Broken images

[AlNipper49]

Many images will be broken for a bit - they're stored on Amazon and Amazon is having a really crappy day for everyone, not just us.

I wonder if it is the lighting storms over the server farms in Northeastern Oregon.

Random question. I see posts with an embedded GIF that, in the body of the message appears like this:

But when I right-click and open the image in a new window (e.g. http://cdn.sonsofsamhorn.net/2015/11/1826_da0d496240c7d2ce429d850adff88763.gif), the GIF works fine.

Is there some weirdness as to how the board displays GIFs? Or is it a browser issue? Or something else?

It's the same for me. Some of the Smilies load and others do not. Opening them in a new window works.

The target image is on a non-https URL, which browsers these days will refuse to display inline on https pages. I can fix the smilies, doing that now (it'll take a couple of minutes).

EDIT: Nope, the free proxy I use only supports still images. @AlNipper49 if we add cdn.sonsofsamhorn.net to our SSL cert then I can fix these easily.

Sadly, they're only stills with this workaround.

Nice work dopes! (woot with a random extra space afterward)
