not seeing photos in posts
Just lately I am not seeing photos folks post in threads. I am using an iPad. I did check my user panel and everything seems OK there. Thank you for any help. ~ Christy

1. Browser is blocking images. You will need to consult with your browser's help to check and adjust.
2. You have 3rd party extensions that may be blocking the content. You will need to disable the extension or adjust settings.
3. You are viewing posts with hot-linked images (images hosted outside of CorvetteForum). In that case, we have no control over content outside of CorvetteForum.
4. It may be a browser-related issue, in which case provide the browser information so that we can review.

There is no known issue so it's going to be one of the following:
1. Browser is blocking images. You will need to consult with your browser's help to check and adjust.
2. You have 3rd party extensions that may be blocking the content. You will need to disable the extension or adjust settings.
3. You are viewing posts with hot-linked images (images hosted outside of CorvetteForum). In that case, we have no control over content outside of CorvetteForum.
4. It may be a browser-related issue, in which case provide the browser information so that we can review.

I just commented on it in one of the other sub areas because I can't see photos and thought to look in here.
I tried it on my Android phone - same issue, doesn't matter if I use mobile data or WiFi. I can see videos but not pics that are hosted here. I looked at the For Sale area in the C3, I can see the image on this one thread but apparently the image is hosted by BAT, it's not hosted on CF. I'm also not seeing the image on the "Sponsored by" in the upper right by my avatar. It seems to be related to images hosted on CF.

I'm seeing the same thing here - just noticed it within the last 24 - 48 hours or so. Tried on Firefox, Chrome, Brave (my default), Edge - I've changed nothing on any of them, I was seeing photos fine previously.

We can't provide support for VPN services, so you'll need to use a different VPN or disable it.

It appears both of you (ChristyB and brassplyer) are not only using a VPN, but appears to be the same VPN provider. This is not an issue with CorvetteForum, nor the browser or account, but is your VPN provider.

Thank you JT, I appreciate your reply. Yes, just recently I installed a VPN on my tablet. I guessed that might be the problem. The strange thing is, I can't seem to turn it off. brassplyr, can you turn yours off? BTW, I am a harp player.

I have a query in to tech support - I'll let you know what they say. I'm not ready to exonerate CF yet for reasons previously mentioned but we'll see.

Regardless of where the issue is, we can't provide support for VPNs so you will need to disable VPN or use a different VPN if this continues to be an issue.
Just for your reference, your VPN issue is with one of our asset servers: ibsrv.net. That's where some of our remote content comes from - such as attachments.

JT, for some reason I had loaded an older version of my VPN. When I updated it and learned how to turn it off, images showed up in this forum. Thank you for taking the time to help.
Once, long, long ago, I was a mod in a very large v-bulletin forum. I know how much time and effort it takes to provide help.
Thanks again ~ Christy

A new wrinkle - I just discovered I can't get onto bikeforums.net at all - I get a message saying the IP address is blocked. It's my understanding that corvetteforum and bikeforums are owned by the same people - they obviously use the same site environment.

Both sites are under Internet Brands, however, there is some different infrastructure so to speak.

This is what comes up. I also just made the discovery that CF won't accept an upload of an image with the VPN on - gets to 90% and stops, also not an issue previously. I see there's a mention of Cloudflare, I've seen the name before, I'm not versed as to what that is - I have a vague notion that it's related to security.

I never did get a response to my inquiry to Express VPN.
