Am I the only person who has these problems? When I go to threads like this one I do not see the images. The thread looks like this. If I go to the page source I can see that one of the images came from here and I’m able to view that image.
Does facebook block image hotlinking or something? Am I the only person who has this problem?
This does not happen on all threads. I think it’s mostly ones with images embedded from facebook.
It has images when I view it.
Yeah, those are from a Facebook chat I was having with a teammate. Sorry, I didn’t realize that was a problem for some people. In the future, I’ll try to host anything I’m posting on imgur/our website.
Uh, does wherever you’re connecting from have access to Facebook? That’s the most obvious reason that the image wouldn’t load. Except you said you can see them through page source. Hm.
Shift+Reload the page?
No not your fault at all. I’m just very confused as to why it’s not working for me.
Even weirder is that I can see the image if I make a new html file with just the following in it:
<img src="https://scontent-b-sjc.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-prn2/v/1278395_513844895373431_838080337_n.jpg?oh=2afe070b40e91124f383d2ef59b554db&oe=5241FCB5" border="0" alt="" />
**Edit: ** Looks like the problem is only in Chrome. I think it has something to do with the way it’s interpreting the css because it’s detecting the image to be of height and width 0
Weird. I’ve never had a problem viewing images from any source on the VEX forums.
Is it maybe an issue with a certain browser/OS? I really only use the native Safari on my iPhone or Firefox on my laptop. They both seem to work well, but maybe something else doesn’t?
EDIT: Hey, I guessed correctly. Firefox is great, if you wanted a different browser.
Haha sorry Chrome wins in too many other aspects for me :p. This is likely a problem with VEX’s CSS and just happens to work correctly in FF. I’ll investigate later when I have more time but I was just wondering if anyone else experienced the issue.
Does it work for you when you use chrome? I’m also using a fairly old build so perhaps that’s the issue.
Uh, I don’t even have Chrome. Give me a moment, I’ll install it and check.
EDIT: Update Chrome. It loaded fine. OS is Windows 8.
Alright so it’s just me :(.
I’ll fiddle with it later - thanks for the help haha!
I’m using Chrome on Windows 7, images load fine. The width and height css attributes are set to 960px for me.
Just thought I’d show you exactly what I’m seeing. As you can see, when I highlight the line with the image in the inspector, it says “img 0px x 0px” in the body of the page pointing where the image should be.
**Edit: **And I’m using Chromium Version 25.0.1364.160 Ubuntu 13.04 (25.0.1364.160-0ubuntu3), so I assume it has something to do with the build I’m on. I’ll try to grab the latest one when I have more time.
I switched over to my other hard drive running Ubuntu and the images still show up in Chrome. My chrome is 29.0.1547.57 and I’m running Ubuntu 12.04. It must just be some weird bug in that version 
Proxy servers used at schools or work can commonly block places you normally can’t surf to like facebook, dropbox, youtube, and similar sites causing broken image icons to show up.
