Title: Certain profiles are timing out.

Take a look at these two profiles:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=236087
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=8230

If you use Chrome, look at the bottom left. It sits there "Connecting..." to something until it times out.

What is different about these profiles than all the others?

Not sure but:

- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=236087

Code:

line 257
<td class="windowbg" valign="middle" align="center" width="150">
			<img src="http://xhash.net/images/avatar2.png" width="120" height="80" alt="" class="avatar" border="0" /><br /><br />
			xHash.net Pools
		</td>

the website is down so the image doesn't load http://xhash.net/images/avatar2.png

- https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=8230

Code:

<td class="windowbg" valign="middle" align="center" width="150">
			<img src="http://www.goalranks.com/" width="120" height="80" alt="" class="avatar" border="0" /><br /><br />
			
		</td>

he/she used the website link instead the image link so when you load the profile you hit the website, and it's down

Simple,the connection is getting timed-out because the request is not fulfilled by the server. In case of the first profile,you can just open chrome's console and see the warning :

Mixed Content: The page at 'https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=236087' was loaded over HTTPS, but requested an insecure image 'http://xhash.net/images/avatar2.png'. This content should also be served over HTTPS.

That is the member's avatar,you can now open the link : http://xhash.net/images/avatar2.png see how it is not able to server the requested image.

Thank you guys. Forgot about Chrome console... that's been happening more often as I get older. :(

It's odd that just two accounts out of 1.46 million I've scanned have had this issue.

Theymos must have made a change to storing profile pictures locally.
