I'm not having any problems here with wikipedia on 12.18 with javascript enabled.

I haven't come up with a solution, but looking at the network info in Dragonfly, the page request is repeatedly returning:

HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently
.

.
Location: Stupid_forum_editor_won't_let_me_type_h_t_t_p_s_without_turning_it_into_a_link://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can%27t_Stop_(Red_Hot_Chili_Peppers_song)

In my 12.18, instead of following the redirect it just repeatedly retries the original request (with the ' instead of the %27).

If I enter Stupid_forum_editor_won't_let_me_type_h_t_t_p_s_without_turning_it_into_a_link://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Can%27t_Stop_(Red_Hot_Chili_Peppers_song) I get the same results.

Based on this maybe someone else here knows of a solution or workaround?

Check that specific font in another program. Twice I've had (I believe) a Windows update lose the default font and had the same result.

OK, I'm glad it seems to be working for everyone (knock on wood)! Please post if this is still causing problems.

I'm going to rewrite the instructions here, with hopefully the correction showing properly by delimiting the asterisks, to make it easier if we want to refer to it in the future.

Workaround fix for Photobucket embedded images not displaying in 12.17

I'm not sure if this will cause any problems for other sites, but try this in 12.17:

• Open the opera:config advanced configuration page.

• Go to the "Network" section.

• Under "HTTP Accept" enter the following string:

image/gif, image/jpeg, image/pjpeg, application/x-ms-application, application/vnd.ms-xpsdocument, application/xaml+xml, application/x-ms-xbap, application/x-shockwave-flash, */*

• Hit the save button at the bottom of the Network section.

• See if Photobucket images are working.

Apparently this forum autoformatted and I didn't notice last night, but it shouldn't be "/" at the end but rather asterisk slash asterisk.

See if that helps with any broken sites. Otherwise adding appropriate tags might work, but web development is not my bread and butter.

You can change them by editing the preferences file, but (though harmless) it's not for beginners.

I think PB is a little different from most "we don't support your browser" sites because we are talking about embedded pictures that can affect any site on the web. If I post a picture and the "geniuses" at PB can break it for some browsers used by other people that I want to see my picture, both now or at any point in the future (!), why in the world should I use PB?

One of these days I'm going to look back into fixing this, but if I contacted PB I would let them know that if their site is not universally compatible for embedded pics, I will not only not use it myself but recommend that no one else use it either every chance I get.

Technically all they need to do is serve the picture directly for certain browsers. I found that the changing the "accept" tag in the request header can cause them to serve up the picture directly rather than redirect, but then I (temporarily) lost interest in pursuing it.

Upon further review, it's not consistently working

Looking like it may require some userscript...

I don't understand web developers always making things needlessly complicated. You don't need pages of scripting to load a stupid image.

You need to add the site specific preferences for a few of those Photobucket sites I listed because even though you can't always access them directly, the code PB uses to display images runs indirectly off of some of those sites.

If you go to Tools>Preferences>Advanced>Content>Manage Site Preferences and then add those sites listed above and set "Mask as Internet Explorer" for each one (and make sure Javascript is enabled if you don't enable it globally), I think it should work. I got most everything working here the other day by doing so, though I lost interest before I got image editing and the previous/current/next image thumbnails working.

Unfortunately there's a lot of PB sites, and I can't remember exactly which ones fixed this particular problem. I thought it was the one's starting with "i" but it might have been the pbsrc.com ones. It took me awhile so I finally ended up just changing every PB-related site I could find, but embedded images definitely went from not working to working here by changing that setting.
