Some users suddenly can't see linked images!

It started yesterday, a lot of users can't see images that are linked to other sites. I think it may be a Internet Explorer issue, but is there any reason this should suddenly happen?

Anyone got any thoughts?

Thanks,

James.

Link to your forum?

Here's a link to a thread I set up as a test:

http://surreynewmini.forumotion.com/test-area-f3/everyone-please-vote-can-you-see-this-image-not-the-one-in-my-sig-t136.htm?vote=viewresult

www.surreynewmini.co.uk is our url too.

There was a supposed server issue yesterday, where there were issues with forums. However, it was shortly fixed (somehow).

Is the issue still there, as I see no fault in images (and also reading the post, I see the sig)?

Should be a picture of my mini above the sig, a black and white photo?

Not sure if people are still having issues, only just logged in really.

Oh. I don't see anything in the body (using Opera and IE). Strange as if it was a typo, it would show , but it isn't. Could you try and post the image here?

Here you are.



Also, just noticed, where online users are listed it now has:

bots: google

What's this about??!!

Never mind about bots. They get your site onto major search engines for you to get more visitors, hence more members.

I can't see the image. Could you just post the link, ie. no [img] tags, please?

I see no image when I click the link.

Something I noticed, you are hotlinking, which is illegal. What you need to do is to save the image to your computer (right click >> Save image) and then use an image host (eg. http://tinypic.com) to get you your own link to use.

But that image is an image I've taken and got in a gallery on another mini forum. When the image uploads it gives me the link!

Oohh... now that's a different issue now.

However, I cannot get an image to load. It seems to be corrupt so I would just do what I said in my previous post.

But some people can see it. Could it be that the site it's linking too needs to be in their trusted zone?
