Forum Issue: Strange Behaviour of Older Pictures

I noticed when I click on a photo in an old forum post, I get a bunch of strange characters.

Here's what the picture looks like from this post.

I'm going to paste the same photo here to compare how it behaves.

Apparently we can't just paste images into a post anymore. I'll try again.

attachment.php?attachmentid=88515&d=1326377858

When I used the "Image" tool, the following was inserted into the post:

{img}http://forums.parallax.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=88515&d=1326377858{/img}

When I select "edit" from the old post I can see the image inserted as:

{IMG}http://forums.parallax.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=88515&d=1326377858{/IMG}

The only difference I can see is the case of the "img" tags.

Edit: Apparently "noparse" isn't one of the BBCodes approved for use. I changed the square brackets to s-brackets.

    Duane,

    I don't see the same results on WIN7 Chrome. I wish we had post numbers, but I think this is the same post you provide the offending picture from

    Same problem here. In this post and the original you linked to. Chrome on Debian. Seems to be a mime-type issue.

    Same problem with image shown as text in FireFox on Debian.

    With the added twist that the script on the page times out !

    I don't see the problem with Safari on OS/X.

    Just checked with WIN XP Pro Chrome. Not seeing any problems.

    Duane, did you say you only saw this when trying to edit the post?

  • PublisonPublison Posts: 12,366
    Nevermind, your not going crazy. :)

    I see it when you I click on the image file. Both WIN7 and WIN XP PRO and Chrome.

    The problem only occurs when I click on the image.

    I get the same behaviour if I'm not logged in.

    I tried clicking on the image with IE8 on my Windows 7 machine and the image opened properly but as the only item in the window. It didn't open in the little picture viewer window.

    Same behavior with WIN XP EI8.

    Aha, yes, problems occur on Android if I click on the picture in the thread linked to (if I don't, everything looks normal).
    The Android browser hangs. Must wait until the OS asks me if I want to kill the browser, and answer yes. That's very rare (that it doesn't ever return to the living).

    I linked this thread to Bump for his input and he has stated he will look into it.

    Adding to the issues list and then sinking.
