    Some days ago, the images suddenly disappeared (videos are showing inside the posts).

    This happens on IE, Chrome, and Firefox. I've tested with VPN and without. Also tried to disable uBlock.
    When I use my mobile phone, it shows all the pictures as normal.

    Any suggestions?

    Is your connection fast? Some browser automatically don't download the images when the connection is too slow.

    I've seen this happen quite often, almost every day. It seems like it happens only at certain times of the day. Not only do the images don't load, but the comment reply functionality seems to break as well.

    My experience: Sometimes both sides cannot be reached for a few minutes. I would estimate once a week.
    I think that has something to do with the server. Maybe the data will be copied or updated - something like that.

    I've had that happen to me as well. I thought it might be a problem with the server. Doesn't seem to be related to internet speeds as the site functions perfectly even when sometimes my internet speed comes down to a crawl, and sometimes the site breaks even when I'm getting the highest speeds.

    One thing I forgot to mention: When the images don't load, one more function that breaks is the ability to login. During that time, if I try to login, the login popup doesn't appear.

    Are you connecting directly or through a VPN or proxy that?

    Extensions are disabled in incognito mode. Also tried to remove it when in normal mode, also with and without VPN

    that means that scripts are blocked. thumbnails in posts are loaded with scripts as well. so the problem is most likely related to some adblocker, script blocker or antivirus :sad:

    Strange, now the images are back. I've done nothing, no updates - no anything :)

    A few days ago it happened to me on sister site that all avatars were gone. If I remember well, instead of avatar pictures there was a text 'no avatar', including my own.

    It makes sense. I too thought that it might be an issue with the scripts. But my adblocker is disabled for AZ, and I have no script blocker or antivirus. The interesting thing is that it happens only sometimes, once every few weeks, and things go back to normal in a few hours.
    Thankfully I stay logged in almost all the time anyway. :rofl:
