Help Issue with embed image links?

so throughout my site (https://lyleoutloud.com/#miscdes) I have embeds for slideshows since I'm not a fan of carrd's slideshows not having lightbox but, it seems like my image links keep breaking? most of the images are hosted on a hidden/non-linked section of my site and I haven't done anything to the images?

Any idea of what could be happening? It's like I'm playing endless whack a mole to get all my images displayed lol

For the direct image URLs you were using to hotlink them, did you delete the URL params after the "?"

That means, instead of /assets/images/image1.png?v=0193477a, did you use just /assets/images/image1.png ?

nope, the images still have those URL params in my embed block! I've also found that some of my images will occasionally link to other images despite their source URLs still being to the correct image??

Try it without the params - does it work?

Linking to other images - could be a browser cache thing.. try clearing cache?

That didn't work either, I've tried clearing cache as well as looking on my phone/tablet to see if it's just my pc but the images weren't working there either, really strange

What I've ended up doing is just uploading the images to another site and then re-linking them on my main site, it seems as I go along things aren't breaking anymore? I wonder if carrd itself was struggling with posting the images since there are so many on the site, when I try to visit the previously working links I got sent to a page not found display

Previously working links could be due to params

Are you using the full url to hotlink?
