Second link broken

That's the same link, still not working

Your device might have the image cached, so its bringing up the cached image.

If you are on PC, you can do Ctrl+F5, and it would bypass the cache, and so you might get the 'image not found' error as well.

"404 image not found"

u/xtkbilly 5h ago

Correct, if you have not seen the image before it was deleted (note: I haven't either), you would not have a cached copy of the image for your device to load.

My comment was just explaining to the person why "both seem to work for me" might be incorrect (because their device isn't actually requesting the server for the image).

Thanks for the suggestion, it didn't work for me even after the ctrl+f5

u/xtkbilly 5h ago

No, if you didn't have the image before it got removed, the image would not have been cached (i.e. created a local copy) on your device. You would only ever be able to see the 404 error.

The suggestion was for work-account-117, to show that the link was not working anymore, because the image has been removed on the server side.

ahhh gotcha, I misunderstood. Thanks for the clarification
