what does "You are using old-format image URLs... Please update these image references as these URLs will stop working" mean?

I got this message today at the top of the page, mentioning a bunch of my scripts.
I googled for [ "You are using old-format image URLs" greasyfork ] but got no results.
Seems there should be a page explaining this message.

It means you're using direct URLs to your screenshots in the description of those scripts e.g. ![image](https://greasyfork.org/system/screenshots/screenshots/000/005/436/original/list.png).

These URLs will stop working soon because the images are hosted externally.

So then the only images that are allowed are uploaded through the 'Choose Files' button?

Is there still a way to embed images uploaded to GreasyFork? Or we need to find a place to host the images ourselves?

Everyone must have thought it was the expected behavior. :-D

I also found that the images expire after a while (5 minutes?), that's why I asked if there is a way to embed the uploaded images.
