Image/picture issues on the forums

Anybody else been unable to see pictures or images recently? For instance, someone put out a battlegrounds tier list in one of the discussions, but all that pops up for me is a blank space - and having been drawn into the concept but not knowing who is in what tier is driving me insane. You know what else is driving me insane? The mystery of @DNA3000 and their preliminary assessment for battlegrounds, because I CANT SEE ANY IMAGES, AND THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME.

I just need to know if someone else feels my pain (and if the issue can be fixed, of course)

If it is all of them, maybe there's an issue with reaching the local content delivery cache for the pictures from your location. The pictures aren't retrieved directly from the server that's hosting the forums, they are retrieved from a content delivery network - basically a large international network of caching servers that tries to point your browser to where it thinks you'll get the best performance to fetch them. That mechanism can sometimes break, and cause things like pictures to not show up for some people in some locations or using some ISPs.
Try this: try to go directly to this URL:
https : // us.v-cdn.net/6029252/uploads/editor/e4/pa45lgspbyum.png
(I've added spaces so the forums doesn't auto convert it to a link). That's the URL of the picture I posted in my latest thread. If that doesn't work for you, it might be a CDN issue, or an ISP issue on your end. Or it might be some other more esoteric problem.
