I can't figure out why I can't see images on the site. I can't think of anything I've changed to make it that way... it has been like this for a little while now. What could be causing it?
It just says something like "[Image: image278.png]"
Browser?
Happen for sigs too (eg your sig image)?
Disabled image loading for certain sites?
Adblock?
this happens to me too
but not for all images
and usually only happens over at that other douche bag site i troll
Try copying the image location and pasting into your browser's address bar to see if it's actually a valid image. If it's not a valid image, it will bring up that text.
I see them once or twice but they are almost always 404s...
I see the text in lieu of images from time to time, but far & between when I do...

I think this is the issue for me, the images that show as text for me have been removed from selected server, so yeah....
Dunno if this is relevant but I had a problem like this long ago, like about 2 years back.
I'd fiddled with Firefox's about:config page to allow more connections to whatever website you were visiting on order to get the page to load faster. Except I overdid it and pages would stop loading properly. What was happening was Firefox would try to establish all these connections with the server. One connection for each element (such as an image) because I had it set so high (something like 1024 connections maximum.) Of course the server wouldn;t allow som many connections so the page would never load completely.
Maybe it's relevent. Maybe not. Just so you should know I am rather drunk at the moment...
