Come on people! Just because you're a member of some site and want to link or embed something here to share from there doesn't mean that we'll be able to see it if that site requires membership.

Don't know, bendable, but I can give you a couple of specific examples so you know what to look for:

1) If you (generic you, not bendable specifically) are on facebook, and post a link to a facebook resource, you will always see the information. I am not on facebook, so I may or may not see it, depending on if it's tagged as public or whatever.

2) If you have a subscription to a newspaper and post a link to an article in said paper, I probably won't see it as I don't have a subscription. Again, depends on how the article is tagged.




Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

Add one more:

If you have an image that has extra characters after the normal jpg, png, etc. extension, it will only show as this to everyone else.Frown


An example: "format=jpg&name=small"

This x 1000. If you're going to post in a thread specifically intended for pictures, memes, gifs, or similar, have the decency to do so with things we can all see without having to leave SigForum to do so. Thank you!

I've been really tempted to send e-mails to the offenders about this kind of thing but that would be being a DICK and I don't want to be that guy. Frown

Sorry gents, didn't have any way to know of the glitch. Since I'm not on FB have no idea what that source is about.

re: " really tempted to send e-mails to the offenders about this kind of thing but that would be being a DICK and I don't want to be that guy" I can appreciate someone not wanting to be a BALD dick, so I'll do what I can do to assist.

I can delete the frustration of the missing image, or maybe send it to someone who can do something to make it work.

What's the solution?

Well I tried. Frown



As said in my followup email to you signewt:
"There are easy ways to copy that image from your membership site and then post it to a Sigforum thread. Check out Greenshot as an example which uses imgur to handle images that can be posted and seen by all."
There are many other options as well.


ADDENDUM:
signewt opted to simply delete the post

Is that what's going on in THIS thread?

When I open it in Firefox it's fine.
When I open it in Safari I get this screen and it locks up the browser.



I think this happened the other day in another thread. Is someone trying to host their avatar off somewhere they shouldn't be?

Anyone able to analyze the page source information for that thread?

The page/thread opens in Safari just fine for me. colt_saa's avatar shows as a blue box is all (unable to display image). When I right-click on the blue box and choose "Open Image in a New Tab", I get that calzaretta login screen thing. It appears his avatar is hosted somewhere that requires a login to view.



When in doubt, mumble
