One in the off topic joke thread by krissstopper ?It would be good if you linked to an example @the black fox
It could also involve the end user bandwidth, web browser, computer performance, etc.
Also you get what you pay for

That would be thesa e one that didn’t load for me I suspect, linked above. If correct that rather blows up the usual bandwidth reason!
But why would it only happen in TP but opens swiftly in Flickr and then back in TP?. Also reloading or waiting has no effect!
This did the same for me just now and have experienced it with other photos before onTP.

As you know, this has been raised before. For me it goes in ‘episodes”. The commonest, I think is when someone posts several Flickr linked images in a single post. It’s always the first one that partly loads then the rest are fine. That doesn’t seem to me like a bandwidth issue. Refreshing or going to another page or another app and back has no effect. It’s always cured by clicking on the image so it goes to Flickr (no problem loading in Flickr) and then returning to the original, when it will have loaded.
.
For reasons best known to the creators of the Xenforo software external images are "proxied" , so rather than your browser just getting the image from flickr or wherever the <img> tag is redirected to our server which then gets the image from flickr and sends it to your browser. Add to that flickr can be pretty flakey so all in all it is what it is, it's not a show stopper and it's not getting fixed anytime soon but you are welcome to moan about it periodically if it makes you feel better
.
And me.
From memory, I think it’s always the first that doesn’t load when there are several oin a post and the fact that loads immediately if you click through to Flickr and back surely disproves that?
What PROVE's it is the fact that when I've told people to reduce the size(s) it works 100% of the time.
But in most/all the examples you are not involved at all just TP software and Flickr software. It’s curious that you and I think no staff have seen it. Maybe you are always signed in as admin or whatever though it”s not that common but seems to go in ‘episodes’ as I said earlier.
Since retiring I can afford the time, yes I'm here several hours a day, and checking out as many forums as I can, in that time,
If ( as above) I see it, I report the issues myself,
! I expressed that badly. I didn’t mean you are always here but that when you are here you are signed as as staff and so may get a different view than we proles
I see things as you see things, but with extra's thrown in! I expressed that badly. I didn’t mean you are always here but that when you are here you are signed as as staff and so may get a different view than we proles
As I said, I’m not really bothered by it just offering my experiences and a bit interested in why it happens.
When posting images directly onto the server, there's a size check.
I’ve just been trying that with a ‘random’ image. if you choose the BBCode and pick larger than 1024 it’s X’d in preview & post. If you choose “share” a slightly smaller image than the 1024 pic is shown so it wouldn’t seem possible to achieve the unwanted result that way. There are other choices of course.
Thanks. One more off the list
No it goes back before that for me. I think there are other threads — maybe I started one though I think I didn’t bother until someone else reported it and I realised it wasn’t just a quirk of my system.
Sounds like a good enough reason for us to chuck it all in
Yes, it has happened way back, and via 3 servers IIRC.
Windows 7, FF Opera & Brave all showing the images clearly.

where do I collect my cards?
I’m on a Mac so it affects them to
