Re: Forum ranks/positions/badges (What do those shiny coins under my name mean?)
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.
Sometimes, when loading a third-party image, this picture is displayed.
If you refresh the page several times, the normal image is loaded.
Yes, that is what I said. I don't remember encountering this problem before the switch to CloudFlare. That doesn't mean it is related and it could be a coincidence. The real point is it happens a lot at the moment and it needs fixing.
