    They are displaying for me, so this appears to be a forum software fault. Will post screenshots of what I'm seeing when I get on my laptop.

    Try right hand clicking on an image in other posts/threads, selecting open in new tab, then pasting between img tags then previewing and you should see what I mean.

    Oddly enough @Scrungee, if I take a look at your post in the Admin editor, I can see the images. @Webmaster - any ideas?

      P.S. @fat controller Now you have those images in cache, do you now see them when not in Admin mode?

      Yeah, I have just done that too @Scrungee - In other threads, I cannot get the open in new tab when I right-click:

      rightclick.png

      I can Copy file location, and then paste that into a new tab which opens the image.

      The above is the url pasted in between image tags, however can you see the image?

      No, I can only see them in the editor - once I leave the editor, and am viewing as a normal user, I can no longer see your images - can you see the one I posted?

      I can see the images @Scrungee posted (the second one - children kitten - I probably would expect to see as I posted it myself four years ago). I don't understand any of the tech talk but just do things and see if they work.

      Some images I take from the net will just copy and paste and others need to be downloaded to my computer first. I just try and see what happens :noidea:

      Very curious - unless it is my security software that is blocking it, but it never has blocked images before :scratch:

      Posting from Win10 laptop:

      Well, this is weird, so might actually be helpful, all the my images 're-posted' on my Android tablet aren't visible on my Win10 laptop!

      Even weirder, your images that I couldn't see on my Android tablet, I CAN see on my Win10 laptop.

      I think there may be a problem ......

      Can everyone post their OS, as I think there's a compatability problem.

      I am having similar variances - just tried Chrome, not logged in (Win 10 PC) and can see exactly the same as I am here when logged in (Firefox) - however, go to Android and I can see your original two images, the images I posted, but then not the ones you subsequently posted in image tags. I suspect that the variance here is different OS/browsers, but how the hell that can affect what is fairly simple BBCode, I have no idea.

      Definitely one for @Webmaster to investigate further.
