Here’s an example. I’ll escape the markdown so you see the raw text:

![](https://rimh2.domainstatic.com.au/M3S7ooR3ugIz1AMW8WhMJ1JBivc=/fit-in/1920x1080/filters:format(jpeg):quality(80):no_upscale()/2018585659_8_1_230614_022120-w1920-h1280)

The URL contains unescaped parentheses which are illegal in a markdown link because the link itself must be wrapped in parentheses.

This results in my comments showing no pictures and users only seeing this nonsensical text:

:quality(80):no_upscale()/2018585659_8_1_230614_022120-w1920-h1280

If I try to escape the parentheses, I get this:

Oh, hey, it’s the picture!

Whatever admin or bot is editing people’s comments when moving pictures to some other host needs to escape special characters in the URLs.
