The post you linked mentions the images in question being hosted on Imgur. Imgur has since deleted all NSFW content it once hosted. That CYOA was likely NSFW, judging by the title of it. Ergo, this is most likely not an issue with QQ's image proxying.
To my recollection, historically, images that were proxied would still be available on QQ because of the image proxy. That's why I thought it was unintentional behavior. If those images should still be available through the image proxy but aren't, that's a bug.
My guess would be that the proxy doesn't hold images forever, since that would mean holding a copy of every image anyone ever linked on QQ forever. I suspect the proxy only keeps a given image until a certain amount of time has passed without anyone looking at it, then discards it. So if you're looking at an old thread - one that you might well be the first person to read in weeks or months - then the images will no longer be in the proxy, and if the original source is also gone, you're SOL.
As you can see, no. It may be a Brave thing, though? They're weird.Anyone else having issues leaving commenta on pc. I'm only able to comment via andriod right now.
Haven't tested apple but i dont have any apple devices either.
It was fine on brave before the update. Now I can't comment on pc's brave browser, open spoiler buttons, and something else I forgot..... Images?? Image spoiler buttons???? Ya that one of them. Were there more?? I'll remember at some point probably then I'll just edit this I think.
I mean, the update here was back in May. If you're talking about a Brave update, though, you might want to look there.
Just checked when the update for brave happened and it did happen right around when I started having issues. December 19th and it works fine on firefox posting from there now. So you were right the issue is with brave, it must been interacting weird with xenforo 2 due to braves latest update. No Idea how to fix it, only how to work around it with firefox.
It's a side effect of Imgur's ban on NSFW content. Apparently QQ's notable enough to be on the list of known porn sites that Imgur is aware of, and as a result Imgur has decided to block QQ from embedding images from Imgur. Since the problem is on Imgur's side, not QQ's, there's not really anything that anyone on QQ can do about it, short of somehow getting the money to buy Imgur outright and revert their NSFW ban.
Hi!
Am I the only here who's having a problem with several issues?
One is that embeded twitter (x) posts don't load and show up on mobile. Another is that I can't seem to search site members properly even when typing their full name! The names just doesn't show up in the search suggestion!
It's a known bug, that's been happening for a couple months now. It appears to concern specific userhandles (a great many of them at this point), with little rhyme or reason otherwise.
Uh, got a citation on that?
Because neither of those sites use an image proxy, AFAIK.
Nope, image proxy is a standard XF feature. The only difference between QQ and SB is that QQ keeps the image proxied indefinitely whereas SB will dump it and reproxy it after a certain amount of time.
Yeah, my citation is the explanation that @alethiophile gave in this post. The problem is that Imgur has blocked QQ's server specifically, on their end, which is why image embeds work on say, SB and SV, but don't work over here.
Uh, try reading that again. Unless they happened to decide to start blocking QQ on the exact same day we happened to be doing a server move, it clearly isn't them targeting us specifically because we're a porn site.
That is exactly why they started blocking us, they started getting a bunch of traffic from a new IP address, so they looked at where it was from saw it was here and decided they didn't want us to be able to make use of them. They didn't notice it prior because it wasn't new traffic before then and so they didn't bother looking into it when they banned NSFW.
Unlike SB, QQ neither requires nor creates the tags. You want a specific tag? Type it in the tag box on your thread, but don't expect anyone else to use it if they don't feel like it.
