Original working one 'fixed' with a rebake - it no longer oneboxes.

I suspect something in yesterday's update.

So the link-gobbling regex matches the http/https before the link.

I expected to be amused more.

In that post I get a blank image box that disappears almost immediately, as well as the url-that-eats-characters bug from this thread.

hungrier

is right. Chrome dev tools tell me that the img element has a style="display: none !important;" on it.

Actually it looks like it's getting zapped by adblock. Of course, if you want to believe that depends on whether you think it's plausible that something sensible was happening on Discourse.
