Firefox won't display attached photos from photobucket in my forum
Hi everybody, Me and other members of the snowclub.gr forum cannot see attached photos (e.g. [IMG]http://i380.photobucket.com/albums/oo247/ALCATRAZ_GR/IMG_2183_low.jpg/IMG) on the forum. I can see that the URL above is displayed as http://i3%38%30.photobucket.com/albums/oo247/ALCATRAZ_GR/IMG_2183_low.jpg and that kind of address is not recognized by Firefox. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Firefox doesn't allow such escaped characters in the domain part of an URL.
You can use this bookmarklet to correct the links:
javascript:(function(){function R(w){try{var i,L,r=1,n,N=['IMG'];for(j=0;n=N[j];j++){E=w.document.getElementsByTagName(n);for(i=0;L=E[i];i++){for(k in L.attributes){L.attributes[k].value=unescape(L.attributes[k].value);}}}}catch(e){alert(e);r=0}return(r)}R(self);var i,x;for(i=0;x=frames[i];++i)R(x);})();
Hi & thank you for your reply. Is this used in order to see the photos if they're not visible or to upload them with the correct link? How do I apply this code? I tried calling the bookmarklet but nothing happens...
You can use the bookmarklet code to make the images visible if you do not see them.
The bookmarklet changes the URL of the images and converts the escaped characters to their real characters.
I don't know why the s380 get escaped if you upload the images.
Are you using the copy to clipboard on photobucket page to copy the IMG code to the clipboard?
Does that also happen if you type the text instead of pasting the link text?
Start Firefox in Diagnose Firefox issues using Troubleshoot Mode to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Tried safe mode, no success. This happens even if I type the text instead of pasting the link text... What a strange issue...!
