What's the deal with the images that are hosted off site not loading correctly? Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.

off site or just E-bay?

I've always had to download the ebay photos using a special program and then uploading them here.

Extra work here too (2 minutes top) :

Question: where is the line between 'hood scoop' and 'hood hole'?

Just eBay, but it's hit and miss. The thread with the firetruck in it has the pictures hosted at eBay and they all loaded just fine.

well.... no, they didn't. I sometimes come back and fix threads for you, I download the pictures from ebay an upload here. The firetruck spot is just one example of that.

Here's what I'm talking about, from the custom concept thunder storm SS mini truck thread:

All five pictures are hosted on ebay, but only the top and bottom ones loaded, the middle three just stayed as code. I looked at the links and I didn't see any characters that would conflict with the board, so I'm not sure what the problem is. Either way, I'll try to host pictures from somewhere other than ebay from now on.

there is some ebay protection system built in.

Found that facebook won't upload either the extension is not allowed on this site. Funny this site is always waiting for facebook to load something?
