Something got broken recently. None of the images in peoples posts show. See for example these threads:
http://andorstrail.com/viewtopic.php?f= ... e&start=10
http://andorstrail.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=4716
and even this one, which I only created a few minutes ago:
http://andorstrail.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=4864

hmm..
a few days ago, suddenly the whole forum(www.andorstrail.com) failed to load..
it said some kind of server was down, if i remembered right..
(it did work after some time.. less then an hour, not exact though)
maybe that's the problem..?

first I thought that this problem was only with the avatar images.
but atleast avatar images are shown when I changed/reuploaded them.

if anybody is having trouble uploading avatar image then the user can upload avatar image to http://postimage.org and then it will give you a link just copy it and paste it in the "link off-site" in "edit avatar" and your avatar will be uploaded.

Error 1001 Ray ID: 176207c83c74012a
DNS resolution error
What happened?
You've requested a page on a website (http://www.andorstrail.com) that is on the CloudFlare network. CloudFlare is currently unable to resolve your requested domain (http://www.andorstrail.com). There are two potential causes of this:
Most likely: if the owner just signed up for CloudFlare it can take a few minutes for the website's information to be distributed to our global network.
Less likely: something is wrong with this site's configuration. Usually this happens when accounts have been signed up with a partner organization (e.g., a hosting provider) and the provider's DNS fails.
CloudFlare Ray ID: 176207c83c74012a • Your IP: 211.169.56.108 • Performance & security by CloudFlare
here. this is what the andor's trail forum says when it fails to load(just did now) maybe this "CloudFlare" server has problems with the database of images?

Hmm this is very weird. I hope Scott will be able to fix this issue up.
I hope the pictures haven't just been deleted. That would be a pity .

I don't think they have been deleted, because I created a new post, uploaded the images, and they don't show. I think the images are uploaded to one place, and the forum is looking somewhere else. IIRC this happened once before, when the server was changed.

Oh that's interesting. You are probably correct with your assumption. I'm going to bring this up in the coming meeting.
