I recently started a thread that is/will be pic heavy. When I went to update it on my phone I noticed many of the pics don't show up.
This is the thread in question: https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/build-projects-and-project-cars/prodarwins-adventures-in-3d-printing/198394/page1/
Pics 3-8 do not show on my phone - just empty small white boxes (iPhone 13, Safari), but do show up on both of my computers (Windows 10, Chrome)
Any idea why this is happening? I haven't noticed it on other threads I have browsed with my phone.
I notice it a lot, sometimes even with images that I hotlink. I always figured it was a host issue.
For instance, none of the images on the first few pages of my garage thread show up on mobile but they show up on my computer just fine. What is interesting is that I uploaded them via mobile, not this computer, so I do not see how it could be a simple permissions issue.
Iphone 13 here, same pictures don't show with both Safari and Firefox.
I am not sure of what causes this.

None of the pics in your thread show up on my computer :(
Just bumping this because I am still having this issue.
Are the missing images hosted on our site or on another site?
These are all hosted on the GRM board.
In reply to ProDarwin :
Looking at the image links for the missing ones it appears they aren't hosted by GRM but are google images links.
In reply to Stampie :
I wonder if maybe it's copy/pasting the address or embed code instead of the actual image file due to Google weirdness? I haven't been able to replicate the problem.
Weird. I think that is what is happening. It doesn't make sense, because if I right click-copy image and paste into any software on my computer (ppt, one note, etc.) the image is there, not an embed/link.
If I copy paste an image from my computer and paste into the box here, it shows up fine:
So the scenario only happens when I copy an image from my google photos and paste it here.
At least I know the problem though, I can work around that.
Happy Festivus!
In reply to ProDarwin :
Happy Festivus to you, too! Yeah, sounds like Google Photos isn't actually spitting out the image file it says it is. :(
