Taking these to triage.

I can see the broken image link for http://model1.cl/images/andromeda/misc/tag.png 
and when I tried to access it with FF3/IE7/Safari they all gave the same result.  The 
webserver is returning a 404 for those images.

Status: Invalid

Comment 4 by sunnydomains, Nov 11, 2008

Well, yes when I right click on the tag to open an image it shows me 404 with all 
browsers as well.
But no user will right click on the tag to open it as an image and if you llok with 
IE or Firefox you will ACTUALLY SEE ALL TAGS, with Chrome you just see that "missing 
image" symbol.
I just tried it again and all tags are displaying properly in IE and Firefox but not 
in Chrome. 
I have no idea how to generate a screen shot with Vista, otherwise I would attach it.

Comment 5 by sunnydomains, Nov 11, 2008

That's not the point!
In IE and Firefox you can see all tags displayed correctly, Chrome shows that missing 
image symbol.

[Confirmed] - Very valid and known Safari issue!

Regarding other browsers:
   Safari 3 - FAIL, Opera 9 - OK, Firefox 3 - OK, IE 7 - OK (and Chrome - FAIL)

Problem only for Safari and Chrome.

This is an already known Safari problem and is exactly because Safari and Chrome are 
not automatically showing the ALT text when the image is missing.  See:
   https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5566

[Upstream] ?

If this is a known issue why Jon just simply closed that issue and marked it as 
Invalid without researching it further? 

Jon, could you please re-open it. 

This is a valid Chrome bug and quiet important. 

Just think about how many million of users are browsing vbulletin forums and 
therefore will prefer not to browse with chrome.

Comment 8 by bksening, Nov 12, 2008

I meant it is a known issue in Safari circles.

Now, hopefully, it will also be known to Jon and the Chrome dev team as well.

Jon, please re-open or re-status the bug as Upstream and label it Reported-to-WebKit 
or whatever label.

Comment 9 by mal@chromium.org, Dec 08, 2008

This is a valid bug, and the code that needs to be fixed is in WebKit.
