Images attached to posts in this forum don't load (and haven't for a long time) when clicked on for me (thumbnails are showing), and it's not related to Ublock. There are no errors in the console whatsoever. Black-ish screen with animated progress icon shows up but the image never loads.

For example, this posts: https://www.techpowerup.com/forums/thre ... st-5328278

Does it work for anyone else or...?

Doesn't work for me either. In fact, I use another XenForo powered forum which has the exact same problem.

I do get one console error:

Code: Select all

SyntaxError: An invalid or illegal string was specified

"Organized Identity Politics are the bane of civilized society."

Not the small thumbnail image, but the full one, which is gotten by clicking on the thumbnail.

The filter I made for XenForo still works for me, just edit it and change the host to /xenforo\.com|tpncdn\.com/.

What exactly does it do and how do I even use it?

Btw is this a bug in the forums software or a PM incompatibility?

It patches the script so it works; the link shows how to use it.

Incompatibility, using features not supported by PM (although I guess it depends on how you view the state of the web).

It doesn't work.
I really don't understand what am I supposed to write and change where.

Editing the filter directly needs two backslashes before the dot (i.e. ...xenforo\\.com|tpncdn\\.com...; I was thinking you'd "Launch Editor" and change it there).

The editor makes no sense to me unfortunately :( Host path search replace - what on earth do I do with that?
I think I will simply wait until this is fixed, this is too complicated.
