Message: <blockquote data-quote="Darkness" data-source="post: 691733" data-attributes="member: 13">Even though I didn't see the pic in question (since nemmerle took care of it before I got there), I can imagine what happened:bondetamp tried to directly link to a picture hosted on <a href="http://www.somethingawful.com" target="_blank">www.somethingawful.com</a>Alas, the problem with that is that Something Awful doesn't like other people eating up their bandwith this way.Therefore, they use a system not unlike the one sites like Tripod, Angelfire, etc. use: When you link to one of their pics, you don't see the pic you wanted, but instead a standard picture everyone linking to any of their pics gets.Only that Tripod gives you a "hosted by Tripod" image instead of the pic you wanted, while Something Awful gives you... very explicit material.Heh. I've seen it happen a few times, both in EN World and on other message boards.So remember: If you want to post a cool pic from Something Awful, save it and host it somewhere else instead of directly linking to it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />- Darkness</blockquote>
