The Brave browser removes a necessary function that we use for our uploaded images. If you're using the Brave browser with "shields up", you'll see something like this in place of an uploaded image:
The uploaded image is unavailable


The easiest way to fix this is to turn off shields for TexAgs (see further down for a more advanced alternative):

SOLUTION 1: Shields off
1. Click the Brave icon in the upper right corner. (make sure you are on TexAgs.com while you do this).

2. Click the toggle to the "off" position.

3. You should see "Shields DOWN for this site."


The process is pretty much the same on mobile. You'll find the Brave icon in the upper right corner next to the address bar.

For users on desktop, if you don't want to turn off shields, there is another option.

SOLUTION 2: Referer control
1. Install the Referer Control extension.
2. Once installed, click the extension icon in the upper right corner.

3. On the page that opens up, for the "site filter", enter "https://f5s-img.s3.amazonaws.com/", and then for the "referer setting", click "custom", then enter "https://texags.com/" below.


Once you reload TexAgs, you should be able to see uploaded images again. If for some reason the advanced solution does not work, you may have to use the first solution.

NOTE: Even with all the right settings, there may be images that occasionally display as "unavailable." These images are actually not visible to anyone, either because they were removed by the original poster, or by the moderators.

Hope y'all find this helpful. Feel free to follow up with any questions.
