What is wrong with the images? Many are no longer showing, many can't be posted. Ofter the code is changed to img::

hi RF, were there any particular posts you had in mind? I had a quick check on the which album are you listening to? thread and it looks ok. Happy to investigate if there is a problem...

All day yesterday I was unable to post images, tried gif, jpg, pgn but after a delay the code came back changed to img::

Check out the images in the Obama thread. All the old images were missing and the code had been changed. Went back to edit them and some repaired and posted others just wouldn't stay edited.

Also checkout the attempted image posts on the 5/18 and 19 by other members in the thread you mentioned.

This behavior is not exclusively with my images. BTW I checked the images first with an HTML editor and they worked there.

Looks like posting imgages has returned since I just successfully posted a troll picture in a response to GARY that I wasn't able to post yesterday. I don't think the prior recoded images fixed themselves and may need to be manually edited.

I could only find two posts in the Obama thread with a missing photo and both those photos are missing because the URL is hot-linked to a file that no longer exists (both photos from same domain):

http://www.besteveralbums.com/phpBB2/vi...0330#10330
http://www.besteveralbums.com/phpBB2/vi...1801#11801

(checked up to page 13 out of 52)

EDIT: Now up to page 20 and found two more missing images and both from the same domain as above (iowntheworld.com). It looks like the site has restructured and URLs from that site are no longer valid (one of the perils of hot-linking).

I also checked 18th May in that other thread and seems ok to me, I'm sure there must be a problem somewhere as Mr.Shankly was alluding to something along these lines as well, but I haven't found an example yet that I can investigate as a glitch.

Try this and subsequent:

http://www.besteveralbums.com/phpBB2/vi...7266#37266

Maybe it has something to do with the amount of time to download. All the images with edited 1 time posted by me to Obama were edited by removing the computer generated img:: code and replacing it with img

Is it telling itself never to attempt to load that image again, even when it may have been a temporary problem?

everything on that page is displaying for me (e.g. I can see the Peter Gabriel sleeve on Applerill's post).

btw, that img:: code is generated by the forum thumbnailer so that a preview can be displayed in your post instead of a full-size image (if the image is bigger than the width of this forum).

Looks like we have an intermittent problem with the img:: code in IE 9.0.8112.16421IC because the images do show in Firefox 4.0.1

thanks, a good spot - a problem in IE9 and I only use Firefox or Chrome. So, it looks like a rendering issue now, so I'll look into and fix.

Good old Microsoft, they will create web developer jobs for life. The darned thing was fine with IE8!

EDIT: Fixed - images now display correctly in IE9.

Where is this image:

http://www.besteveralbums.com/phpBB2/vi...7709#37709

Posted it last night, saw it. Today it is listed as the last post to that topic but it doesn't display in either IE or Firefox.
