I just want to report that a few .mediatrops.info images (the one used for the avatars) do not load for me, but their equivalent .tvtropes.org images load

Can you provide examples for reference's sake?

On a separate note, as explained in these posts, some article images refuse to show up at all for me, even though opening the link manually (in the same page or in a separate page/tab) works without problems. For clarification, the image itself does not show up, but its space in the page is still occupied by some empty box that displaces the surrounding text as if the image was still there (e.g. Extreme Omnisexual). Captions are also positioned where you'd expect them to be if the image was showing properly.

Example of such an afflicted article.

http://imgur.com/JQ2XtK9 - Chrome 45 Stable Channel on Windows 8.1 64-bit. I've confirmed that the image loads properly in Internet Explorer and Firefox, so it might just be a bug in the JS/CSS that formats the page that Chrome/Chromium's renderer doesn't like. I added a reply to the BUGS post.

I can second this being a problem in chrome only. The images load in firefox just fine. Strangely it only seems to happen on trope pages, rather than media work pages.

Character Sheets also seem to be fine on my end, BTW. What about you guys?

I'm getting character sheets. It seems to be trope pages and trope pages only for me.

I seem to be having a similar problem to the one that Marq FJA is having.

I'm using Chrome Version 46.0.2471.2 (Official Build) dev-m (64-bit) and, for example, the image on the "Hot Skitty-on-Wailord action page isn't showing up. HOWEVER, by messing around in the chrome console, editing as HTML, and removing the click-through link (I think) I got the image to show up.

Exactly what I removed is

"<a class="twikilink" href="https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Franchise/Pokemon" title="https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Franchise/Pokemon">"

from the whole, which was

"<div class="quoteright" style="width:300px;"><a class="twikilink" href="https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Franchise/Pokemon" title="https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Franchise/Pokemon"><img src="http: //static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Skitty Lurves Wailord.jpg" class="embeddedimage" border="0" alt=""></a></div>"

I don't know why removing the click through link worked to bring the image back, but for some reason it did.

Yeah, I just checked on a few other pages as well, and in every case, removing the "<a class="twikilink"...> whatever it happens to be, or in editing the page, the "[[Category/Page" that comes right after "quoteright:Width" seems to be what's causing the problem.

I just don't know how to fix it.

Interesting. I'll have to see if this works on my end as well after running this quick errand. Drewski, sir, could you please give this thing a look-over? You know coding better than most of us regular contributors do.

~Drewski

Sorry for the double-post, I messed up the markup in the previous one, and it only works when the post is first made, not when it's edited.

~Marq FJA, I have temporarily edited the Soap Punishment page, seeing as the click-through picture link is already a captioned link. Can you check to see if the image is there for you? (And if not, try editing and removing what I mentioned above?)

Link to the page is: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SoapPunishment

It's showing up. And I manually pulled it off too on my end with the method you outlined above, using Tearful Smile... except that the problem manifests again if I refresh the page, as the settings return to default.

So... WTH is going on?

You have to actually edit and save the page for it to work permanently, but that means erasing the click-through link.

Seems like this may be resolved; locking. If it isn't, please make a new thread.
