    In other words, imgur has somehow included an image size of 0 x 0  and of course our software only resizes images if they are over the 125x150 limit. Consequently the image is displaying exactly as imgur specifiy it: 0px by 0px.

    The reason this is not happening on IE is most likely because, as usual, IE is to stupid to adhere to web standards.

    I don't understand what you're talking about. The forum software just writes an img tag with: width="125" height="150". It doesn't resize external images.

    Bottom line: use a different image host.

    Okay, I looked at this in Firefox, and I can see what you mean. But it doesn't make any sense.
    If you visit http://imgur.com/RQPLL.png and look at the image info, it reports the correct dimensions. What the fuck gives?

    Oh and I see, that we are back to questionmarks instead of apostrophees.

    That is also someting that happened some 3 days ago.

    Yes it does if they are over 125x150. It doesn't force them to 125x150 if they have a different proportion (like 1:1 or 2:1 or whatever).

    ETA: Well obviously it doesn't actually resize the external image itself.

    Alright folks, I got it! (I fixed ateapotist's avatar already.)

    The issue was the following. If you use a link like this: http://imgur.com/RQPLL.png you will be redirected to http://i.imgur.com/RQPLL.png; notice the "i." prefix.
    Now some browsers apparently have a problem with that. They can't reload the image from the new (redirected) URL and therefore simply show nothing.

    If you want to embed images, use the "i." prefix. Afro

    @Aziz

    I am on IE8.

    The questionmark/apostrophe thing use to be a problem some time ago,but all of a sudden the problem disappeared. Now, however, for some 3 days it is back.

    It just redefines the forced width and height of all avatars with a javascript after the page is loaded:

    window.addEventListener("load", smf_avatarResize, false);

    function smf_avatarResize()
    {
    var possibleAvatars = document.getElementsByTagName ? document.getElementsByTagName("img") : document.all.tags("img");

    for (var i = 0; i < possibleAvatars.length; i++)
    {
    if (possibleAvatars[i].className != "avatar")
    continue;

    var tempAvatar = new Image();
    tempAvatar.src = possibleAvatars[i].src;

    if (smf_avatarMaxWidth != 0 && tempAvatar.width > smf_avatarMaxWidth)
    {
    possibleAvatars[i].height = (smf_avatarMaxWidth * tempAvatar.height) / tempAvatar.width;
    possibleAvatars[i].width = smf_avatarMaxWidth;
    }
    else if (smf_avatarMaxHeight != 0 && tempAvatar.height > smf_avatarMaxHeight)
    {
    possibleAvatars[i].width = (smf_avatarMaxHeight * tempAvatar.width) / tempAvatar.height;
    possibleAvatars[i].height = smf_avatarMaxHeight;
    }
    else
    {
    possibleAvatars[i].width = tempAvatar.width;
    possibleAvatars[i].height = tempAvatar.height;
    }
    }

    if (typeof(window_oldAvatarOnload) != "undefined" && window_oldAvatarOnload)
    {
    window_oldAvatarOnload();
    window_oldAvatarOnload = null;
    }
    }

    Cool shit! ;P

    Yeah I know. I think Aziz was thinking of the html resize option which is the one we don't use (coz it's crap).

    Minor problem now:
    Why is my avatar now showing black above and below the actual graphics part?  I made the actual image height to be 150pixels (so there would be no unsightly resizing as the page loads), and the area above and below to be transparent in colour (you can do that with png's), so that no matter what theme is used, the area above and below would use the theme colour.

    Edit:  It seems there are two completely different images:  http://i.imgur.com/RQPLL.png  and  http://i.imgur.com/RQPLLl.png

    It's probably inheriting a background colour from the css. Which theme are you using?

    ETA: Ok, no. It's your image host remaking the image with a black background. Told you to use another host.

    By adding the "l" suffix to the image name you get a lower resolution version of the image. It saves some kilobytes and makes loading faster.

    Compare: http://i.imgur.com/RQPLL.png vs. http://i.imgur.com/RQPLLl.png

    Problem is, that imgur apparently can't resize PNG's with alpha channels.

    OK. I fixed it, by simply using the correct image out of the two.  I'm sure that's what I set it to in the first place. wacko

    Never mind now.


    On a side note, Os:  I see you edited your post after I edited mine.  When you were submitting your post, it clearly did not warn you that I had -- in the meantime -- edited my post.  If you really wanna be an awsome dude, you could write some code to make it warn a responder that the last post was edited in the meantime. grin12  It would be useful in many debates here too.

    The software already includes that option but I prefer it switched off as I find it more annoying than useful on the whole. It's a profile setting not an admin one so suit yourself.
