Problems viewing some embedded images

[kaosmark2]

Hey Neil

I'm having problems with viewing some embedded images on the forums. It doesn't apply to every image (I can see a lot of the fake posters in lineup threads etc.), but it does to some, eg. /topic/170228-football-2012-2013/page__st__2200#entry3835946">http://www.efestivals.co.uk/forums/topic/170228-football-2012-2013/page__st__2200#entry3835946 just shows up as the broken image icon.

I primarily use Chrome with adblock installed for flash ads only, but I've tried it in firefox and IE and the same images get blocked, yet from reading replies other people seem able to view these images. I've had this problem on 3 different computers (not necessarily for the same images), with 2 of them tried in different browsers.

It's only a very minor issue, but I was wondering if you had any insight as to what might be causing this

Cheers

I'm not seeing a broken image icon with that post, but I am seeing the words 'Posted Image' instead of the image (when using Firefox). I see that quite a lot.

I'm not entirely sure why it happens, but I always put it down to either the image not existing, or being blocked to display on websites other than the one it's hosted on, or that my computer can't access the image for some reason.

What I don't think it is is a problem directly within these forums.

Fair enough. Depending which browser I use depends on whether I see a broken image icon or the words "posted image". It just seemed strange as other people's replies suggest they can see it.

No worries though, thanks for getting back to me

yup, I've noticed that too - and I guess they can.

Whether or not someone sees it depends on whether or not their computer is able to look-up and access the website that image is hosted on - which ultimately comes down to how good your ISP's DNS server is (or your computer's interaction with it).
