Groups bug(?): some pics not showing, while others seem to be able to see them

23 Feb 2020

I've noticed on a few occasions that some pics do not show up for me (I get the "Image Missing" placeholder) while others seem to be seeing these images. At first I thought maybe the block feature works differently in Groups, as these pics all seemed to be posted by the same user, but there are many other pics posted by this user that I can see.

Some examples:

Anyone noticed the same issue?

I find some pics I can't see in Firefox I can in Opera.

Firefox has a shed load of addons and to be honest I can't be ar... bothered to work through them. Opera has the included adblocker active, but I have not added any extras to it.

In your example both links came up with Image Missing in Firefox, but both worked in Opera

I don't know if it's a regional thing as my FF doesn't play YouTube vids posted from the US, but Opera does.

Firefox has become so bad the last year or so, I don't use it at all anymore. It's a real shame. At one stage, they were real pioneers in the browser space.

If you use Chrome or Edge then you shouldn't have any issues.

What browser are you using Noll?

I normally use Brave when visiting Lush. I hadn't tried this in another browser as the image source actually says "/images/imagemissing.png", so I assumed this was set on the server.

But now this difference between browsers is pointed out I tried all of these: Brave, Chrome, Opera, Edge (all Chromium based), Firefox (Gecko) and Safari (WebKit) but still none of them show the images in the posts I linked before.

Then I thought, if the browser differs for some folks then the image source may be set by JavaScript in the browser itself, and it seems that that is exactly what's happening. But why is this happening in one browser and not in the other? Well, if I open the original image source directly in the browser, then I see a page with an "I'm not a robot" test and only after passing the test I get to see the image. But when this URL is the image source, its response is a "403 Forbidden", which triggers the JavaScript to swap the image source for "/images/imagemissing.png".

Apparently the people who do get to see the images don't need to do the test. Perhaps they already did pass some test before when they visited that domain some other way, or perhaps there's something about my connection that makes the server that hosts that image to think I might indeed be a robot.

Anyway, I did the test in Edge (and passed, yay!*) and lo and behold, both images now do show up in that browser. Apparently they are both hosted on the same server.
