"Dead image link" bug

I can't see images (displayed with [img] code) on any of the threads.

For example I wanted to post some new pictures on my old campaign art thread, but I can only see:
This is a dead image link: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b358/FiannaVPC/Party1.jpg, and such.
This started happening somewhere during or before this weekend, when I started reading everything all over the forums.

By the way I checked a few of those links and they do work.
Umm, the forum might be going through some changes and I may be nagging for no reason at all (again :oops: ), but anyway I had to report it.

"Dead image link" bug

The dead image links are there to try to resolve a lot of the images that well - were broken because their owners hadn't tended to their threads in quite awhile. The system essentially makes an effort to find the file and if it can't find it - declares it dead - but leaves that message up so you know what's going on and can check it. (This is new - before this it would have had a giant 'broken image' complete with little red box for most situations.)

Testing:

Hm. It does seem to be failing to link - but not failing on a direct access - which leaves me to think photobucket may have something special set up on their end. I'm going to take a look at this and see what I can work out...

This is malfunctioning on an image stored on my website, too.

Ok, I've turned the system off for the moment as it didn't seem to be liking much of anything I tried to do to make it reference the file correctly. :-/
