Avatars are not allowed to be linked remotely anymore
Hello,
we had some problems recently with remotly linked avatars. To ensure a reliable (and faster) forum, we enabled the upload of avatars. Your avatar may be max. 96x80 pixels and 60kb.
Sorry for the trouble this may cause.

Surely any sane browser would download each image seperately, and display a broken image link if it couldn't find it?AndySoft wrote:No, it was just the browser waiting on the server the <img> was on.
And yeah, now I have to actually read names again...
For example, won't stop the page loading, but it will not display a correct image.
Yes, I don't really get it either. But the broken link image gets shown as soon as your browser gets a 404 or something from the server that it's supposed to be on. Perhaps it wouldn't load if the server doesn't respond properly or not at all, even though it's connected and listening. But that seems highly unlikely.

That's just bad coding of the resize mod.kv83 wrote:Guys, it was the resize mod which caused trouble. It tried to resize a non-existing image... After removing that mod, there were avatar's which were so big that they fucked up the forum.
To end all troubles, I disabled remote linking... which shouldn't be a problem

Except then the image could be changed remotely without it knowing it.
I think a simple "hey does this file even exist" check in the resize mod should fix it... Of course, if the server is down when it does that check, it doesn't do much for you. Unless there's a way to specify the timeout for remote fopens....
