Photo references broken

Please fill out the following sections to the best of your ability, it will help us investigate bugs if we have this information at the outset. Screenshots are especially helpful, so please provide those if you can.

Description of problem (please provide a set of steps we can use to replicate the issue, and make as many as you need.):

Step 1: Go to this URL: https://www.inaturalist.org/journal/dan_johnson/16497-how-to-photograph-crayfish-for-inaturalist. This is a how-to guide suggesting best ways to photograph crayfish for identification purposes. It references numerous photos throughout iNaturalist. The photo URLs, however, no longer work.


It seems the format of the URLs has changed. I suggest that such changes are very dangerous and will break a lot of stuff. Is there any reason why the old URLs cannot be made functional again? Thanks.

Same issue as https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/photo-links-changed/25705 so I’m going to close this one.
