github markdown no longer displays images

Question

A month or 2 ago I wrote a markdown file for my github page and it contained png files. Today I was looking ad the markdown file on github and all images were removed. If I click on one I get the message: The image "link to image" cannot be displayed because it contains errors.

This is the link as the git hub page gives me https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bask185/State-Machine-Scripts/master/images/handleWheel.png

And this is how I try to display the file in the markdown file. exclamation mark [handleWheel ] ( https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bask185/State-Machine-Scripts/master/images/handleWheel.png )

It worked once so I did something right once. Did github changed or did I do something wrong? Can I salvage my images?

Answer 1

It looks like the images were linked to a relative path in your repository. You earlier had an images/ directory with the images that were shown in the markdown file, but this was removed in this commit .

If you browse the repository at the previous commit, you can see the images . The image corresponding to the link in your question, for example, is here .
