Images and emotes broken in DMs (hexbear.net)

When looking at my inbox, images and emotes dont work when from a DM. If the image/emote is ![text]() (This isnt working. The markdown is getting sanitized weirdly and the inline code is purged of the link and text portion. Ill try spacing it out: ! [ text ] ( some - url . tld "othertext")

Then it only renders as !text, with text rendered as a link to the image file itself. If theres no text between the brackets then its rendered as just an exclamation mark. This doesnt occur when viewing comment replies in my inbox, there the desired behavior is present with images rendered fully with the blur and show image button, and emotes rendered as emotes.

This has been going on for a little while now, and its starting to be an annoyance. Other users ive talked to have expressed the same technical problem and frustration.

Any ideas whats doing this and why its not working? And any ideas how to fix it?
