It seems a lot of user on the forum use to post pictures using the upload system of the forum
And lot of other group of people use to say “we can’t see your picture”.
There are dozen of thread concerned where guys speaking about their games without preview and we are a few folks to remember them to add screens where they finally answer already committed screen on it and it does appear on their side.
It bugs me, because I am on both side and experiencing the same thing yesterday :
Same issue here man, I had a cool little profile pic, but now it rarely shows up plus, I had screenshots on project KH, I recommend you just use dropbox and just make it a link.
Even when I link to Imgur, Dropbox, or Puush, the image still rarely shows up unless I click “Retrieve remote file and reference locally,” but then there are two copies of the image in my post.
That may very well be. I know macs take screenshots as PNGs, not jpegs, and screenshots are what I usually link to. I do recall this happening with a jpeg I exported from photoshop, though. Even if this is the problem, it needs to be sorted out. PNG is a very common format.
It’s not PNG, since I almost always link to images on my site (which are usually in PNG format) rather than using attachments, which don’t seem to be consistent about working, and linking to external images always works, at least when they’re on my site.
Yes when I direct link jpg or png files from my domain.com it always work.
But well, sometime I would like to direct upload from the tablet it saves a bunch of time =_=
I also noticed that sometimes threads fail to display their newest posts. I could be the only one experiencing this and I’m not sure if it’s related to the image problem.
The problem here is the script that serve the image. Because vBulettin (at least this implementation) serve the images uploaded in post, via a php script and not from a location on disk. This might be because the images are stored in another machine and they want to cache the images.
My guess is that the script doesn’t really understand the headers sent by client, or the cache system gets screwed from time to time and instead of attached image outputs an 1x1 transparent gif.
Any way, bear with them (developers) because fine tuning a website with 90k unique visitors is no easy task.
