As Fiat Currency demonstrated to me and we discussed at some length on the thread Firefox + Greasemonkey script to view 'old school' iTulip, images attached to iTulip posts cannot be seen when using Internet Explorer 8. This seems to be a problem with the current vBulletin 4.0.3 forum software which iTulip uses.

For more details, see further posts #11 through #19 on the above linked thread, concluding with the following post:

Now I see the same problems you report. IE8 and the vBulletin version 4.0.3 software used on iTulip.com don't play nice. Thumbnails for attached images are just "Click image for larger version" text (with some more text giving useless details of the image), and if you click there, you get to watch a pop-up with a Spinning Circle of Doom forever.

I noticed another problem as well. Go to the iTulip.com home page and look for the pull down menus at the very top:

Company

Forum

iTulip's Record

Friends

Resources

(Sorry for the raw HTML -- HTML code is disabled in blog posts and I don't see how to enable it.)

This menu does not show on my IE8 browser. It's just a green bar. One cannot get from the iTulip.com front page to the Forum.

I guess it's time I complained to the esteemed management.
