We're seeing an odd problem with images. On some posts, clicking the image brings up a black rectangle instead of a zoomed in image. If I copy the image location and open it in another tab, clicking on the image displays the magnified image as we'd expect.

The problem appears in this post in the thread. https://forum.modelcarmakers.com/topic/204707-t-bucket-from-the-parts-bins/

Any insights would be appreciated.

The link points to a spacer.gif, not the actual image. Did you use the JavaScript-based lazy loading that was available in the past?

ACP > type Lazy in the ACP search window > Turn off Lazy load media content

Support Tab > Clear System Caches

The site looks and works fine in my firefox browser but I can see where lazy load is really being lazy and you have click multiple times on images to get the full image to render and not the black box.

Please check this and let us know, Dave.

PS: Just looking at the tiny parts on those models fills me with dread. You must have some patience to do those lol
