No pictures - selective - icanhas.cheezburger.com Topic is solved

[Mom-Kat]

Just today I noticed that the main pictures do not display on icanhas.cheezburger.com. I thought it was the update and rolled back to 27.5 but it's still an issue.

Note that some pics show, just not the center ones.
This is in safe mode:

no_pics_safe_mode.png

I tried adding a useragent string but that didn't do anything. The pictures show on Chrome.

Ideas?

I'm running Win 7 64 bit
64 bit Pale Moon 27.5 / and the update.

I also discovered that clicking on where the picture is supposed to be and selecting "Copy Image Location" yields this in Pale Moon: data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAI=

But for the same picture I get this in Chrome:
https://i.chzbgr.com/full/9082127360/hE5CE981A/

I don't know if that helps or not. I'm sure it's something the site messed up, as I could see them fine yesterday.

I only use a Clean Profile, and if I use the browser, I try it again.
It shows the middle image on my end.

Please, clean your cache. As it might be a start.

Edit: Looking at the image, I also get the same link you posted with the Chromium-based browser.

Edit2: I stand corrected on the link I pasted but it is the same as the image in the page.

Edit3: Okay, yes, other images are not displaying. They do show up in Firefox and Basilik, odd.

Status: Confirmed.

I'm sorry - the pictures are from the page http://icanhas.cheezburger.com/lolcats.
Is that the page you went to? Because if I go to the main page at http://icanhas.cheezburger.com/ I see this:

main_icanhas.png

Which does show a center picture.
BUT if you go lower the picture no longer show:

main_icanhas_lower.png

And yes, I cleared my cache - several times.
And I can see that picture, too - but no other ones in the center.

UPDATE:
Apparently videos will also show:

Okay, I am seeing errors:

So, is this a security issue? Or is it another case of sloppy site coding that other browsers ignore but Pale Moon catches??

More important - can you give me some technical info I can pass on when I message the site over the problem??

Okay, I filed the report to the GitHub, since it might get more exposure from the people that understand it better than I do.
If there is a problem happening, they'll give their input on it and anything that you can report to the website in question.

Same to me, no pictures in the indicated link(s)

Images are lazy-loaded by page scripts (unnecessary for desktop browser clients!). The problem is that it requires JS to do so, and best I can tell is that there's an issue with this because it throws an error "20:56:50.026 TypeError: n.replaceWith is not a function1 main-moist.js:4:23353" -- obviously minified, so impossible to debug/troubleshoot from our end.

MSIE, which they are supposed to officially support, also doesn't display images, so there's definitely something amiss there they need to fix. I sent them an e-mail.

[Mom-Kat]

Wonderful. Hopefully they'll do something soon. I'll post back when it's fixed.

[Moonchild]

Looks like they're implicitly using a function from the whatwg DOM specification without checking for support. These methods aren't part of the W3C TR DOM4 spec, either.

(compare https://www.w3.org/TR/dom/#childnode with https://dom.spec.whatwg.org/#interface-childnode)

Thank you, to Megaman and Moonchild for the tech stuff. The pictures are now working again. LOVE MY PALE MOON!!!!
