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.

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      By sonicii · Posted

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
