Look at the OP. The image of the gold coin included in Cyrus's post has been deleted.
Is it possible for someone to repost an image?

If you hit quote to get the url https://bitcointalk.org/Themes/custom1/images/star.gif they are still there. The forum has been very slow to load or failing to load images ever since the switch to CloudFlare.


CloudFlare has nothing to do with it, IMHO. That's why pictures load for a long time.

The forum acts as a proxy for all embedded images. This is a privacy feature to disable tracking pixels, but it's also slow.

You might be right, I just noticed that it started happening at the time CloudFlare was introduced. It was never so slow that you would read a post without even knowing there was an image missing before. Also, I'd never seen the 'Invalid Proxy' message displayed when there is a link to a valid image. Whatever it is the post hasn't been changed and the images haven't been moved so it is something about the forum that is preventing them being displayed.
