Can't see images in some posts - check your DNS settings

Post by Francer » Sun Apr 17, 2016 10:37 pm

This might be useful if anyone else is experiencing this issue .....

I've been noticing lately lots of images missing from posts, mainly Photobucket linked ones.

I use the Norton Connectsafe DNS settings as it's pretty good for filtering out adult stuff when you share the internet with your kids, pron, gambling, booze sites etc. ie. All the fun stuff ;D but it's also blocking photobucket linked images and maybe others for some reason.

i reverted to the DNS settings of my internet provider and now it's working again.

Here's an example of a post where they were missing before

Are you on your home wifi or phone data?

I have an internet connection from my phone, I don't use wifi, I don't have it at home. But if I reload the page sometimes I can see them but not all. Should I try a faster concession?

Could also be Cloudflare. Some posters link to images on other forums (e.g. the Gear Page) which won't show before the Cloudflare verification process is done on that particular website on that particular instance.
Also: fuck Cloudflare.
