Ok at the moment I am somewhat stumped.
Can you explain to me EXACTLY how you were entering this code into the editor - and which editor you were using? I have just spent the last hour using the previous SP version (5.3.4) and have not yet found any circumstances where this Amazon supplied code will work - not in preview, in the editor or in the published post.
I know WHY it wont work. I just need to understand how you were making it work to see of we can track down what might have changed.

Brandon - that's it exactly. Thank you. I've no idea how you got that to work.
I am using Firefox, but I recreated the error using Chrome.
I have noticed other weirdness as well.
Some of the buttons on the toolbar are greyed out. I don't recall it being this way before the update.
Also, this is not consistent, but when I upload a pic, about half the time it does not show in the preview window. This is what led me to upload the graphic twice on the first post in this thread. However, when I actually submit the post, the graphic is there.
Sometimes the graphics upload normally. The graphic in this post, I can see in the preview. I have not been able to isolate the situations where the graphics show or don't show.
Thanks.

You appear to have ignored my post above (#11)
Brandon didn't get it to work. He just pasted in the raw image url I think you will find.
I have not seen the issue with preview but will certainly run some tests to see if I can replicate at all. thanks.
The buttons that are greyed out are because they only operate when text is highlighted or when necessary. This has always been the case. The exception here seems to be the spellchecker button (AND the spell function) which I note has gone AWOL. Something esle to investigate as maybe WordPress team have removed it...

I am sorry. I thought you were addressing Brandon. I also thought he did get it to work, because if you clink the pic, I see the Amazon code is embedded in the url.
I am using SP 5.4 and and WP 3.8. Everything is up to date.
To enter the Amazon code, I click the html button and then paste it into the pop up window.
I click update, and the picture shows, normally.
When I "submit reply", it posts with the error.
Thanks.

What version of SP were you using previously? As I said - I tried this every way I could think of using 5.3.4 without any success whatsoever. It failed every time for me in those tests. It is not really an error either. What it is actually saying is that it has a link to an image but it can not find an image of that name at that location. It is actually - or probably - checking for the image width at that point.
So do I need to go further back than 5.3.4 for testing?

I don't think you have to go back further. I have kept SP current since switching to it about 6 months ago. Most definitely, the images used to post. You can read on the thread - users are saying, "I can't see the images."
So I can't recall what version I was using, but I do recall that this is my second update and the images have always posted until now.
I switched to SP right before you released the unified theme if that helps.

Going to need some help with this - Steve? Brandon? Anyone!
There is absolutely no way I can get this to work and it never should have worked - and doesn't for me. This is NOT a genuine image tag plus it has no dimensional information with it. When the server tries to interrogate the 'image' to get the sizes etc., it fails exactly as it should.
The puzzle is why did it work before. If we knew that we might be able to work some workaround. So - need some help guys.

I have never tried it personally so don't know what it did before WP 3.8 but I will take a look. Both in WP and how Amazon creates that code. For all we know Amazon changed.

Here is the quick fix for you Elsa.
I turned off "Use popup image enlargement" in your SP admin. Now all your Amazon images are back. I don't know if it was turned on before or what changed but turning it off brought them back.
@Andy.. To make it work on my dev site I have to turn off both "Use popup image enlargement" and "Always use image thumbnails"
Also, if you post the code into WP post editor it does work there too.
I have not looked at any of the SP coding on this.
