSL certificates as valid, so the CA verification was failing and it was blocked. I switched to a 'real' cert and it's all good now. Thanks again for the help.

Gives an image for a broken link.
Just tried it with a JPG, same issue.

Here's a screenshot of what I see in the item.

Hmmm. That's my site, so I guess I need to dive in to the hotlink settings. Thanks for the debug!
