I'm editing a post for my airline (viewtopic.php?f=6&t=517966) where I added some text. However, it says that my image doesn't work (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ ... es.svg.png), which I added before. I'm still not done editing the post.

Can this be resolved? I really appreciate it.

Error messages don't say "your image doesn't work". Tell us the actual error text and we can start there.

It says, "It was not possible to determine the dimensions of the image. Please verify that the URL you entered is correct."

This often happens when the link you're using is wrong. What's the exact code you're trying to use to embed the image?

You cannot hotlink images from Wikimedia on the forums. See Wikipedia (or Wikimedia Commons) Images doesn't Work and its much more infamous sequel, Images require an "approved image host".

I put the link of the image provided in an [img] code.

Tin has the answer here. Your img code is fine, just upload your logo to a whitelisted image host and try again. Imgur has been great for me but there are more options in the links Tin provided
