The method of posting pictures on archinect using "hotlinking", which is to say that the images in the forums aren't actually uploaded to archinects servers, they are displayed from another location, which is why you use the full address in the img tag to display the image in the discussions.

After a recent mishap where I posted some images from rockandrollconfidential.com/hall in a since killed thread called "OWNED", the images showed up in the discussion forum replaced with a different image ... one involving fellation and a homeless guy.

So, firstly, I apologize for killing the thread and if anyone was offended. The images I meant to post were actually much funnier.

I understand how the switch occurred (go here for explanation). But what I don't understand is that I couldn't see the offensive image from my work computer, but when I viewed the discussion from my laptop, lo and behold. I should have been tipped off when somebody referred to a "gross" image I had posted, and none of the images I meant to post were "gross."

There is another example of this in the design vs. styling forum, where down the page is an image of a woman's thong visible above the back of her jeans. I can see this image at work, but on my laptop it is switched out with an cartoon ad for a site called dumpstersluts.

So, I'm wondering if anybody knows why this happens, why the switch works on some computers and not others?
