It's weird. I use Firefox.

Instead of the image I get "IPB Image" written there.

The other weird thing is that sometimes I might post in the thread that this happens in and then the images appear.

Other times they never appear.

I've even seen 1 image and several "IPB Image" in the same post, in other words, they are posted in the same way and I can see some but not others.

Also I know it's not just me. People will post 'hey look at these pics' and about 5 people go 'oh cool nice pics' and another couple of people go 'I can't see them'.

It's not a problem with his internet.

It's a problem with the thumbnailing software for the server. If you click on the link it sometimes comes up with the full sized image.

That depends if he's talking about SAU Attachments, or just hotlinked images

He's just referring to this forum, as his title states. I've seen this too, but it's been more stable the last week or so.

You missed my point completely

I could attach an image using SAU

OR, I could host it on my site, and put it here with tags

I see what you mean. Let me clarify then.

If you hot link it with img tags it'll display as per normal. However if you use the attachment feature on the forum the thumbnail will appear as [iPB Image].

That is a classic symptom of image rendering software (such as gkimage) on the server losing it's association with the forum or going down.

Actually it has happened in both ways but more generally stuff that is linked to.

That's a problem with your internet, the host of the image, OR they have hotlink protection on the image host

i go with anti-leech hotlink protection.

here's a fake hotlink where nothing exists:

http://www.theresnolinkhere.com/nolink.jpg

and when placed in IMG tags, you get:

nolink.jpg

same thing would happen if the image was made unavailable by the host.

Also, to make things even trickier, our images are hosted in the US (while other files are in Australia) so if there is a slight delay getting the images when the page is loaded, then you'll get that text. Usually an F5 will fix it.

Ahh so maybe that's it, a delay in the image being available so the browser assumes it's not coming and displays without the image. Is there a setting somewhere on SAU or our browsers where we can give it longer to download?

I just started a thread with I think 5 pics all hosted in the same place (not here) and when I went beack to the thread to check for replies one of the pics was missing.

And then I went back there in the middle of typing this and everything is displaying correctly.

      R32 GTR - Where to begin

      I think you're missing the point here Duncan, I was trying to say that if you want to go fast around and have a spare $80K to $100K, easiest option is to just buy another car instead of modding your Skyline. Sure blowing $80k to $100K would make it fast, but then you'll have a car that you can't drive on the street comfortably. But use that $80k, buy a fast factory car, spend like $7K on AliExpress pipes, email tune, tyres, pads and you can be fast, not to mention now you have two cars.

      At SMSP, I mainly see Hondas, M cars, A90 Supras and of course, plenty of Evos. Have not seen a single R32 ro R34 Skyline on the night sessions that I've been to. That's really saying something.

      Looking at getting a Tesla style Screen for my V37 Skyline.

      I like mine. Much better than stock. Like i said before the reverse/parking cameras look even worse than normal, still useable. When you buy one make sure it's the latest version. Heaps of cheap ones that run the old hardware and software. Got mine from AliExpress. Mine is quick no lag, boots up 1-2 sec. Menu is fast. Netflix is fine and so is YouTube. Android Auto is random taking 3sec to 15sec. Most of the time it's quick. Very rare it doesn't connect. But that could be a phone thing.   Now I think they use a Pixel 3XL to run this whole thing which i guess is fine, but the problem is that some apps will not work on old hardware like Disney Plus  Maybe Prime Video too 🤔. they will not update. Iv'e tried getting the APK Disney + but i still couldn't get it working. I have a Data sim installed so i have internet all the time. You can't Hotspot off your phone and connect Android Auto at the same time. Not that you need too, if you want you can hotspot off your phone and run any internet map app (google maps) and you can run the Spotify app on it's own (the app runs better than android auto) You can still access the INFINITI intouch system for all the o.g stuff    P.S i got new non Polarization Sunglasses too 😎
