I've noticed that 'broken' image link for a long time now. It's been broken for so long that I'm in the same boat as Medic8r - I just assumed it was the way it was. Never bothered to speak up about it!

I'm using Firefox 3.0.4, and it doesn't work on either XP Pro SP3 or Vista HPE SP1. I don't have IE 7 on this PC, but I do still have 6.0.29 ......... no dice. Shows up 'broken' there too.

I have an iPhone 3G too...... nope, just like the others, busted.

Works fine for me with IE7 on XP. Don’t even get the popup as I have Axiom set as a trusted site.

On the other hand, often, when I click the "Preview Post" button I get a "Preview Loading" indication and the green line moves slowly across but never completes it's journey and the preview never loads. If I then click the "Send" button, the same thing occurs - green line that hangs about half way across forever. However, if I close my browser and then reopen it, and return to the forum, I find that my post did make it into the thread. Weird.


That also happen to me but only very occasionally. Hitting the back button and then re-clicking on "Preview Post" or "Send" takes care of it for me.

It's not a broken link on my iPhone. I can see how people might think it was, but it's not broken.

Oh THANK YOU, Grunt. Now all I have to do is remember to do that.

It may be working for you on your iPhone, but it's definitely a broken link on mine. \:\(

To borrow Ajax's links, it looks exactly like this , not

But that's not a broken link. If that was a broken link, it would have a little jaggy through it. Jack, where did you get that other one?

See "Broken Pic in Netscape"
http://www.pageresource.com/trouble/timage.htm

That's the same image I'm seeing but without the tear. I agree, not precisely the same 'bad image' graphic. I see your point and I suspect the problem is that it *looks* like an invalid image but in fact it isn't. My brain sees the shapes and immediately just thinks it's an invalid image. But still different than the little mountain that it used to be.

Doesn't really matter that much, though, as the image tool works just fine. Just a weird icon. ;\)

I got this one directly from the Axiom Posting Form. I got this one from another forum. I'm pretty sure it is the same image that used to be on the Axiom Posting form.

As I said, in my post, the link does work correctly for me, but the image isn't showing correctly.

To prove to yourself that it's not a broken link or the incorrect image, right-click on the image button and save the image to your desktop. It should be called image.gif. If you open it, it will look just like what you see on the Axiom forum.
