In a couple of threads, images aren't showing up that are in the tags.

For example:

Are the servers where the images are being hosted blocked, per chance?

If they were blocked, it should be a (on my screen) blank image box.. instead it is the url. Before, on the below thread.. the image appeared correctly.. however now it does not. I dunno -.-

Improper use of tags, from what I can see.

The first one doesn't give a file extension, the second uses a BitMap.

Also, I'm pretty sure Angelfire and Tripod don't allow hotlinking, even when the tags are used properly.

The thing is, Hack, it worked for about 3-4 months.. and if you copy/paste the link to the address bar.. the image is still there. :-\

Well, sure it'll still work if you got there. The deal is getting it to work with phpBB code. The code puts certain limitations on what can and can't be done.

Hmmm, generally you'll get a default broken image icon if you type in the URL wrong...
Perhaps phpbb2 doesn't like bitmap images or something.
