Forum Image Displaying

[GarrisonChisholm]

Hey all, just a general question. Quite frequently I see posts on the forum with "caption" like comments, obviously referring to photos I can't see. Is this because I am on my work PC, or is there a browser setting that will allow these images to come through? I can see some photos, but obviously not all, and I am perplexed as to why. For the photos I can't see there isn't even a box, or any indication that there is *anything* where there seemingly must be an image. Any insights?

Can you provide an example post? It's probably a connection setting if you're on your work PC.

EDIT:

One that you may or may not have access to.

Alright, this is weird. I grabbed a post from the "Mk2 Fuel Trick" thread;

I've used something a bit like this to save some space...

This gives the same 180 LF+O as a short Mk2 fuselage but in this same space you can also cram in all your odds and sods.

- But on my screen there was Nothing where that hyper-link was, but once I hit "reply with quote" to 'grab' it, I saw there was hypertext. :?

- & I still cannot view the image. It has to be a fire-wall thing then, right?

Can you try another browser? You might have a setting or plugin that blocks BB code.

Also, moving to the Kerbal Network.

It might be blocked indeed, just like you said.

Such things happend at my work as well until our fire-wall got tweaked.

There are several ways around this that I know about but, ah, *cough* I don't know if they would be frowned upon by the moderators.

lol ! Well, I probably shouldn't monkey with things too much- down time between tasks is precious and hard-won, I don't want anyone asking why I have enough of it to be checking KSP forums.

I think we really need to know more about what browser GarrisonChisholm is using, what plugins if any, and what anti-virus software if any.

Somethings preventing the images from working, but without more information we're just guessing here.

I was able to check the page using Chrome (normal is Firefox), and I experience the same issue of images and hypertext that do not always appear. I think an office server firewall setting is likely in play. I will try from my home PC in a while and see if the result changes, and will advise.

This happens automatically when quoting a post, tags get replaced with tags (I think the idea is to prevent the same image appearing repeatedly if people quote the post).

The symptoms make it sound like a firewall setting, many employers have imgur on their block lists for productivity reasons.
