I am running a 4.2.2 Patch Level 4 board that has developed a problem in the past couple of weeks. Attachments that are uploaded directly to the server are showing up as links, rather than inline as configured (see attached photo).
We have been online for nearly a year with the site configured as below and had no issues until now:
vBulletin Options > Message Attachment Options > View Attached Images Inline > Yes, full size
Nothing has changed on our end since we upgraded to PL 4 several months ago. The problem first occurred over a week ago, and I fixed it by changing the above setting to Yes, display thumbnails, and then back to Yes, full size. When I do this, the links go away and the photos appear with a refresh of the browser. Things were fine for about a week, and the problem came back again. Now for the last three days, when I go online in the morning I find that the problem has occurred (we have daily photo threads). I'm glad to have a workaround, but clearly it is not acceptable to have to have to fool around with the site settings every day to keep the photos from disappearing.
Any pics hosted offsite that are inside IMG tags work fine, this is only a problem with uploaded attachments. Also, when this occurs, you can click the link and the photo opens in a new window, so it is not a problem with the attachments themselves.
I've searched around and not seen this exact problem, nor do I have any idea how to figure out the root cause. Any ideas?
