About 10% of the avatars on this site have spaces in the the file name. i.e.
<img src="http://www.nsxprime.com/ubb/avatars/custom/FAQ Nazi.gif">
According to the spec, URL's cannot contain spaces. Therefore, this is invalid HTML code.
IE replaces the spaces on the fly with %20 symbols. i.e.
<img src="http://www.nsxprime.com/ubb/avatars/custom/FAQ%20Nazi.gif">
Netscape however does not modify URL names. So effectively, only IE users can see FAQ Nazi's avatar. For Netscape users it comes up as a broken image.
The simple solution to this is to simply not use spaces in URL's since that's invalid anyway. Then NSXprime will be perfectly viewable by both IE and Netscape.
Since it appears I'm the only one who's complained so far, this is a sickening sign of how nearly everyone is using IE and Windows-- the McDonalds's of operating systems. In car terms, Windows is the equivalent of a Ford Escort.
Or a better analogy... Imagine if our choosen cars (NSX) were only drivable on 2% of the roads in this country and gas stations with "NSX compatible" gas were only available every 500 miles. Effectively, you'd have little choice but to buy that Ford Escort.
Lud, please fix this! You'll have my eternal gratitude. Thanks.
