Recovering broken images sent by members

If a new member sends an image, and it breaks, it may be recoverable.
For example, a normal image should look like this:

![IMG_1997|690x479](upload://gMY86dY3FNIjF1k1dRPuAY6DrDq.jpeg)

A member may accidentally delete some characters, making it look weird and not show an image.
You may be able to recover images if this part is intact: upload://gMY86dY3FNIjF1k1dRPuAY6DrDq.jpeg
To recover an image, you can add characters around the image to make it look like this:
![](upload://gMY86dY3FNIjF1k1dRPuAY6DrDq.jpeg)
This is enough for the image to show.
For reference, the image being exampled was a completion of a geometry dash demon level.

Example image used

That’s a helpful tip. It could save posts where the image link is still intact but the formatting was accidentally broken. Thanks for sharing this workaround!
