I don't know that you can do anything about it. If you look at the page source, the link to the image will be there, it's just that the browser can't grab it for some reason. That is a browser thing and not something you can put into your code (that I know of).

I have to agree to that! :up:

strange i've seen this working on some phpbb forums (if it works on phpbb it should also be possible with vbulletin)

on phpbb a board uses this after the img code:

onerror="this.src='url to /error.png'"

how can i add this to img tag? (so to let it parse with it? )
