Folks,
To the best of my knowledge, I haven't posted any adventuremotorcycle.com link in any of my recent posts in this thread and I can't see one either.
Is it my eyes? Can you point me to where it is exactly ?

Andy,

It was in Post #38.

The post quotes a previous post, and has some link. In my browser, Chrome under OS X, it appears as an unresolved icon. But I can see in the link window that Chrome is trying to download something from adventuremotorcycle.com. What did you try to post in post #38, which otherwise is empty.

thanks!

This is all my browser (Firefox) shows for that post 38 now, your quote from chinabiker and no pics, comments or links, empty except for your sig at the bottom:

I posted a picture, which I uploaded as attachment, but didn't attach. Instead, I linked to it.
This is where it is:

Code:

It does display with FF 3.6.6
It does not display anything with Opera 10.58
It shows an unlinked icon with Chrome 6.0.422.0; when I copy the link URL I get this

All XP Pro SP2, en

Here screenshot of all 3 browser views side by side.
It seems something to think about for the IT gurus among us

Thanks Andy. This last works fine now. I am using firefox 3.66 as well and got nowt before. I no longer enjoy Firefox since the last few updates but I am certainly not going back to IE! Lets hope someone can work out what does that, yours was not the only one, it has happened before.

Nice! obviously the key message is this: 10年 (10 years). Congrats.

And, yes, seems not all browsers treat MCM html equally. i recently shifted to chrome, having grown tired of firefox, camino and safari for different reasons. may consider switching back to firefox, which seems to have the greatest reliability for such issues. (though it's still very painful to be a mac user here inside the firewall, where EVERYTHING is optimized for MSFT/Win...)

thanks for your sleuthing.

cheers

And one more related bit of news for apple fans in China: Finally, an official Apple store will open here in Shanghai on 10 July. It's been a very long wait, but looks like Apple is doing it right: The store will be underground in the new twin-tower International Financial Center in Lujiazui. The entrance, akin to the flagship store in Manhattan, will be a 10m high glass tower bang in the middle of the IFC central plaza. Impressive.

It's now shrouded, but Apple has sent out an invitation:

Apple Pudong store announcement

Shanghaiist report

MacGeneration report

IFOAppleStore report

cheers
