Almost daily now I get notified that I have broken links to Unsplash images - 17 of them a few days ago. When checked, the links aren't broken. Clearly a malevolent glitch is stalking the code. Can't it be fixed?
It happens and is part of being a writer for HP. I checked the bad links, and the notice disappeared; it was bogus.
I believe Unsplash modified its links on its end. In order to make the broken link messages stop, try copying over the links fresh and see if it has any influence. This might help… or don’t use Unsplash anymore and replace pictures from another site.
I believe this was complained about in the forums some months back. I think it's a problem at Unsplash's end. If so, whether it will be fixed, I don't know.
I've had the same issue. I don't tend to use Unsplash much here but the editors do.
I have one article that continuously says I have a broken link, but none of the links are broken. Frustrating.
I am having the same issues, and even worse, most of my broken links are pictures that the editors have substituted for ones that I picked.

Two of my articles on PetHelpful are showing as having broken links. In the first instance, when I look at the article, the link is a picture. This link http://www.sxc.hu/photo/679862 is showing as broken but is in fact clearly showing as a black cat drinking so I think this may be a 'glitch'? In...
