ill try then in the morning and let you know.

 

[andycupra]

I can confirm that the threads no longer crashes IE for me.

The next question is what can be done to stop this happening again? If its not already been done..

School people to use imglink instead of img.

or

turn off image resizing, which isn't going to happen.

So the first option seems to be school people to use imglink instead of img. As well as Dave's comment, search out spangly glittery banners and they will be re-coded or binned.

ok, ill hold my hands up and admit that im pretty gormless when it comes to different types of links...

so am i correct that i should use the second type of link below?

no
IMGLINK]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v471/andycupra/terry.jpg[/IMGLINK

But with [ at the front - and ] at the back.

Basically it's kind of our fault.

We upgraded the image resize software, this is essential as we all know there are a bunch of eejits out there that can't resize their images to suit. So the software does it for them.

However the new software also incorporates litebox, which means any pictures are opened up in a pop-up viewer and you can cycle through all the images in the thread.

This works fine for all IMG coded files without links. But the software also incorporates a workaround for those images that have url links applied to them.

Here is a quick guide.

IMG Code - Where you see these {} in the code below replace with []

Example of an IMG without a link (Original Image is 1024x681)

Code = {IMG}url or web address of image goes here{/IMG}

The result of using the code shows the image is resized in the post and if you click the image it should open to the full size in the litebox viewer.

Example of an IMG with a link, and why IMG with link no longer works properly

If you do an IMG with a link. Like the small thumbnail example below. This would of taken you to the SCN homepage if the url link it contained worked as it did before. However because the IMG code is now linked to the litebox it will no longer will work correctly and will just open in the litebox or even crash out IE in some reported cases.

Code = {url=http://www.seatcupra.net} {img}url or web address of image goes here{/img} {/url}



Example of an IMG with a link using the IMGLINK code instead

This is essentially exactly the same as above. Except where ever {IMG} appeared in the code we now replace it with {IMGLINK} instead. This now disables the litebox viewer and allows the original image link to be opened as normal. If you click the image below, it should now take you to the SCN homepage.

Code = {url=http://www.seatcupra.net} {imglink}url or web address of image goes here{/imglink} {/url}

Hope the above helps

This is happening to me again... happened in one or two threads in the mk1 leon section, but then repeatedly does it on Jonesy's '2009 achievements' thread in off topic... managed to stay on long enough to notice lollypop has posted in there but done know whether this is related or not.

On IE version 6 XP btw!

i think i have spotted who's it is too - edited now

retry it andy see if it any better

Don't think it matters anyway now, the resize software appears to have changed again anyway. m0rk must of decided to ditch it.

 

[andycupra]

all sorted thanks.

Seems the offender has gone further and deleted the sig pic.

I had it twice now on the second page of the 'christmas is soooo boring thread'. Oddly it seems to take a different length of time to recognise the problem. Weird how it affects only some of us - this has happened on my work lappy and brand new netbook too.

 

[andycupra]

its doing it again.
this time on this thread....

potentially the same 'offender' as before as they have updated their signature...
