    Didn't know where this should go, so I decided to post this here.

    A lot of people have been having problems not seeing some images (they come up as text saying 'user posted image'). For me, this usually happens when I load 10 or so pages at once in ten different tabs. There are a few ways to fix this-



    Don't view so many pages at once.

    Refresh, this usually fixes it.

    If you are using Mozilla Firefox, right click the user posted image and click 'Copy Link Location', then paste it into your address bar. It should come up. Another way to do this is to click 'View Image' when you right click it.

    OR

    If you are using Internet Explorer, right click the user posted image and click 'Properties'. Copy the address and paste it into your address bar.



    Hope this helps :D

    You don't have to go through all that hassle of copying the image location or anything, just right click>view image.

    The reason the View Image method works is it bypasses hotlink protection. Instead of being referred by gamerenders to the image (thus activating the protections any denying the image), you directly access the image without a referer, which most of the time people have chosen to allow.

    Just incase anybody wanted to know...
